Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Leo punctuates Francis’ pontificate and builds on his own themes regarding the poor. The document serves as a sign of continuity between Francis and Leo, and is a clear mandate to those who would treat the poor as if they don’t exist. You cannot call yourself self a Christian and cast away the poor.

Asked by journalists about ICE raids on Chicago, the Pope responded: “I prefer not to comment at this time about choices made, about political choices, in the United States.”

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Pope Leo: “In recent hours, in the dramatic situation in the Middle East, some significant steps forward have been taken in peace negotiations…I ask all those in positions of responsibility to commit themselves to this path, to bring about a ceasefire and to release the hostages..”

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Homily for Red Mass Given by Robert Cardinal McElroy - Archdiocese of Washington HOMILY: Red Mass Men and Women of the Law as Architects of Hope Given by Robert Cardinal McElroy, Archbishop of Washington Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, Washington, DC Sunday, October 5, 2025 ...

Cardinal McElroy: “We live at a moment in which politics is tribal, not dialogical, and where party label has become a short-hand for world-view on the most volatile topics in our national life. The result is explosive, within politics, family life, and friendships.” adw.org/news/homily-...

Note: 6 of the 9 SCOTUS justices are Catholic, and for the first time as far I as I can remember, not a single justice was present at today’s Red Mass in DC.
