Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you. Pope Leo the 14th, His Holiness has put out a couple

statements in the last month or so that have gotten the secular and Catholic media all riled up.

And I've looked at each one of them, and I know y'all might call me a Pope

spainer and throw some tomatoes at you.

I'm just going to go ahead and reveal my hand early here.

I don't see a problem with them.

In fact, one of the papal statements by Pope Leo, I actually really like.

So I'm going to show you the two controversial statements by Pope Leo the 14th on immigration.

And in particular, immigration seems like in the United States of America.

If you go online, you go on Twitter, X, Facebook, Instagram, everybody's talking about these.

And when I first saw the headlines yesterday, after Pope Leo made the statement, I hadn't watched the clip yet.

And, you know, when these things happen, you have to understand Taylor's mind.

When I see a papal thing, controversy, I just kind of go, oh, no, do I have to make

a podcast on this? Do I have to go down the trail and investigate? And I did, and I was actually pleased with what I found. So today, I'm going to

show you both of those clips. We're going to talk about them. I'm going to spend an extra amount

of time in live chat. I know y'all love the live chat, Q&A, and you want to answer me to

answer questions. Before I do, two things, I'm going to do

proverb of the day, but also the most important thing going on in my life right now, and I want

you to join me, is preparing for 2026. All right, 2026 is a new year. Whether your 2025 was awesome or it was in the dumps,

2026 is a brand new year. And I want to challenge you like I've never challenged you before to make 2026 your pivotal Catholic year. When you look back 5, 10, 20 years from now, you'll look

back and say, 2026 was a year when I went from third gear to fourth year in my walk with

Jesus Christ as a Catholic.
