🇺🇸🇻🇦⚡️- U.S. Congressman Jeff Hurd (R-CO-03) has introduced a bill which would prevent an American pope from being stripped of his citizenship during his time in office.

The bill would recognize the extraordinary nature of the papacy and the historic election of Rober Prevost as Pope Leo XIV. The Holy Sovereignty Protection Act would also dispense an American called to the Petrine ministry from any and all tax obligations — something identified as a concern by senior officials in the Holy See’s Secretariat of State in the weeks following Leo’s election.

“This legislation ensures that any American who answers the call to lead more than a billion Catholics worldwide can do so without risking his citizenship or facing unnecessary tax burdens,” Rep. Hurd said.
