Why is the Vatican allowing leftist U.S. politicians to exploit the pope?
Pope Leo XIV and his supporters have resolutely denied that the pope is a politician in the wake of his spat with President Trump.
That’s a little disingenuous. Aside from the fact that Pope Leo was elected, and that classical Catholic education teaches Aristotle, who said that man is a political animal, and anyone who lives outside a polis, or city-state, is “either a beast or a god,” politics is human nature. The pope is not a beast, and he’s especially not a god. And while the Vatican pretends, or deludes itself, by saying it’s not political, it is.
