Hey Pope Leo: Proof Your Beloved Biden Weaponized The DOJ Against Pro-Lifers… Care To Comment?

He's got an awful lot to say about the current administration, but would he denounce Biden's actions?

The current Pope has been in a war of words against the current President. Is it partisan, or will he be happy to denounce Biden’s targeting of Catholic pro-lifers, too?

The first American Pope has been getting a LOT of attention of late. He’s made some controversial statements about the Roman Catholic Church’s relationship with Islam, (and added a Muslim prayer space to the Vatican!). He’s made explicit call-outs to American foreign and domestic policy. And he had mastermind strategist behind Obama’s political ascent in a Vatican meeting that ran so long as to cancel planned meeting with others hoping to meet him. (It’s probably a coincidence the the wording of the Pope’s tweets since then just ‘happened’ to invoke some of the same buzzwords that Democrats have been employing.)

In response to Catholic pushback that the Pope was being political rather than acting in accord to the bounds of his office… critics started sifting through the former Cardinal’s social media history. It was telling. The full caption reads:

It’s fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope.
Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd:
“We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice.”
The account was deleted the day he was elected.

The thread includes screenshots including retweeting of prominent Democrats (like Chris Murphy) invoking hard-left shibboleths like ‘social justice’, amplifying the ‘children in cages’ narrative without acknowledging the photos were taken during the Obama years, and engaging in climate activism with a petition. That’s before we even get to the George Floyd and COVID topics.

It’s fine to be a political activist, if that’s your ‘first love’ and vocation (we’ve got … but if you’re are the public face of an entire Christian denomination, that’s emphatically not supposed to be your ‘first love’.

Here’s an opportunity to prove his critics wrong. Maybe he’s just as willing to call out political leaders in his own party. If so, than at least he’s being consistent.

Here’s a report of how the Biden admin was aggressively abusing the rights of Pro-Lifers and explicitly targeting them, and what Trump has done to defend them from such predatory and unconstitutional government abuses.

Surely he will speak up for the pro-lifers and commend Trump for righting heinous wrongs perpetrated by self-proclaimed ‘catholic’ Biden against innocent Pro-lifers (many of whom count themselves as Catholics) as recounted here:

 

The DOJ has released a report on actions taking during the Biden Administration to aggressively target Pro-lifers. That report contains more than 100 exhibits of supporting evidence, including emails from Biden officials.

Here’s the official summary as shared by the House Judiciary Committee in the following tweet:

The full text:

Today, the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group published a report detailing the Biden Administration’s weaponization of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Based on a review of over 700,000 internal records, the report not only details specific ways the Biden Justice Department weaponized federal law, but also outlines the corrective action taken by the current Justice Department to make right the wrongs of the prior administration.

“This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs. The weaponization that happened under the Biden Administration will not happen again, as we restore integrity to our prosecutorial system.”

President Trump promised to end the weaponization of the federal government. To many Americans, prosecutions under the FACE Act have been the prototypical example of this weaponization. The Justice Department conducted a thorough review of internal discussions, case files, and prosecutorial decisions under the Act and concludes that the Biden DOJ weaponized the FACE Act in several ways.

    • The Biden DOJ closely collaborated with pro-abortion groups to track pro-life activists’ First Amendment activity. Pro-abortion groups—especially the National Abortion Federation, Planned Parenthood, and Feminist Majority Foundation—capitalized on their relationship with the Biden DOJ to gain internal information and push targets for enforcement. These groups compiled evidence and dossiers that ultimately gave rise to search warrants and charges. The Biden DOJ affirmatively asked pro-abortion groups about pro-life individuals’ travel and constitutionally protected advocacy. The Biden DOJ and career attorneys monitored pro-life activists for years before charging them.
    • The Biden DOJ’s prosecutors engaged in inappropriate conduct and comments. Prosecutors knowingly withheld evidence that defense counsel requested to prepare an affirmative defense, tried to screen out jurors based on religion, and authorized aggressive arrest tactics instead of allowing pro-life defendants to self-surrender.
    • The Biden DOJ helped a pro-abortion group secure funding. The lead prosecutor on each FACE Act prosecution served as a reference on the National Abortion Federation’s application for a private grant. We found no record of ethics approval for the attorney to take an interest in the financial outcome of a party having business before the Biden DOJ.
    • The Biden DOJ pursued significantly harsher sentences for pro-life defendants than violent pro-abortion defendants. The Biden DOJ requested an average sentence of 26.8 months for pro-life defendants, compared to 12.3 months for pro-abortion defendants.
    • The Biden DOJ violated the rights of Americans through its biased enforcement of the FACE Act. Though the Act was supposed to protect both pro-choice and pro-life facilities, the Biden DOJ provided extensive support to abortion clinics, while ignoring and downplaying vandalism and attacks against pregnancy resource centers.

The Biden DOJ’s actions were wrong. The Trump Administration and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche are committed to rectifying these wrongs by taking the following actions.

    • On January 23, 2025, President Trump issued full and unconditional pardons to many of the pro-life Christians unfairly targeted by the Biden DOJ.
    • DOJ has settled civil cases to address the injustices and took personnel action against those responsible.
    • DOJ leadership has dismissed, with prejudice, three civil lawsuits against pro-life activists: United States v. Connolly, No. 2:24-cv-04467 (E.D. Penn.); United States v. Zastrow, et al., No. 2:24-cv-00576 (M.D. Fla.); United States v. Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, et al., No. 1:24-cv-00893 (N.D. Ohio).
    • The Trump DOJ issued a directive that, moving forward, DOJ prosecutors may only bring abortion-related civil actions and prosecutions under the FACE Act in extraordinary circumstances or in cases presenting significant aggravating factors.
    • To prepare this report, DOJ reviewed approximately 700,000 internal records. Acting Attorney General Blanche has approved a limited waiver of privileged information to provide the public the opportunity to review the underlying materials.

“The behavior unearthed in this report is shameful,” said Assistant Attorney General Daniel Burrows, Office of Legal Policy. “Lawyers who should have known better withheld evidence, worked to keep committed religious people off juries, and generally allowed the Department of Justice to be used as the enforcement arm of pro-abortion special interests.”

DOJ is committed to prosecuting crime in a manner that is consistent with its mission to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights. Should other affected individuals have concerns, DOJ will assess their allegations without fear or favor.

You can find the report and over 800 pages of exhibits here.

So, do ya think I should hold my breath as I wait for the Pope to weigh in?
