Threatening the Vatican/Catholic Church to get on board or else sounds about right for this regime. They've all convinced themselves they've been annointed by God & only answer to their perceived divinity without any restraint & anything else is to be vanquished. An empire is about to fall hard.

I believe a few of the really extreme nuts like Hegseth, Miller and a few others have convinced themselves that God has chosen them to carry out a mission and it's why God has given them unrestrained absolute power. Of course, there's always a con going on throughout to insert Christian Nationalism.

For a guy that has large Crucifixes literally tattooed on his body, it must be crushing hearing from the very Head of the Catholic church that he not only has Blood on his Hands, but he won't have his prayers listened to by God, and won't be getting a visit during the 250th Anniversary.

Hegseth & more. It really is Hitler's Nazi regime playbook they're attempting to duplicate from the top down. Read/watch any historical references & it's uncanny, including this pressure on the Catholic Church being no different than the Reichskonkordat treaty which the Nazis repeatedly violated.

Hegseth is a fundamentalist protestant. They believe the pope is the antichrist. Most of the christofascists in the trump regime also have this belief, but mostly because the pope stands in there way by reminding people of what christianity really is.

Lying and intimidation is their rule, not the exception. It was reported that they threatened to go 1939 Nazi on Pope Bob. Originally 1933 agreement insisted Vatican stop speaking out against the “party” by 1937, priest, nuns and bishops were being rounded up and gassed with the undesirables.

So pretend Christian, Drunken Pete Kegsbreath, from his moronic Department of Smores, is telling a nearly 2000 year old church, with over 1.4 billion members to shut up? Shut up yourself, idiot Trump ass licker. Signed Jehovah.

It would seem appropriate then that the church continues to criticize more!! It would in fact be very appropriate if all Americans and world leaders criticized more on an international scale that the pedophile in chief can’t ignore!!! The mafia rules mentality needs to be squashed!!

Leo grew up in the constantly changing mean streets of Cook County power politics and corruption. He will recognize and understand the difficulty in confronting corruption and authoritarianism in the Church, America, and the world… and he will be uniquely well prepared to meet those challenges.

Next week: Trump Orders Strike on Vatican "Sources say they were close to having nuclear Holy Hand Grenades, threatening the safety of Midwest people, who are also afraid of anyone with skin darker than sweet tea and speaking anything other than English with a drawl."

Frankly, it's time that the British government 'freed' the King, to say that under the circumstances of the USA aggressive behaviour kidnapping Presidents and initiating attacks on foreign countries, that at this time the King has decided not to visit U.S. #PopeHasBalls #BecauseTheyWon'tElectWomen

Sooooo 'respectful'. Always handy to have an underling make under the table threats, if you're the Prez or VP and are irritated about a person of influence standing up to you.

I mean, clearly Vance killed the last Pope, so yeah, I'm certain the Vatican are taking this seriously. The Swiss Guard should arrest any and all State visits from the US moving forward as a matter of security.

All indications are that this happened. Why would the Pope cancel a trip to the US, planned way in advance, yet not cancel other travel. Just the US... The stupid arrogance of our, current, government is astounding.

🤥International law defines war crimes as Actual facts during armed conflict—like intentionally targeting civilians or disproportionate attacks—not rhetorical threats/warnings. Hyperbolic language like ‘civilization will die’ is classic strongman negotiating style, not a literal plan for genocide.

I'm waiting for the Hegseth v. Vance smackdown. In one corner, a White Christian Nationalist, in the other a neo Opus Dei Catholic. Neither one has apparently read (or at least didn't understand) the majority of Christ's teachings.

Opus Dei has a habit of thinking they know better than a Pope, but threatening a Pope by citing the Avignon Papacy is a bridge waaaay too far for them. Even Leonard Leo wouldn’t put up with that.

Pope Leo won't be cowed by them. I'm unsure if Leo would'nt tolerate that because he wants a far right Pope who will champion his daughter as a candidate for sainthood. He's shown a willingness to spend whatever it takes to get his agenda pushed and Pope Leo can't be bought.

Of course they have a different account of what happened. That’s what they do. That’s ALL they do! Constantly gaslighting the press is essential if you never want to be held accountable. Dominate the narrative.

Sec. of War, Pete Hegseth, DDT, warns the Vatican that Hell will rain on it, if it continues ungodly criticism of his military excursions. The Pope is being advised that the Pentagon has contracted god on its side, and is not unwilling to apply the world’s foremost airforce on Vatican City.

The Church??? Has been warned to what??? No, OMG 😳 Pete. The Church tells you what to do. And you don't threaten to invade Vatican City with the cooperation of your friends, Itly and Hispaniola! Doesn't work that way even if they are dumb and hate gay people.

Default answer from WH to anything uncomfortable: "I haven't heard about it." And when it can't be denied: "X or Y are at fault." That's toddler behaviour not responsible politics.

I feel pretty confident that Kegseth is drunk on his assumed power and he would have been crude, rude and disrespectful to the Vatican. For all his false Christianity, his actions and words don’t support what he professes.

