In a recent episode of the “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow delved into the topic of Pope Leo XIV. Marlow began by stating that he believes in giving the Pope a chance to prove himself before passing judgment. He also noted that Leo is an American, which adds an interesting dynamic to his role as the leader of the Catholic Church.
The question on everyone’s mind is, “Is the Pope woke?” This term, popularized in recent years, refers to someone who is socially and politically aware and actively advocates for progressive causes. With the Catholic Church’s history of conservative values, many are curious to see where Pope Leo stands on these issues.
Marlow examined the evidence and found that the Pope has made some bold statements that align with the woke movement. In his encyclical letter, “Fratelli Tutti,” the Pope called for a more inclusive and just society, stating that “the right to private property can only be considered a secondary natural right, derived from the principle of the universal destination of created goods.” This statement challenges the traditional Catholic belief in the sanctity of private property and suggests a more communal approach to wealth distribution.
Furthermore, Pope Leo has been vocal about climate change and the need for environmental stewardship. In his encyclical “Laudato Si’,” he called for urgent action to protect the planet and its inhabitants, stating that “the Earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth.” This stance aligns with the values of the woke movement, which emphasizes the importance of protecting the environment for future generations.
The Pope’s stance on immigration is also in line with the woke movement. In his message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, he called for a more compassionate approach to immigration, stating that “we must respond to the globalization of migration with the globalization of charity and cooperation.” This message goes against the anti-immigrant sentiment that has been prevalent in some parts of the world and shows the Pope’s commitment to social justice.
However, Marlow also acknowledged that the Pope’s views on certain issues may not align with the woke movement. For example, the Catholic Church’s stance on abortion and same-sex marriage remains unchanged. But Marlow believes that the Pope’s overall message of love, compassion, and inclusivity is in line with the values of the woke movement.
In conclusion, it is clear that Pope Leo XIV is not afraid to challenge traditional Catholic beliefs and advocate for progressive causes. While some may argue that he is not woke enough, Marlow believes that the Pope’s actions and statements show a genuine desire to create a more just and inclusive society. As the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo has a significant platform to spread his message of love and compassion, and it is up to us to listen and act on it. So, is the Pope woke? Marlow’s examination of the evidence suggests that he just might be.
