Trump and Vance will simply ignore it just like they ignore court rulings and laws

Holy moly he said what everyone was thinking. Doesn’t the Pope know that Trump consults the White House Faith Office and not the cardinals in far away Vatican?

I agree with the sentiment but I care about his opinion in the same way I care about when random celebrities get involved in politics.

It’s always funny to me when the pope’s statements get posted here because it’s always something like
“Catholic leader preaches Catholic doctrine, more at 11”

Cool. That reminds me… remember how the Vatican covered up the child rape epidemic?

It wasn’t really independent under Maduro. It was a vassal of Russia.

The first American Pope doesn’t want an American president to take over another country. what gives?! /s

The pope should go to Venezuela then. Stand next to the (arguably) legit VP and her brother running the national assembly and their uber court or whatever…or the pope should go and stand next to Edmundo González (and Machado) as the (arguably) legit govt leader.
This is a perfect moment for the pope to actually do something.

If the events of the last few hours taught me anything is that a large part of reddit would have LOVED the Iraq invasion if the platform was around in 2003. Kinda feel the masochistic need to look up the posts from when Gadaffi was toppled and read the hot takes redditors had.

If the Chicago Pope wants peace, he’ll have act more mobish and threaten to excommunicate Melania over this.
She’s Catholic.
She’s the first lady.
She’s not without influence.
As long as she dresses like Evey with the priest in v for Vendetta it’ll be all good.

Pope vs Trump.
Gladiator match.
Feb 14, 2026 noon at the Texas/Mexican/Arizona border.
Winner take all.
$100 per ticket.
All proceeds go toward housing and food for immigrants. English lessons, STD testing basic and healthcare.

Here’s where “American Christians” claim the new pope is evil and is “too radical”

So this is what he actually said:
>”We must not delay in overcoming violence and embarking on paths of justice and peace, while guaranteeing the country’s sovereignty,” the pope told pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square during his Sunday prayer.
Which makes more sense than the title, since Venezuela isn’t being annexed.

In other words. Evil organization that protects pedophiles embraces hipocrasy and asks pedophile to leave Venezuela alone.

Are statements like this expected from the Pope or is Pope Leo more political than his recent predecessors?

Thank you Pope Leo!

It will, once the place has been pillaged and plundered just like they did with Guatemala, Vietnam, Nicaragua and Afghanistan.

Here’s where I’m torn… Maduro was a kleptocrat. Despite being considered “leftist”, he never attempted to redistribute assets from the wealthy to the poor. Just the opposite, really.
So, Venezuelans are rightfully happy he was removed, but what will a US backed government do to help the people? Is the US just going to change the group of elitists benefiting from Venezuelan oil and say “you’re welcome”?
Platanoes on
1. Maduro is an ilegitimate president
2. Venezuela is already being plundered by Russia, Cuba, China and Iran in exchange for military
3. US presence is a step up
4. If your knowledge of Venezuela comes from wikipedia and have never lived there, please shut up.
