The first American-born pope, the woke Pope Leo XIV, used his July 4th post ‘congratulating’ the greatest nation on earth for celebrating its 250th anniversary to push for mass migration and put the pro-life movement on the same moral plane as the open border advocates.
For context, Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost, ascended to the Papacy after the death of Argentina’s Pope Francis, who was the first pope from the Western hemisphere, in 2025. Since that time, he has pushed far less Catholicism and much more leftism. Chief among those attitudes is his consistent advocacy for immigration. He has repeatedly denounced the Trump administration for its efforts to deport violent criminals despite living in one of the most heavily fortified cities on the entire planet.
And so it was on July 4th that the pope backhandedly celebrated America’s birthday with an additional woke push to point out the trite ‘nation of immigrants’ and diversity is our strength’ pablum. What’s more, though, the woke pope basically said if you oppose abortion then you should also oppose deportation and closed borders.
“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today,” a lengthy thread on X began.
“In marking this anniversary, it is important to recognize that freedom of religion has long been central to the American promise, protecting both individual dignity and the peaceful coexistence of a diverse people. This same freedom has permitted the Catholic Church to take root and flourish within the United States, to the advantage not only of her own members, but of the entire nation,” it continued.
“Among the principles that have guided the development of this country is the God-given dignity of every human life, each person being endowed with an inherent worth that calls for reverence, protection and care. In this spirit, a full understanding of this dignity leads to recognizing the importance of safeguarding human life from its beginning at conception until natural death, and of building a society in which the vulnerable, the suffering and the forgotten are always met with compassion, solidarity and love,” it continued.
“Defending human life also includes welcoming, protecting and assisting immigrants, whose hopes, sacrifices and contribution have formed part of the history of this country from its very beginning. In every generation, those who have arrived seeking freedom, opportunity and a place to belong have helped to shape the nation’s character. To receive them with compassion and generosity is not only an act of charity, but also a recognition of the dignity that belongs to every human person,” it finished.
