The new Pope had also reposted a message from the Democratic senator Chris Murphy in support of gun control in 2017, and reposted a message expressing alarm that the United States wouldn’t meet its carbon-emission goals, also in 2017. He expressed support for the Covid vaccine, reposting in 2021 a message that said, “May God grant us the grace to face #COVID19 with the strength of faith, ensuring that vaccines are available for all, so that we can all get immunized.”
