Background of the new Pope:
"...among #Catholic orders, Augustinians tend to be at the forefront of #diversity #equity and #inclusion efforts. If anything, building such a community has always been the charism of the #Augustinian order."

#Leo first Augustinian #pope

Another shrine to Our Lady of Good Counsel is at #ClarePriory in England: established 777 years ago under the patronage of Richard de Clare & his wife Matilda; enlarged by his daughter-in-law Joan of Acre and granddaughter Elizabeth #LadyOfClare. The modern relief by Sister Concordia is based on the fresco at Genazzano. 🧵 2/2

I have heard it repeated on the net that:

'The new #Pape is anti-#Trump and anti-#MAGA'

Pope Leo IVX is one #Augustinian, He's anti-hatred, anti-cruelty, and as an Augustinian a pragmatic fervent disciple and supporter of the 'word of Christ'

Since Trump and the MAGAs (using Jesus words are 'whited sepulchres')
and their ideology and actions are the >opposite< to the 'word of Christ'
it is obvious that the Pope opposes their ideology of hatred and divisions
...
that's all.

I have a feeling that "baby Catholic" #Vance is gonna flip now that an actual #Augustinian is the head of his church and can school him even further on how badly wrong his interpretation of Augustine's book City of God is.
