The world paused to mourn the unexpected death of Pope Francis, a significant leader on the global stage. While liberals might shy away from acknowledging the impact of strong religious leadership, President Donald Trump wasted no time expressing heartfelt condolences. Trump, despite his Presbyterian background, knew the Pope’s role in unifying over a billion Catholics worldwide. That alone is a testament to the power of traditional values, which are often under attack by those who push secularism and progressive agendas.
When President Trump met Pope Francis back in 2017, it was much more than just a photo-op. It was a meeting of minds from different walks of life, showing that powerful leaders can engage in respectful dialogues without bowing to the insidious influences of globalist interests. Contrary to what leftist media might portray, these engagements underscore the importance of preserving cultural and religious heritage against the tide of moral relativism.

Vice President J.D. Vance’s recent visit to Pope Francis on Easter Sunday is another glaring example of how faith-based leadership remains at the heart of American values. Vance described a close, meaningful interaction on a day that should remind Americans of their Christian foundations—a lifeline in today’s ever-growing liberal chaos. The Vice President’s shock at the Pope’s passing reveals the humanity and unexpectedness that can’t be fabricated by media narratives seeking to exploit tragedy for ratings.
The left could learn a thing or two from the Church’s process for electing a new pope, which is a stark contrast to their own disorganized, chaotic methods. Much like the 2024 film “Conclave,” smoke signals and cardinals getting together may seem old-fashioned, but it’s precisely this respect for tradition and protocol that keeps the Church strong. Real-world processes don’t rely on the glitz of Hollywood drama but on centuries of practiced governance—something liberal politicians might want to take note of.
Pope Francis’ refusal to heed medical advice until it was nearly too late shows the kind of fortitude absent in today’s coddled, progressive society. He was prepared to meet God’s calling without fear, something rare in an age where the left would rather cancel someone than let them express sincere beliefs.
This moment gives us perspective: Will we honor traditions and strengthen them, or shall we surrender to the agenda that aims to erase them? It’s time America remembers its roots before looking to reinvent the wheel. Because at the end of the day, what greater honor exists than to stand firm in faith and principle?
