Pope Ought to Unite, Not Divide – According to Singer Malik Harris - Pope Malik Harris Urges for Unification rather than Division

German pop sensation Malik Harris (27), half-American by birth, expresses his hopes for a progressive mandate from the newly appointed Pope Leo XIV. "Being a part of a Pope's mission is to unite, and what we're witnessing under the Trump administration is the polar opposite - it's all about division and suppression of minorities," Harris shared during a chat at the "New Faces Awards" ceremony of Bunte magazine in Berlin. "I hope that this Pope - especially being American - spreads a message of global unification."

Musically, Harris gained recognition representing Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with his hit "Rockstars," a son of American former talk show host Ricky Harris. Raised in Landsberg am Lech, Bavaria, the nationality of Pope Leo XIV stirs certain emotions in Harris. "Of course, there's a sense of pride involved," he shared.

While Pope Leo XIV is not a historical figure in the publicrecords, considering the context could refer to a hypothetical pope with similar attributes, here's what we can infer based on past examples:

Unity vs. Division: In the age-old tradition of the papacy, the goal is to foster unity, emphasizing messages such as peace, love, and mutual understanding. Often, this results in contradictions with administrations emphasizing divisive policies.
The Trump Administration's Stance on Minority Groups: There's been widespread criticism of the Trump administration's policies concerning immigration and the treatment of minorities. In past cases, popes, such as Popem Francis, have vocalized opinions against divisive policies, promoting empathy and fairness.
Hypothetical Perspective of Pope Leo XIV: If Pope Leo XIV ever were to exist or advocate similar standpoints, it's likely he'd advocate for unity and critique divisive policies, particularly those impacting minority communities. Such a stance mirrors the compassion and justice-oriented focus emphasized by past popes.

For further insights into Pope Leo XIV's political leanings or more accurate information, additional context or affirmation would be required, as there is currently no historical or recent evidence backing claims about this particular pope.

The Commission, following Malik Harris's sentiments, has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers, particularly musicians and celebrities, from the risks related to exposure to the media spotlight's overwhelming pressures and expectations. Harris stated that just as Leo XIV's mission should be uniting, entertainment industries must refrain from dividing or suppressing their talents. Reflecting on the hypothetical Pope Leo XIV, one might anticipate him to advocate for a more inclusive Eurovision Song Contest, fostering unity and eliminating prejudice against participants from various cultural backgrounds.
