Pope Leo once levied criticism at Trump and Vance, MAGA reacted with disdain to his appointment

  • Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV on Thursday, becoming the first American pontiff leading the global Catholic Church from St Peter's Square.
  • Prevost's election followed a secret conclave where 132 cardinals reached consensus within 24 hours despite his critical social media posts on MAGA policies and Vice President J.D. Vance.
  • As Pope Leo XIV, he holds strong pro-life views, opposes female ordination, supports climate action, and has a missionary background in Peru influencing his social justice focus.
  • Vice President Vance congratulated Leo XIV saying millions of American Catholics will pray for his success, while MAGA supporters reacted with disdain to the pope’s criticism of their policies.
  • Leo XIV’s papacy suggests a return to centrist Catholic teaching emphasizing peace, social justice, and environmental commitment, possibly diverging from Trump-era U.S. Policies.
