Papal Election, Trump's Jet, P*RN BAN, Protests, and More

Written By Pete Range

On today's show Peter discusses Pope Leo XIV, Planned Parenthood, Pornography, and Trump's New Jet. These topics only go together on The Catholic Citizen. In this episode, we dive into the election of a new Pope following a tense and fractured conclave, President Trump’s controversial decision to accept a luxury jet from Qatar, a dramatic protest during HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s testimony that led to the arrest of Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, a bold new bill aiming to criminalize all pornography nationwide, and Planned Parenthood’s record-breaking year in taxpayer funding and abortions.
