This reminds me of a part of the movie Nuremburg....between Justice Jackson and the Pope....that part of the movie was make believe too....but was great dramaHonestly, when I first read this I thought it was from the Onion, but alas, no, it really is true.
Days after Pope Leo XIV delivered his State of the World speech, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican’s U.S. representative, to a closed-door Pentagon meeting for a bitter lecture.
“The United States,” Colby said, according to a blistering new report by The Free Press, “has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”
One U.S. official present at the meeting brought up the Avignon papacy, a period in the 14th century in which the French monarchy bent the Catholic Church into submission, ordering an attack on Pope Boniface VIII that led to his downfall and subsequent death and forcing the papacy to relocate from Rome to Avignon, a region inside France.
The Trump administration had taken issue with the pope’s critique of its militaristic proclivities. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top Pentagon officials were particularly aggrieved by portions of Leo’s January 9 speech in which the pope argued that “a diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force,” and that “war is back in vogue, and a zeal for war is spreading.”
Pentagon Threatened the Pope After He Criticized Trump
It was so bad that Pope Leo changed his plans to travel to the U.S.www.yahoo.com
So, the Pope spreads the Christian message of peace, and the Trump regime’s response is to just like a Mafiosi: Do as I say or we will beak your legs or in Trump’s case use the US military to attack your nation.
Only Trump is worse than a mafiosi, he will send your kids to do his dirty work.
Has there ever been a more deranged regime in Washington?
Did Trump’s Pentagon just threaten the Vatican?
