Pope Leo's Communist Ties Revealed: What Catholics Need to Know

from The John-Henry Westen Show

Pope Leo XIV has been connected to communist affiliated organizations. Michael Hitchborn of the Lepanto Institute joins John-Henry Westen to examine the evidence and ask the question that faithful Catholics are demanding: how does this square with the Pope's duty to defend the faith?Hitchborn revisits his investigation into Pope Leo's past associations and discusses the Vatican's response to public controversies involving pro-abortion politicians. He argues that longstanding Church teaching on Canon 915, which bars those in grave sin from receiving Holy Communion, has been undermined in favor of a politically driven "seamless garment" approach to pro-life issues. The result is confusion: traditional Catholics face scrutiny, while pro-abortion politicians receive pastoral accommodation.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!
