267th Pope Has Pro Life Legacy

Habeums Papam! 

The Catholic Church has a new pope, and he is one that many never expected. After all of the humorous memes circulating of cardinals who were frontrunners to succeed St. Peter, the Catholic Church made history by electing Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as pope.

This pope brings a pro-life legacy that began during his formation years as an Augustinian. During his time at Villanova University, he founded one of the oldest pro-life clubs on a college campus, which continues to thrive to this day. 

While serving the poor in Peru, he carried water for mothers in need.

During his time as cardinal, he was a fierce defender of Life, declaring boldly that abortion is murder and affirming that Life begins at conception.
 

“We cannot build a just society if we discard the weakest, whether the child in the womb or the elderly in their frailty, for they are both gifts from God.”

What a blessing to have a once pro-life college student become pope. This is what makes the pro-life movement unstoppable. 

I predict that Pope Leo XIV will boost the Catholic population in the United States, oversee more causes of canonization from holy men and women from Peru and United States (maybe Fulton Sheen will be elevated to sainthood after so long) 

My hope for Pope Leo XIV is to continue standing again the culture of death while cultivating a culture of life just as his predecessors have done.  

Let us continue to pray for Pope Leo XIV as his papacy begins and for him to defend life from womb to tomb as long as he shall reign as Holy Father.
