Pope Leo stirred the waters by blessing a giant block of glacier ice, melting ice from Greenland as part of a Vatican event to raise awareness for environmentalism.

And I'll show the video about it. There's a lot of people talking about this. Yeah, on one hand, the Pope is blessing H2O. All right. We Catholics have holy water. Blessing water. Blessing H2O, not a big deal. Happens all the time. Think what makes this a little bit different and the reason why people

are kind of concerned about what's going on here is it's a melting block of ice from greenland

and the way it's all situated it's not a mass it's not a canonical catholic liturgy but the whole

thing um it's a little bit

cringy, I'll say as a Gen X guy watching it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's there.

He's waving this banner.

The Pope blesses the melting ice.

And the optics are,

yes, cringe, but also, let me just put this way.

When Pope Leo was elected, there was a great amount of aura farming happen, as the young people say.

There were many pictures, you know, the vesture he's wearing, the Latin he's using, the Latin in the mask. Everyone was talking about the aesthetic. And a lot of people were saying,

oh, he's just wearing a certain solstere, giving him a pass. It's not about aesthetics. It's not

about beauty. It's not about aura. You know, what's he going to teach? But nevertheless,

unlike Pope Francis,

who had a much more casual approach to things, Pope Leo came out with a certain sense of aura. And I think he built up a reserve of aura. He was aura farming. He was aura maxing, if you will. And the episode two days ago,

where he talked about Senator Dick Durbin and the award, Supich was going to give him. And he said,

well, you're not really pro-life if you're in favor of the death penalty. He talks about migration.

That was a big moment, I think, for American Catholics.

We know who Senator Dick Durbin is.

We know that he is rabidly pro-A.
