Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."

Thoughts and prayers are useless. If he had any real influence, the pope would browbeat his Damned SCOTUS majority into allowing gun control. But he won't, because the NRA owns that corrupt pack of Catholics. "As the plow follows words, so God rewards prayers. " William Blake

I don’t want to show disrespect for a man I respect deeply but I’m worn out hearing about thoughts & prayers. They haven’t worked for ages. Action works. It’s a thoughtful gesture certainly but prayers are ineffective overall.

I’m sure all the republican Christian’s in congress will jump right on gun reform now that the Pope has condemned it. JK, they will do nothing as per usual and more people will die.

He should do something useful like deal with the bullying issues in Catholic Schools if he actually cared about what happened. Thoughts and prayers do nothing, especially from a person that has the most ability to do something

I want to believe that he really cares. Actions speak louder than prayers. How about joining with the head Ukrainian Orthodox guy and saying a mass in Kyiv? Join with an imprtant Israeli rabbi and Arab imam to distribute food in Gaza— for example. Political impediments? Yes. So what.

Just to be clear: bullying did not kill those kids. A person with a gun did. We should focus on keeping guns out of people’s hands. The pope should refuse communion to Catholics who do not vote for gun conteol

And if you think refusing communion means jack shit, you have not been around gun enthusiasts or American Catholics.

Just to be clear, he was a former student of the school and chose it for a reason. And the vast majority of mass shooters who chose their former school its because the school failed them in some way. Its not the kids fault they died- its the adults that clearly failed to protect them,

And if they did not have access to a gun, no kids would have died. It’s the guns. Kids get bullied everywhere, we can work to fix that. Kids only get shot in places where guns are easily accessible. There is a reason bullied kids in the Uk don’t shoot up schools.

The target was a specif Catholic school, and that is something the Pope can do something about. Instead of drilling down and finding out what happened to make this school a target, he gives thoughts and prayers.

Bullying is a significantly less important issue that mass shootings

Wrong, because it is one of the precursors for mass shootings, just like domestic violence.

Just like he is silent on the fact the RCC is fighting being forced to alert the authorities when being told about a sexual predator Actions are a language, and clearly, they don't care about those kids any more than the GOP does.

American Catholics listen to the Pope exclusively on the issue of abortion and nothing else. In all other things they follow the Republican Pedo Party and the Orange Menace.

But is it really? The Catholic people I knew as a kid protested nukes and voted for Democrats. Now, it's 100% abortion and following the Evangelicals in everything, ignoring that Evangelicals don't like them.

Reading these comments...of course he is going to reach out to the families but italy or Europe dont have a gun problem. We are responsible for our actions. We need to terminate the NRA and bring back the ban on assault weapons. Its not the Pope's responsibility. It's yours.

They reminded me of the witnesses coming out of the death chamber after the execution of the Lindbergh kidnapper. Everyone thought it was a big party and came in evening clothes. The murderer's eyeballs exploded with the first jolt. His head was on fire after jolt #3. And he moaned for a while

If churches are allowed to participate in elections now, perhaps Pope Leo should weigh in and put the church’s blood money to a good use for once. That and excommunicate the catho-fascists like Leonard Leo and Barr.
