Hey folks,
I sat down with Christopher Hale and Mike Madrid to unpack the explosive backlash Pope Leo is facing from MAGA influencers—and what it means for the future of the Catholic Church and our democracy. If you’re interested in the intersection of faith and politics right now, this is a must-watch.
[00:01:10] Christopher Hale breaks down Pope Leo’s viral remarks on what it really means to be pro-life—and the furious right-wing backlash that followed.
[00:04:42] Mike Madrid exposes the coordinated MAGA campaign to hijack the Catholic Church, and why Pope Leo’s resistance matters.
[00:07:03] We talk about the Conclave’s message to America and why Pope Leo may be the global leader we need in this moment.
[00:16:15] Christopher teases a powerful new papal letter focused on care for the poor—and how the right is already losing its mind over it.
[00:26:31] Mike draws bold historical parallels to past papal leadership in the face of authoritarianism—and why this fight is just beginning.
If you’re a Democrat, a Catholic, or just someone trying to live with integrity in a chaotic world, you don’t want to miss this conversation. It’s not just about politics or religion—it’s about reclaiming moral clarity, protecting human dignity, and resisting the forces that want to divide and dominate.
