The Holy See, which has a tradition of diplomatic neutrality, has expressed alarm over the Trump's administration's crackdown on migrants and cuts in international aid while insisting on peaceful resolutions to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

I have issues with the Church (my concerns, my battles.) JD Vance battling Philosophy with Pope Francis? Jerkus Erectus. Looking for a photo op? Out of his league? Out of his mind? The Pope loves immigrants in any country. Trump and JD don’t know what love or compassion or empathy are. They’re racist haters. The never see the good in others. Especially themselves.

The Pope meet with JD Vance this morning for a couple minutes to be kind and just to wish him a Happy Easter.

Yesterday, the Pope skipped the official meeting and his 2nd in charge gave the wayward convert a lecture on what it means to have compassion.

This morning the ailing Pope had his speech on compassion and immigrants read to the world.

He didn't name names but it was clear he cares nothing for Vance and Trump.

God is not a fan of the Trump regime.
