Papa Francisco
Former commentator and host Megyn Kelly did not waste much time to launch criticism of the “illegal immigrant Pope.” André Ventura adjusted his position on Francisco, but “would continue to disagree with him for receiving killers.”
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, died on Monday.
While most Catholics around the world cries the pontiff in prayer and reflection on its legacy, the presenter of Megyn Kelly used the first episode of his podcast on Siriusxm after Francisco’s death to attack the bishop of Rome.
Kelly, who was a journalist and commentator of Fox News and presenter of NBC before dedicating herself to podcasting, criticized particularly the progressive legacy of Francisco with regard to immigration and poverty.
The former journalist accused the Pope of having sent the Catholic Church “in a left -wing”With regard to your compassion for immigrants.
Just a day before he died, Francisco used his Easter speech to draw attention to the hostility to Megyn Kelly. The speech was given shortly after the visit of Vice President Jd Vance to the Vatican on Easter Sunday, note a.
“The Church has participated in the coming of immigrants here, finding them accommodation and Helping them to stay hereregardless of the fact that they are illegally here, ”said Kelly, who has always been claiming Catholic. Pope Francis didn’t have to deal with it“.
“Many of us in the Catholic Church wondered why we are doing donations on Sunday,” Kelly continued.
“Conservative Catholics, like me, were caught in a conflict between Pope’s messages and what he wanted us to believe be deep Catholic teachings, And what we understand as Americans that they are seeing our citizens are murdered on the streets by these people, ”he added.

During the Donald Trump’s first termPope Francis expressed occasionally critical positions Regarding the US President, in particular regarding the construction of the wall that now separates the US from Mexico to prevent the entry of South American immigrants.
According to Kelly, undifferent supporter of Trump, the US president is only “dedicated to getting rid of this type of peoplethat Pope Francis only looked like vulnerable and defenseless“.
“Do you know who is vulnerable and defenseless?” Kelly asks. “Laken Riley“.
In February 2024, Laken Riley, a 22 -year -old nursing student, was murdered while doing jogging no campus from the University of Georgia, by José Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan immigrant previously accused of theft at the university facilities.
“Is it sleepy or hypocritical?”
Francisco’s papacy was not totally consensual within the Catholic Church, particularly among the most conservative faithful, who often criticized “Too progressive” positions that assumed.
Knowing the news of his death, numerous public personalities, politicians and party leaders have expressed their grief and paid tribute to the high pontiff – more contained, however, in the right sectors, where they were also listened to more critical voices to Francis’ positions.
The Leader of arrives, André Venturathat during the World Youth Day will have “to avoid the Pope, was one of the last to react to the death of Francis, who recalled as“An example for all Those who want to serve the public cause“.
This Tuesday, in an entertainment program at SIC, the presenter confronted Ventura with her apparent change of position in relation to the Pope.
“In the past, made fierce criticism of the Pope And said, among other things, that Provided a bad service. Yesterday, he said Pope Francis leaves an inspiring brand of proximity and simplicity. Tell me there, it’s sleepy or is hypocritical?“Asked Julia Pinheiro.
“Neither. We may have freedom, but in Portugal we are used to having no criticism. I criticized this Pope when I understood that We could receive all immigrants, and I disagreed with him“Answered Ventura.
“Would continue to disagree If he were here in front of me, respectfully, but he would disagree, because I don’t have two faces, I don’t have one to say one thing and another to say another, ”he added.
“We cannot receive everyone anyway. It would disagree with the Pope when, instead of receiving Italian politicians, received Fidel Castro. Or Fidel Castro It’s a killer, it’s a dictator“I exemplified Ventura.“ I think the church should not receive it. The church should not receive killers. ”
The arrival leader may be right in an appearance: according to the database, About 8,100 dead or missing attributed to the Cuban Revolution and the Fidel Castro regime “during two dictatorships, from 1952 so far.”
Failed in a small detail: Francisco never received Fidel Castro. The Pope was actually Received in Havana by the Cuban dictatorthen 89, during one in September 2015.
