New pope's social media posts offer some insight into his politics

This article recounts Pope Leo XIV’s (formerly Robert Prevost) social media history with an emphasis on posts critical of U.S. conservatives. While presenting facts, the piece uses biased language by selectively highlighting reactions from right-wing figures and suggesting controversy where little is substantiated. The appeal to emotion is evident in quoting tweets on immigration and race that evoke moral outrage. A genetic fallacy arises in the subtle insinuation that his political posts compromise his legitimacy as pope. Finally, the inclusion of sensational commentator opinions acts as a red herring, diverting attention from the broader context of his clerical and theological contributions.
