Edward Feser @FeserEdward - With due respect to the pope, the remark is manifestly false. To cite just a few names among many, sainted doctors of the Church such as Thomas Aquinas, Alphonsus Liguori, and John Henry Newman were against abortion and for the death penalty, as were sainted popes such as Innocent I, Pius V, and Pius X. I imagine Leo would not dare to suggest these great heroes of the Catholic faith were “not really pro-life.”

Pope Leo XIV speaks out on Cupich’s plan to bestow award on Illinois Senator Dick Durbin. Sort of…
“Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life,” the pope explained. “Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro life.”

Elise Stefanik @EliseStefanik - This is the Schumer-Jeffries Shutdown.
A shutdown led by failed NY Democrats solely for partisan political gain.
It is an absolute disgrace and it is hurting hardworking New York families and the American people.
DO YOUR JOB & stop the selfish government shutdown madness!
