I had been withholding judgment on Leo until now. Yup, he’s a disaster.

And with all the investigatory powers of the Federal government, they still have not identified who leaked the Dobbs decision from SCOTUS. They tracked down everyone who went to DC on January 6th…

Alan's avatar

Sheldon Snook, Mary McCord's husband and Chief Justice Roberts right-hand man.

Of course not...There is no factual basis to say Sheldon Snook leaked the Dobbs decision.

The claim is unverified, unsupported, and contradicted by what is publicly known about:

• His job

• His access

• The Supreme Court investigation

• The timeline

Alan's avatar

Unverified, but the circumstantial evidence, Snook’s position as Roberts counsel, the investigation and the timing of Snooks sudden and quiet departure after it was closed is overwhelming.

The Snook/Dobbs/Roberts story is at the end of the very long article about all of the known evil machinations of Snook’s wife.

I would not dismiss Sundance’s information. Alone among journalists—mainstream or independent—he’s been instrumental in breaking down the D.C. silos where intelligence, Congress and and the DOJ hide all the dirty secrets from each other and the public. He also outlined for Trump 47 cabinet selections that Tulsi Gabbard at DNI was the perfect candidate to fulfill that role the way Congress designed it—access to all the intelligence silos. That is why we now know that all three branches of government colluded to impeach a president—HSPCI (legislative), DOJ & CIA (executive) and Roberts (judicial).

Hello fellow Treeper.

You’ll do well to assume zero credibility towards Roberts. Snook is married to the biggest obstacle to truth and Trump hater in DC. Snook was Robert’s friend and associate in his office. Why would they be so buddy buddy if unaligned ideologically? My money is on Snook/Roberts.

The pope and the church has been bought and is infected with Marxist ideology. Plain and simple y’all. Been that way for decades. Probably would scoffed at David too.

I admire your very generous and restrained critique of Prevost. You're a better man than me.

He’s nothing but a Chicago liberal.

Another good one: Think ye that I am come to bring peace on the earth? Nay, but a sword.

Two disastrous popes in a decade. What’s one to believe in besides the Vatican and the Monarchy subjugating the planet.

Pete Howard's avatar

That is not a Pope. That is a politician in a robe, leading the Catholic Church.

I was only 2 or 3 paragraphs in when it occurred to me, "where is Bari Weiss?"

I am a Missouri Synod Lutheran. We also believe that abortion, except in very rare circumstances, is a sin. It is sad to see Pope Leo tacitly approve it. "Liberalism" in all its forms is the devil's playground. To put the death cult known as Islam on the same moral level as Christianity is foolish and dangerous. I hope the majority of American Catholics understand that and see Liberal Leo for what he is, and that's no St. Peter.

Jack, you hit the nail on the head. Have you seen the picture of so called Pope Leo bowing to Pachamama in Peru back in the 90's? He's a Francis follower that Francis groomed.

alan t's avatar

There is no evidence that Pope Leo XIV ever bowed to a Pachamama statue in Peru.

However, there is evidence—from multiple sources—that in 1995 he participated in an Andean “Pachamama agricultural rite” during an Augustinian symposium in São Paulo, Brazil, not Peru, and decades before he became pope.

A great read! Thank you.

We will listen when he opens the gates of Vatican City to all comers.

Dennis Habern's avatar

Ask LEO who he voted for and that is all one needs

to be concerned about his effn Communist character.

It is without a doubt that Leo has been programmed

to fill Frances's worthless effn left shoes.

In my view, what has the PAPACY ever achieved for the multitude?

Dennis Habern's avatar

In my view, I desire our current Pope, mounted on a white horse, clothed in full-body

Medieval armor, ready to do battle against the global dictators such as Iran, Russia,

China, North Korea, our American Communist/un-Democrat Party, and our radical

Blacks, instead of flying around planet Earth, waving his hands, dressed in the

normal, impressionalable Papacy attire. No Pope has ever been held accountable,

especially for the Priests that have taken advantage of young boys. Why not?

What say thee, planet Earth?

Pope Leo XIV has clearly chosen what partisan team he wishes to be part of and it is team blue. He’s the darling of the Democratic Party because he aligns with them on many issues and hates Trump like them. He’s also a coward who has nothing about the massacres of Christians in Nigeria and Sudan. Nor has he said a word about Iran’s slaughter of its own people, firing missiles at Israel and the Gulf States and its funding of terrorism. Pope Francis was also the darling of the Democratic Party and the press because they liked his views. But when staunch theological conservative Pope Benedict XVI was elected in 2005, they were none too pleased. Here was a pope who was a loud and proud traditionalist Catholic. As a liberal mainline Lutheran, I had many theological disagreements with the late Benedict. But I always respected him as a man who stuck to his principles no matter what.

Pope Leo embarrassed himself by going after President Trump. He should seek to be non-partisan and above politics. The 60 Minutes interview with the three cardinals was a train wreck. Two of them whined about a meme Trump posted where he pretended he was Jesus. Was it in poor taste? Yes. But that’s all it was, a bad joke. It wasn’t something they needed to get so worked up over. The President is a good Christian. He has complete respect for God and the Holy Bible. The third cardinal spewed verbal diarrhea about Trump’s immigration policy which he totally misrepresented. It was an embarrassment for the Church. Leo is alienating a good portion of his flock who are conservative. Yucking it up with Obama advisor David Axelrod was irresponsible and inappropriate for the Pope to do. His Holiness should reach out to President Trump and mend fences between the two of them. He also needs to apologize for not speaking up about Nigeria, Sudan and Iran.

Great post. As any Catholic knows, a pope is only infallible when speaking ex cathedra. That is, on topics of doctrine. Our pope’s should stay in their lane and not dirty their hands with the business of politics.

Queen Bee's avatar

Popes, plural. I missed the processor’s correction of my accurate spelling!!!!

alan t's avatar

Falsehoods...That Pope Leo has aligned with the Democratic Party.

• That he has said nothing about Nigeria, Sudan, or Iran.

• That he has expressed hatred toward Trump.

• That the Axelrod meeting was political.

• That the Pope has taken a partisan “team blue” position.
