The US government just threatened the Pope. Not metaphorically either. Pentagon officials reportedly invoked the 14th century Avignon Papacy—a historical and devastating event of military conquest of the Catholic Church—as a warning after Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran.

In response, the Pope cancelled his planned US visit. This is not normal, and builds on Hegseth’s oft reported anti-Catholic bigotry. smh

Tl:dr Even the Pope appears unsafe from the clutches of Trump’s fascism.

@QasimRashid Wonder what Leonard Leo thinks about all this. I hope he's very, very unhappy.

Either way, if there's a hell, Leo and Vance will be running into each other there someday.

@QasimRashid @cwgrody Add this to Ted Cruz’s statement last month and we’ve got some real Klan-like anti-Catholic rhetoric going on.

@QasimRashid Their “faith” is only in the pursuit of power… It does not follow any recognizable theology

@QasimRashid The evangelicals are all freaking out that conservative Catholicism is on the rise. They are petrified Catholics will become the dominant christian sect. Like truly petrified. Even though there is like 2cm of daylight between the two religions, they do NOT want to be second fiddle, because they find that its great to be the boss of everyone else.

@QasimRashid is It just me seeing a paradox of a pedophile-led administration wanting to arrest the boss of an organisation always keen to defend its own pedophiles?

@QasimRashid I'm wondering if we will see a reaction of Vance about this.

Oh my, the world has been aware that Usonians have their own religion, maybe since Reagan: Crueltianity, enhanced and expanded in the maga era.
