Pope Francis is more known for being a left-wing political activist than a theological leader of the Catholic Church.
Francis’ latest move has conservatives up in arms.
And Pope Francis just insulted Donald Trump in one unspeakable way.
Pope Francis names woke Cardinal as new Archbishop of Washington, D.C.
Pope Francis tried to derail Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign by smearing Trump as not Christian days before the critical South Carolina Primary.
“A person who only thinks about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” Francis told reporters about Trump’s signature promise to build a wall along the southern border.
Francis’ gambit failed.
And for the next four years, Francis took pot shot after pot shot against Trump by constantly attacking populism and promoting the green new deal and the cause of open borders.
Now that Trump is set for a second term, Francis stuck his thumb in the eye yet again by naming the head of the Diocese of San Diego, Cardinal Robert McElroy, as the new Archbishop of D.C.
McElroy is a woke Cardinal who is an outspoken proponent of open borders.
During remarks at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C., McElroy attacked Trump’s proposed mass deportations.

“The Catholic church teaches that a nation has the right to control its borders and our nation’s desire to do that is a legitimate effort,” McElroy began.
“At the same time, we are called always to have a sense of the dignity of every human person. And thus, plans that have been talked about at some levels of having a wider, indiscriminate, massive deportation across the country would be something that would be incompatible with Catholic doctrine,” McElroy added.
In Trump’s first term, McElroy attacked the idea of using the military to deport illegal aliens.
“We must disrupt those who would seek to send troops into our streets to deport the undocumented, to rip mothers and fathers from their families. We must disrupt those who portray refugees as enemies rather than our brothers and sisters in terrible need. We must disrupt those who train us to see Muslim men, women and children as forces of fear rather than as children of God,” McElroy declared.
McElroy also advocated for throwing out Church doctrine and allowing homosexuals and others not in a state of grace to receive Communion.
“As the synodal process begins to discern how to address the exclusion of divorced and remarried and L.G.B.T. Catholics, particularly on the issue of participation in the Eucharist, three dimensions of Catholic faith support a movement toward inclusion and shared belonging,” McElroy wrote.
Traditional Catholics were mortified that Francis would want to go to war with Trump.
“It is an appointment that we are unafraid to call terrible,” Luigi Casalini of the Messa in Latino (Latin Mass) posted on his blog.
Casalini wrote that “this choice feels like a childish revenge” by Francis appears as an act of retribution for Trump naming a Francis critic Brian Burch as the U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.
Francis’ appointment of McElroy to be the Archbishop of Washington, D.C., showed that the institutional Left may be down after the November election, but they aren’t out.
