#Vance wading into spat between #Trump and the #Pope is only turning the heat up…

“It would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality, to stick to matters of what’s going on in the Catholic church and let the president of the United States stick to dictating American public policy”

- Trump is a dictator acting without checks or balances.

- launching an illegal war is not merely ‘public policy’

JD Vance defends Trump amid spat with Pope Leo: ‘Stick to matters of morality’

Catholic vice-president effectively tells Leo to stay in his lane after pope criticized the White House over the Iran war

The Guardian

If war is now considered to be outside of the confines of morality by modern politicians then we are in a very dangerous place indeed.

This is absolutely why we need more history and philosophy taught in schools.

But…

“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them”

I get that some religious folks find #Trump’s Jesus/Pope cosplaying highly disrespectful…but I would argue these things are worse:

1) targeting civilians in an illegal war (killing innocent women and children)

2) raping and sexually assaulting women and children

3) having innocent men, women and children kidnapped off US streets and put into prison camps

@JugglingWithEggs it cuts through to some who still hadn't seen through him though, and that's why it's worth shouting about.
