Pope Leo has no problem speaking forthrightly when it’s an issue that he really cares about, like global warming or illegal aliens.
“We must pray for the conversion of many people, inside and outside of the church, who still do not recognize the urgency of caring for our common home,” Pope Leo XIV said.
Lamenting the natural disasters around the world that “are in part caused by the excesses of human beings, with their lifestyle,” the pope urged the intimate gathering in his homily “to ask ourselves if we ourselves are living this conversion or not: how greatly it is needed!”
“We need to move from collecting data to caring; from environmentalist discourses to an ecological conversion that transforms personal and community lifestyles.”
Asked about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, Pope Leo XIV says:

Compare that to Pope Leo’s mushy remarks about the mass murder of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria.
“I think in Nigeria, in certain areas, there is certainly a danger for Christians, but for all people. Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered,” he said, addressing a question from EWTN News about the safety of Nigerian Christians on Nov. 18.
“There’s a question of terrorism. There’s a question that has to do a lot with economics, if you will, and control of the lands that they have,” the pope continued. “Unfortunately, many Christians have died, and I think it’s very, it’s important to seek a way for the government, with all peoples, to promote authentic religious freedom.”
Things are happening. Christians and Muslims are being killed. Who’s doing it? Economics. Also a question of terrorism.
I documented this same behavior by Pope Francis who avoided and evaded dealing with the mass murder of Christians, but was more than happy to mourn the deaths of Muslims.
On Feb 14, 2025, Muslim terrorists kidnapped 70 Christians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, took them to a church, tied them up and beheaded them. Their bodies were left there to rot by the Muslim killers who did it to show the supremacy of Islam over Christianity.
Pope Francis made no mention of this bloody massacre of Christians in a church, instead in a meeting with the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, he spoke about “the serious humanitarian emergency in Gaza.”
Pope Francis had accused Israel of genocide, but had asserted that, “I want to say clearly that I do not like it when people speak of a ‘genocide of Christians,’ for example in the Middle East”.
Pope Leo is determined to continue the same policy. Like a lot of Democrats, he has a great deal of passion when it comes to illegal aliens and global warming, not when it comes to the mass murder of Christians.
Beginning with the Obama administration, Muslims murdered over 125,000 Christians in Nigeria. This revelation in the latest report from the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law documents a Christian genocide that has been taking place in Africa as over 1,000 Christian communities were shattered and 19,000 churches destroyed.
If only they had been illegal aliens in Mexico.
