Rep. Fitzgerald Statement on the Election of Pope Leo XIV
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement on the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope:
“The election of Pope Leo XIV marks a historic and joyful moment for Catholics in the United States and around the world. As the first American pope, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost’s elevation to the papacy is a powerful reflection of the Church’s global reach and the enduring strength of its mission.

He left out: “And may Pope Leo XIV listen to, and obey, any and all directives that come his way from our Lord and Savior, Donald Trump.”
Congressman Fitzgerald’s press releases reflect the narcissism of our times. All about him. In this instance, what seems lost to him is Jesus’ revolutionary message, which can be summed up in four words: peace, love, justice and inclusion. As a Trump Republican, how does Congressman Fitzgerald square that message with the policies of his party, which are rapidly institutionalizing cruelty, dehumanization, injustice and exclusion against “the others” as national values? And, anticipating a right-wing response, rejecting cruelty does not mean advocating “open borders” or “the great replacement.”
Love your neighbor. Feed the poor. Heal the sick. Welcome the stranger.
There’s nothing republican xtians hate more than the teachings of jesus.
Doesn’t Congressman Fitzgerald support war crimes being committed by Netanyahu?
Congressman Fitzgerald did next to nothing to hold those responsible for failure in the US military accountable. A US Army soldier accepts bribes while on active duty. He retires from the military. There is an investigation, and he is convicted in federal court. Fitzgerald does nothing, and a convicted military officer receives full retirement pay. US tax dollars wasted – paying full retirement to an army officer who accepted bribes.
The problem is that no one really knows what Fitzgerald does or doesn’t do, and then they vote.
Fitzgerald doesn’t answer a lot of questions and doesn’t debate. . . .
