His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.

No, Pope Leo is not “based.” But that hasn’t stopped conservative culture warriors from trying to mold the Pope in their own image - one that fits in neatly and conveniently with their theological, liturgical, and political sensibilities.
Is Pope Leo 'based'? The culture war compliment doesn't quite fit
The pontiff had barely stepped onto the loggia wearing the mozzetta and papal stole before social media was ablaze with traditionalists claiming, "We're so back."

Some noted a Kirk appearance in 2023 in which he said that gun deaths were "unfortunately" worth it for the right to bear arms.
“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”
