He believes everyone should be treated with kindness and care\u2014no matter where they come from. This has led to strong disagreements with U.S. leaders like Vice President JD Vance and former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-jd-vance-s-words-don-t-match-church-teachings-pope-suggests\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">JD Vance\u2019s Words Don\u2019t Match Church Teachings, Pope Suggests<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier in 2025, JD Vance gave a speech where he talked about \u201cordo amoris,\u201d a Latin phrase that means \u201corder of love.\u201d Vance said people should first care about their own families and fellow citizens before helping strangers like immigrants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h1 class=\"entry-title\">2) New Pope Leo XIV Has Long Opposed JD Vance and Trump on Immigration<\/h1>\n<div class=\"entry-meta\"><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1605502\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But Pope Leo XIV didn\u2019t agree with this idea. He believed that love shouldn\u2019t be limited. As The Daily Beast reported, the pope liked and shared posts that pushed back on Vance\u2019s speech. He stood by Pope Francis\u2019s teaching that love should not depend on who someone is or where they\u2019re from.<\/p>\n<p>The Pope Criticized Trump\u2019s Immigration Actions Too<br \/>\nEven before becoming pope, Leo XIV spoke out against Donald Trump\u2019s immigration policies. He didn\u2019t like how Trump treated people trying to come to the U.S. for safety or a better life.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3063\" src=\"https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/33.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/33.png 700w, https:\/\/lifepress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/33-300x249.png 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"580\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>As noted by the New York Post, Leo XIV shared many posts on social media that called Trump\u2019s actions cruel\u2014especially the separation of families at the border.
