Vatican confirmed that the account is authentic and belongs to PREVOST, born in Chicago, but also with Peruvian nationality
Months before being elected Pontiff, he shared him on the social network x articles that criticize the president of, and his vice president JD Vance, mainly for his immigration policies. In February, then cardinal Robert Francis Prevost shared a link to the article “Jd Vance is wrong: Jesus does not ask us to classify our love for others.” The Vatican confirmed that the account is authentic and belongs to PREVOST, born in Chicago, but also with Peruvian nationality. The text, published on the National Catholic Reporter website, asks Vance for using the Catholic doctrine to support the cancellation of US foreign aid. But a precept known as “Ordo Amoris” (The Order of Love), the vice-president, converted to Catholicism in 2019, said that the charity of a Christian should benefit his family and fellow citizens, not foreigners.
The late Pope Francis had already publicly criticized this nationalist interpretation. The last message on the X account of the new head of the Catholic Church, published on April 14, is linked to the text of an auxiliary bishop of Washington, of Salvadorenha origin. This prelate, Evelio Menjívar-Ayala, harshly criticizes the policy of mass expulsions of immigrants from the US government. In recent years, PREVOST has been very sporadic in the use of X, previously Twitter. It merely shared messages or links to websites.
On September 4, 2017, for example, he shared a message that criticized Trump use, then in his first term, from the term “bad men” (bad men) to refer to immigrants, a vocabulary that could foster “racism.” This sharing of articles and publications caught the attention of a controversial influencing the far right, Laura Lomer, near Trump. The new Pope is “Woke,” Loomer wrote no X, using a royal right -wing term to designate diversity promotion policies.
