Where Else Should The Pope Be?

NEW: JD Vance flew to Rome to formally invite Pope Leo XIV to join America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

The first American pope has declined — days after rejecting President Trump’s “Board of Peace” invitation.

On July 4, he’ll be in Lampedusa, standing with migrants — not in Washington — drawing another stark line between the Trump-Vance White House and the Catholic Church under Leo.
Under Trump, the 250th anniversary will whitewash the American history of genocide, racism, slavery, class warfare and economic injustice, and abuse and exploitation of the immigrant.

The “Board of Peace” is an Orwellian Minitrue label for a cynical attempt to turn Gaza into a resort for Trump’s profit, and for currying favor with the U.S. by the lowlife members of the “Board.” It dissolves as soon as Trump is clearly a lame duck.

Why would the Pope appear alongside a man who kills people in boats indiscriminately, and claims credit for it?
Lampedusa is a destination on what has become one of the world's deadliest migration routes, where many people land after crossing the Mediterranean often in simple fishing boats or makeshift dinghies.
Pope Leo’s purpose is pretty clear.