I can see #donaldjtrump actually attacking #vaticancity . Even though I know organized religion is a joke, I would not be surprised to find out #hegseth sent a cruise missile into that country.

Next up, reenact the Reichskonkordat, then attack priests as sexual perverts and hold mass show trials and send them to the camps... Fuck america. Fuck americans. Fuck the regime. Priests are people too

If Heg went to a mass he'd grab the cup of wine out of the priest's hand and down it in one gulp, then take out his little gun and demand the whole "god damn bottle." WHEN DRUNK HE SLURS jesus and says CHEESEWHIZ

Pete likes to play the Jesus card when it comes to his drinking, philandering, extra-judicial boat bombing, & unprovoked missile attacks on a sovereign country. Pope Leo, who has actually studied theology knows that Pete is a hypocrite whose actions are the antithetical to every teaching of Christ.

That would put the Pope on their level. All he has to do is tell them the real word of God, not that tripe that grifting woman spouts. I'm pretty sure he would have told them the Orange Paedophile is not the second coming. The Pope has the luxury of being God's chosen on Earth so can freely speak.

Hegseth will blah, blah, blah about separation of church and state when his rep talks to the Pope... but will have massive orgasms when Franklin Graham, Paula White et al sit on Pedolf's lap and tell tell Pedolf he reminds them of Jesus..

Trying to arrive at a date in which we arrived in Bizarro World ... was it the 1st Trump Presidency or the 2nd? Time seems to be leaping back, then forward ... suffice to state we're squarely in it now. I told myself it can't get any crazier ... oh, but it can. Crazier, scarier, more violent. 😬

Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican’s U.S. representative, to a closed-door Pentagon meeting on 01/22 for a bitter lecture & said the Vatican better take sides with the White House or else.

Let's see now, who are you going to believe? Alcoholic Pete the ignorant how-did-he-serve-without-being-court-martialed ... or Trump who hasn't uttered one word of truth his whole life? Or his complicit Cabinet and underlings? Nah ... I'll go with the Cardinal and the Pope.

The Zionists spit on Catholic people. They have Zero respect for anyone except themselves. Zionism is extremely dangerous and Must be eradicated from humanity. Trump and his evil criminal cartel are Zionist puppets.

A generic Protestant service and that's it. Huh ... maybe that is just another indicator why some of us closet Christians have decided to go it alone. Hypocrisy comes in all flavors.

I can see how this sentiment might provoke The Department of War to storm the ramparts. bsky.app/profile/rich...

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

While I dont generally trust the Vatican. Like iran I trust everyone more then this administration. Not joking north Korea boy could come up here talking and still would give him more credit then trump.

Right. Cause I'm gonna TRUST you lying motherfuckers OVER THE POPE. An AMERICAN POPE, at that. You guys ALWAYS threaten anyone and everyone who defies, disapproves or HATES you or the rapist, PEDOPHILE TRUMP; you've systematically destroyed all trust/integrity ppl had of the Pentagon. Full stop

Not yet! We need to cool this rhetoric until after the midterms otherwise the reps will demolish dems. Do not assume that stupid people who dont want to vote republican won't. The independent voter is literally the party of "cut off your nose to spite your face" level of stupid.

Yes Australians just voted in unprecedented numbers for a One Nation party in a state election. They are Australian MAGA. Fortunately preference voting prevented them winning many seats. Lemmings to the cliff 🙄

I'm not familiar with the Australian MAGA. When did Australia suck? Always seemed like an interesting place to visit to me. I get squirrelly on 4hr plane ride from claustrophobia that I could never make it down there though. ☹️

And WTAF is that overrated TV joke and pretend head of the pentagon gonna do? Other than completely embarrass himself! He’s the one who should be afraid not the Pope! What a complete waste of space!

Putting aside the whole absurdity of threating the Pope for *checks notes* making statements consistent with the teachings of Jesus, why do they care what the Vatican does? I mean the Vatican does not wield anywhere near the level of power it had back in the middle ages.

Once again the US shows the world that it is becoming a White Nationalist Christian theocracy that wants to rule the world. I just wonder how ignorant can a society be to believe that their American invented religions run by conman selling "faith and redemption" for profit are even "Christian"...? 🤔

Comes down to who you believe apparently, the Chump regime or the Pope. I'm not religious but I know who my money is on. It wears a funny hat but it's not the funny red hat with MAGA written on it.

Kinda waiting for the invasion of the Vatican by US troops. Hegseth bringing Jesus back to where he belongs, America. Prez Trump truthing about not letting the pope have nuclear weapons or say bad things about him. Israel bombarding Rome to establish a 100 mile buffer zone.

Did Evangelical Pete Hegseth threaten to take care of Pope Leo XIV, like Evangelical Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller invited 25 year Trump best buddy, Netanyahu Mossad Agent and Serial Child Rapist Jeffrey Epstein to join the plot to remove Pope Francis. What does REMOVE mean?
