Pope Leo XIV is absolutely furious at Donald Trump and his despicable regime. Pope Leo XIV has formally rejected any involvement by himself and the Vatican in Trump's so-called Board of Peace. which Pope Leo XIV has labeled a colonialist operation, saying, no, thank you, I don't want to be anywhere near that. In addition, the Vatican has now confirmed that Pope Leo XIV officially rejected the invite to show up at America's 250th day celebration on July 4th, back in May, when J.D.

He rejected it to J.D. Vance's face. And this past week, the Vatican leaked out that Pope Leo XIV said, absolutely no way, I'm not going. He put the invitation aside and just said, I'm not going to be doing that. In fact, this week we learned what Pope Leo XIV is doing.

migration issues. And he's saying that I'm going to be spending my time with migrants and individuals there and showing that we are one world and we are one people. And he said, also announced as well, that there will be no plans to show up at all in the United States in 2026. I mean, he previously appeared in Chicago via, you know, at the baseball stadium there, but did not actually attend. And he has his Cardinal Kupich over there. And one of the developments that has been happening as well, and Pope Leo XIV has been rallying the cardinals and the bishops and the clergy in general to fight back against Trump and his regime.

They have tried to ban religious rights or any type of religious services at the detention centers. You have the detention center Broadview in the Chicago area, for example, had prohibited any type of Catholic priests or any religious clergy at all from showing up there. There had to be a lawsuit that was filed recently in federal court in Chicago where a federal judge said, hey, you know, there's a free exercise clause in the Constitution, and there's also a free speech clause in the Constitution, and the government is infringing upon the rights of the migrants who are being detained in these concentration camps in the United States. from receiving any type of visits from religious leaders, from religious leaders being there and supporting them at all.

And an emergency order was made to allow on Ash Wednesday for there to be ceremonies outside of the Broadview facility. And at first, it seemed like the Trump regime was not going to follow the court orders. But then ultimately, the court orders were uh were followed and uh here's how it's being reported by christopher hale uh in his ash wednesday homily pope leo xiv warned that the world is ablaze not just with war but with the collapse of law ecology and the sacred the pope argued lent a time not just for penance but for rebuilding he called for faithful not to be rigid and complacent but all but also open to moving and changing This is reporting from Christopher Harrell right before Ash Wednesday.

It appeared there's a chance that the Trump vance White House was going to defy a federal court order to allow Pope Leo's top ally, Chicago Cardinal Cupich and Catholic clergy to enter the Chicago area ice facility for Ash Wednesday mass. This would be a historic confrontation between the American government and the Catholic Church.
