Pope Leo XIV, who was once Cardinal Robert Prevost, has been very clear about where he stands on immigration. 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

JD Vance\u2019s Words Don\u2019t Match Church Teachings, Pope Suggests
\nEarlier 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.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
