At least this time he warned the pope unlike the previous one.

Apparently, back in January, a State Department official made a reference to the Avignon Papacy to the Vatican’s chief diplomat.

For those not familiar with the geopolitical history of Europe and the Catholic Church, this was a period in the 1300s where the French monarchy did their level best to basically co-opt and strong arm the church so they could squeeze money out of them, and led to a schism for a time.

Put another way: that is by far the most thinly-veiled direct threat I’ve ever heard anyone make to the Vatican in my life.

Nice pope you have there, would be a shame if he received a visit from US VP.

I believe, as does the Death of the Discworld, that after death, everyone is getting exactly what they think they deserve. The Hindus get reincarnated. The Hellenists go to Hades. The Nazi Pagans are going to Valhalla, if they die while shooting up a school. And Donald J Trump is going to be tortured forever in Hell. He said so on TV.

So keen to see what the pope does this week. TBH never been so invested in the pope or his beefs.

The amount of crazy interactions I have slight obsessions over has increased lately. In the last week Iran being bombed, the Hungarian election and now I have a ton of questions on the military tactics of invading the Vatican City. I wonder if there’s secret oil under it…or maybe some attractive Venetian sofas.

Has to go back to WWII to find the best examples of righteousness in American wars. Telling.
