Pope Francis’ controversial tenure has often intersected with American politics.
Usually, this takes the form of picking fights with Donald Trump.
But now the Pope gave Joe Biden one piece of advice that will leave you speechless.
The Pope urges Joe Biden to commute federal death sentences
Pope Francis first inserted himself in American politics during the 2016 Presidential Election by condemning Donald Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the southern border.
“A person who only thinks about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” Pope Francis declared on the eve of the South Carolina Primary.
It was an unprecedented attempt by the Pontiff to meddle in American politics.
Pope Francis spent the next four years whining about nationalism taking root in the West and demanding Europe and the United States support open borders.
The tail end of Joe Biden’s disgraced Presidency is once again witnessing Pope Francis interfere in American politics.
This time there is a vastly different outcome.
In his Angelus address, Pope Francis prayed for Biden to commute the death sentences for federal prisoners scheduled for execution.
“Today, I feel compelled to ask all of you to pray for the inmates on death row in the United States,” the Pope declared.
“Let us pray that their sentences may be commuted or changed. Let us think of these brothers and sisters of ours and ask the Lord for the grace to save them from death,” the Pope added.
Joe Biden claims to be a devout Catholic, yet opposes the Church’s teachings on abortion, homosexual marriage, and transgenderism and suddenly became a devout adherent to Catholic dogma on the death penalty.
Biden issued a statement announcing he was commuting the death sentence for 37 of the 40 federal prisoners on death row.
“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted,” Biden’s statement announcing the commutations read.
Biden commuted sentences for some of the worst thugs and killers on earth, among them child murders.
“Jorge Avila-Torrez sexually assaulted and murdered two girls, 8 and 9 years old, out riding their bikes on Mother’s Day. He stabbed the eyes out of Laura Hobbs. The next day her dad found the bodies in the woods. He spent 5 years in jail while Torrez continued to rape and kill,” conservative pundit Ben Domenech wrote on X.

Biden only allowed executions to proceed against the gunman who killed Jews at the Tree of Life Synagogue, the Boston Marathon bomber, and the white supremacist who murdered nine black churchgoers in 2015 in hopes of starting a race war.
In other words, Biden left the death penalty in place for anyone who commits a crime the Democrat Party can’t rationalize politically.
