Pope Leo XIV is absolutely furious at Donald Trump and his regime. And the Pope basically ordered the bishops and cardinals and priests in the United States to have their voices heard and to assert themselves and to powerfully rebuke and stand up to Donald Trump and his regime for their treatment of migrants. So Catholic bishops issued a rare form formal and public rebuke of Donald Trump and his entire regime for the mass deportation of immigrants and the horrific treatment that is being inflicted on migrants. I want to talk to you about what went down. So the American Catholic bishops delivered a A historic rebuke this week as Christopher Hale reports on his sub stack. Meeting at their annual conference in Baltimore, the bishops voted 216 to 5 with three abstentions to approve a special message on immigration.
The first such action in over 12 years. So after this overwhelming vote, the Assembly of Bishops stood and applauded a standing ovation. Here is what they said. And this is basically the strongest collective denunciation of a United States president by the Catholic hierarchy ever. in American history. And again, this was all being directed by Pope Leo XIV back at the Vatican. The letter says, we oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people. We pray for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence, whether directed at immigrants or at law enforcement. Listing a litany of concerns, what they described as a climate of fear, among immigrant families and parents who are afraid to take their children to school or even attend church and the catholic bishops and priests and cardinals deplore the vilification of immigrants we feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of god given human dignity now folks whether you're religious or not whether you're catholic or not
The point is, I think we all have a moral obligation right now to stand up against the regime. And I'm glad, again, regardless of religion, that Pope Leo XIV is using his platform to push back hard against the Trump regime. Now, we've heard Pope Leo IV. the 14th, denounced the Trump regime before and to describe his views about Trump regime's horrific treatment of migrants. For example, this was a video last month where Pope Leo said the American bishops need a more stronger and unified voice to defend migrants against Trump's deportation raids. Here, play this clip. I was struck at the beginning, it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which is, important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles that's going on in so many cities in the United States right now.
At least the church cannot be silent. You've spoken very strongly.
We're trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.
And this was from last week, or a little bit longer than last, early November, where Pope Leo called for a deep reflection on the treatment of migrants in the United States. He was actually speaking to journalists just outside Rome. Pope Leo XIV said that many people who have lived for years and years in the U.S., never causing problems, are deeply affected by the current situation. And it's important to note, right, that the Pope Leo XIV has his roots in Chicago. And so he talked about how they're depriving the migrants of mass. They're not allowing the priests to hold or conduct mass. And the treatment of priests outside the detention facilities, not just in Chicago, but across the United States,
has been absolutely terrible. Here, play this clip. In the first place, the role of the church is to preach the gospel.
What is Pope Leo XIV's rebuke of Donald Trump about?
And just a couple of days ago, we heard Matthew's gospel, chapter 25, which says, Jesus says very clearly at the end of the world, we're going to be asked, you know, how did you receive?
