“The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

Now now now, if you are a devout catholic then you ought to accept that the Pope follows the voice of god and it shouldn’t even cross your mind that you could… *gasp* influence the Pope’s stance on issues. Especially by such crass mob like tactics.

I used to think that Russia and China were the greatest threats to humanity but now I know for a fact that America is the number one threat.

actual potential thing Trump might say: “I’m disappointed in the Pope, not a true American.. Vatican has so much gold, they’re not using it properly. we could run the Vatican so much better, wouldn’t you like that? of course you would.”

Excommunicate these fucks, live on TV. It´s still possible in 2026 ? Or is it ? Make American”Christians” understand!

A worldly power bullying the papacy? Who has ever heard of such a thing!
Before you know it Mar a lago will be the new Avignon, Antipope plus palace, the works.

Trump, his cronies and every single “person” that voted for him will burn in eternal hellfire. The antichrist has come and you MAGAs will follow him straight to hell by the righteous hand of GOD.

“Pentagon officials say…” “The Vatican says”… “Vatican Officials say…”
Fuck I hate that this is the constant bar of entry for any news feed. Unnamed, anonymous sources in every fucking article.
Top officials at the European Union say this is 90% of the reason Kosovo has a bread shortage, and Kosovo officials say this is untrue.
Slop. Pure slop.

Here. I’ll do the Vatican a favour and draft a response for them:

Or what? They’re gonna bomb the Vatican? Kidnap the pope? Lmao

The fact this isn’t global news is astounding.
The Pentagon literally threatened the Vatican with military action if they didn’t publicly support them.
All 1.5 billion Catholics should be outraged right now.

Trump’s arrogance knows no bounds. I just do not understand why he hasn’t been thrown out of office. After a while you’d think the welfare of millions of people would count more than the illegal wealth they’ve already accumulated.

To borrow (and probably butcher) a killer line from the Expanse: “we need to convince people that god is on our side” gets the retort “Abraham Lincoln hoped that he was on god’s side.”
