Leo XIV’s commitment to migrants and the poor will put it with MAI.
Robert prevost, chosen on Thursday to become the Pope and now takes the name Leo XIV, was close to its predecessor Pope Francis, and among them common features was a strong ideological dislike for the Vice Preident JD Vance. While Lev XIV and Francis were strollers, Vans – a beginner in the church. The descendant of “Hilbili” of Scottish-Irish Protestants, historically among the most anti-interpretists on Earth, Vens converted to Catholicism in 2019 Within the framework of the intellectual path to its current policy of right anti -Madranism. Reading Philosopher Rene GiRORD helped push Vnes to the church.
Despite the fact that his Catholicism was only as old as a child who started in the children’s class, Vnes made a provocative theological intervention earlier this year referring to the concept About “the order of love“(As developed by St. Augustine) Protect your immigration. According to Vens, “there is a Christian concept that you love your family, and then love your neighbor, and then love your community, and then love your compatriots, and then, put priorities in the rest of the world.”
Vens’s lawsuit, which contradicts universalism that insufficient Christianity and many other religions deserved a reproach to Francis, who addressed this issue in a letter to the American bishop. Although not naming Vens, Francis clearly meant the vice -president when he wrote“Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that are gradually spreading to other persons and groups. Ironically, Vens, who made a trip to the Vatican on the Easter weekend, was one of the last people who saw Francis alive.
Robert prevost, then the Cardinal,, “It seems to be shared by Francis’ wrath when using Vnes theology as a protection of selfishness. February 3 account Twitter under the name of Robert Prevost published“JD Vance is mistaken: Jesus does not ask us to rank His love for others.” Twitter contained a link to the article, critical Vance. (The Vatican has not confirmed that this Twitter account belongs to Leo XIV but Rock Post, Very well Dear Journalist on church affairs, wrote that is really Leo XIV account.)
Given this tweet and other progressive views on the new Twitter Channel, extremely right provocateur Laomero published This is Leo IV- “Anti-Trump, Anti-Mago, Proper Borders and Total Marxist like Pope Francis”. More concise, too loomer complain What we have “woke up Marxist dad”.
He will respond to the characterization of the lumer, shouting, “Praise the Lord!” But both Luer and many other commentators, including many progressives, make a mistake to see the Church’s policy in a narrow modern left/right spectrum (or even more narrowed categories of “liberal” and “conservative”).
Current Issue
The Catholic Church is almost 2000 years old, while the left/right spectrum dates from the French Revolution, just over 200 years ago. The Church’s assission for centuries – not to mention the historically remote context of such ancient texts as the Hebrew Bible, the Gospels and the works of the early church.Make the church at the same time very conservative and very radical. Both Francis, and Leo XIV, simply thanks to the main Catholic clerics, have views that go beyond the norms of American public opinion about many questions that do not easily reflect on the left/right spectrum: Francis, although it is often described as a “progressive” pope, opposed to reproductive freedom. But Francis also called for the level of economic justice, openness to migrants and environmental concerns, which would make it much more radical than virtually any elected official in America or many other countries.
The Catholic Church, at best, stands outside the present and offers a bright reproach to the political windows of any ordinary policy.
Leo XIV gives all the instructions for continuing Francis, which means both a strong commitment to social justice and minimal shifts on social issues. Currently, journalists are going to the Twitter Robert Prevost and Other records To tease Leo XIV policies. From the Twitter account seems like Leo XIV, like Francis, gives high priority Take care of migrants and poor. Leo XIV also supported the Black Lives Matter movement and was friendly to the weapon control. But it will also continue to go to the traditionalist gender norms and the doctrine of the natural law that makes the Church hostile to LGBTC rights. In addition, Leo XIV admires the law of Canon, which makes it unlikely to reform or upgrade the doctrine of the church. Also, there are, like many other church figures, long -standing disputes regarding his treatment of children.
Politically important is that the right -wing, such as Vnes, tried to co -operate the church along the guerrilla lines. This attempt to create the right -wing church that makes Leo XIV a natural opposition figure for Vnes and other ideologues. Leo XIV can provide moral support for political law on social issues, but he will also become an enemy on economics, migration and war. Choosing the College of Cardinals of the First American Pope as a person with the confrontation of xenophobia can actually have a conscious political dimension: it is a rebuff of attempts of figures, such as Vnes, pretending to be alone with a church – an institute that has a global reach and a variety of membership.
The Catholic Church has long been in Krapiva to ideologues of various kinds, but political law was more honest about its disagreement with the Vatican. In 1961, Pope Jan XXIII issued an encyclical Mother and teacherA strong reproach to the degradation of uncontrolled capitalism and confirmation of the church’s support to the poor and the oppressed. Conservative scientist William F. Bakley – Jr.answers To the encyclical with the editorial board that describes it as a “enterprise in triviality”. Bakley’s magazine National review later stopped ”Mater yes, master’s no“(In other words, the church is our mother, not our teacher).
The dismissal of the Catholic social teaching was too glyb, but it was accurate, thinking that secular people had the right to criticize and challenge these exercises. It was a point made with great force protégé Buckle Harry will in the book Politics and Catholic freedom (1964) The only problem with Buckley’s position is that National review Conservatives rarely wanted to listen to Catholics who challenged the church for abortion, patriarchy and homophobia.
The best way forward it would be to admit that few Catholics adhere to the church’s teaching on all issues. Those who choose and chooses doctrine sometimes rejected as “Catholic cafes”. But in reality, almost all Catholics (and possibly more than a few clerical Catholics) are “cafes”. Reviewing Bakley, it can be argued that for the believers the Church is both a mother and a teacher, but no one ever fully listens to their mothers or their teacher. As for JD Vance, as a Catholic only in the last six years he must realize that he is more appropriate to take on the role of the student, not the teacher. Before Vens, he will definitely spend more time studying the true depth and complexity of Catholic social thought.
