✝️🕊 Cardinal Joseph Tobin called on Congress to stop funding ICE. One of America's most influential Catholics, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, harshly criticized Donald Trump's migration policy at a prayer vigil in Newark, and also called ICE a "lawless structure" and a "death machine," Letters from Leo reports. The cardinal called on the faithful to appeal to the congressmen and seek to withdraw funding for the service. Previously, no American cardinal had publicly called for the federal government to be deprived of money. Tobin said that the country is getting used to violence and is already living in a "culture of death." Tobin was supported by other influential cardinals from Chicago and Washington. Cardinal Joseph Tobin is one of Pope Leo XIV's closest allies in the United States. The pontiff himself addressed the Vatican's diplomatic corps in early January, where he said that war was once again being perceived as an acceptable political tool, and stressed that the use of force was possible only as a last resort when all other avenues were closed. #Catholics#ICE#Congress 👂More on Trump's Ear ⚠️

Catholics believe in holy water. How about holy beer? Pope Leo received a special gift on Wednesday from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a four-pack of American mild ale from a Chicago brewery. Pritzker, visiting Leo at the Vatican, handed the beers over to the pope as part of a gift exchange. He suggested Leo, originally from Chicago and the first U.S. pope, might enjoy a local brew. "We'll put that in the fridge," Leo responded, taking the beers and putting them on a table. #Catholics#Pope 👂More on Trump's Ear
