All proper sense of independence is under assault today by the Marxocrat Party, many in the Republicrat Party, politicized courts, judges and prosecuting attorneys, Cultural Marxism, Civilization Jihad, the UN, the EU, Globalism, the Leo Vatican, the USCCB <U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops> and not just a few Protestant clerics.

The Marxocrat Party's attack on independence is joined by all the many seemingly disparate yet allied angry revolutionary factions in the Party, from the gay pride nuts to the abortionettes to the enviro nuts to the Antifa anarchists to the flash-mob looters to the violent antisemites and right on into the convinced, successfully transsexualized, purposely unbalanced, enraged and hair-triggered potential mass murderers. Among other multiply arrested and multiply released dangerous criminals.

The combined Islamo-Commie-Homo attack on all proper sense of independence is also an attack on all proper sense of identity. Pope Leo XIV, following the globalism of Pope Francis before him, continues to blur the identifying characteristics of the Roman Catholic Church. In the purported bringing "Church" out to the world, he is actually bringing the world into the Church. "Accompanying" and "walking with" the world's non-Catholics in actual practice is opening membership to everyone.
<...>
The Catholic Church does not properly welcome in and offer all of her sanctifying sacraments to the unbaptized, or to the obstinate unrepentant sinner, or to the dedicated mortal enemy of The Church.

At least, not until the papacies of Francis and Leo.

Pope Leo joins the Marxocrats and the USCCB in favoring Iran over the free world and civilization, and in hoping to see the first nuclear exchange between Iran and Israel, perhaps expanding into a new World War. That's what he would prefer over Trump putting a stop to Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Like Francis before him, Leo prefers the company of the Clintons, Obamas and Bidens over that of the Trumps.
