EXPOSING ELITE GREED: Pope León XIV Condemns Global Indifference to Suffering at First Corpus Christi

In a striking sermon delivered during his first Corpus Christi celebration as pope, León XIV issued a powerful rebuke against the global elite’s reckless accumulation of wealth amid widespread misery.

Presiding over the Mass outside Rome’s Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, the pontiff observed that “today, instead of the crowds in the Gospel, there are entire peoples humiliated by greed more than by hunger itself.” His words confronted an inconvenient truth often glossed over by mainstream media: vast inequality is not accidental but a direct product of what he called “arrogant indifference” among the world’s richest.

The pope condemned how opulence squanders “the fruits of the earth and human labor,” highlighting that amassing riches without sharing is a moral failure punishing millions. This critique resonates deeply with America First principles that champion fairness, hard work rewarded justly, and protecting communities from exploitation.

A Biblical Call to Action That Mirrors Our Struggles

León XIV drew on the biblical account of multiplying loaves and fishes to emphasize that generosity and serving others must be urgent priorities. The Church’s mission is to multiply hope—not concentrate wealth. His invitation for inclusion at Christ’s table echoes the need for economic policies that uplift all Americans rather than enrich isolated elites.

The Silence of Established Powers

This papal message pierces through decades of establishment complacency. While governments and multinational corporations have amassed unprecedented power and profits, too many communities face humiliation due to economic injustice—both globally and right here at home. The pope’s focus on shared responsibility is a clarion call against systems that enable predatory greed under guise of progress.

An America First Perspective on Moral Leadership

Pope León XIV’s words should inspire American patriots committed to defending freedom and sovereignty from corrosive globalist influences. True leadership means restoring dignity to working families crushed by unfair practices masked as globalization or charity.

If we are serious about putting our country first:

• We must challenge concentrated wealth that undermines national prosperity.
• We should embrace policies fostering shared opportunity and real economic justice.
• And we must reject any ideology indifferent to the plight of everyday Americans facing humiliation and hardship caused by unchecked greed.

This papal homily reminds us that moral clarity combined with hard action defines genuine patriotism—something our movement has championed tirelessly.
