Pope Leo has issued a warning on the
dangers of extreme inequality:
"CEOs that 60 years ago might have been making 4-6 times more than what the workers are receiving, the last figure is 600 times more than what average workers are receiving."
A wealth tax on the super-rich is the only way forward.

As Marty Kelley says, Pope Leo has Republican knickers atwist not just by saying that you can't call yourself pro-life if you oppose abortion but not the death penalty, and by defending immigrants. He's also making statements and symbolic actions to address climate change and support attempts to deal with climate change. And Republicans are furious.

"Fox is the propaganda arm of the Trump administration, and Dolan’s eager presence in its studios suggests the degree to which powerful figures within and associated with the US Catholic Church shape—and are absorbed into—the ethno-nationalist program of the MAGA regime. In the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination, this unholy and wholly un-Christian alliance appears to be solidifying."

"If Pope Leo is THE LEFT/A TERRORIST/A PRE-TERRORIST/THE ENEMY WITHIN/ANTIFA, how in the world can millions and millions of Americans think they will escape this designation?
Answer: YOU WON’T."

And as Olmstead adds, Leo has gotten more Republican knickers in a twist by this:
"Answering a question in Italian about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s meeting of senior military officials, at which Donald Trump gave a speech, Leo deemed the American leaders’ rhetoric 'concerning' and indicated his displeasure: 'This wording, like going from minister of defense to minister of war—let’s hope it’s just a figure of speech.'”
And:
"Someone who says 'I’m against abortion, but I’m in favor of the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States'—I don’t know if that’s pro-life."
As Olmstead says, after Leo was elected, the American right (i.e., Republicans) hoped to find an ally in him in their culture-war battles. Now they're appalled at what he's saying and are lecturing him re: what Catholic teaching "really" means.

As Molly Olmstead notes, Pope Leo has gotten Republican knickers atwist by saying the following — by reiterating points made by his predecessors, since they're basic points of Catholic teaching:
"Someone who says 'I’m against abortion' but says 'I’m in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life."
