Is Pope Leo XIV Red or Blue? Why That’s the Wrong Question (#335)

from Considering Catholicism · host Greg Smith

Greg addresses conservative non-Catholic friends asking if Pope Leo XIV is “red” or “blue,” arguing that the 2,000-year-old Catholic Church transcends American political categories. Acknowledging concerns about Pope Francis’s perceived meddling on issues like immigration and climate change, Greg explores where red and blue ideologies intersect with Catholic teaching, reassuring listeners that Leo XIV’s balanced approach offers hope for unity. Citing Leo XIV’s first homily, which warns against reducing Jesus to a political avatar and living in “practical atheism,” Greg invites listeners to let the Church’s wisdom shape their civic life. Join him for a heartfelt call to prioritize the City of God over partisan divides. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!
