Whether Cardinal Robert Prevost is conservative or liberal is difficult to determine. He has made his positions on immigration and deportation clear by criticizing Trump's policies.

Before becoming pope, Prevost shared a series of posts on X criticizing President Trump and Vice President JD Vance while hinting at progressive views — at least on issues such as immigration ...

Pope Leo, however, appeared to criticize Vance directly in a Feb. 3 post, where he linked to a National Catholic Reporter editorial that dismissed the vice president's stance on immigration.
