    This is also after the revelation that this regime was actually threatening Vatican to better support trump or else.

      I read that also.

      If that’s true, and the Pope, as a representative of one of the largest religious groups in the world, doesn’t officially tell everyone what happened, denounce the administration as corrupt, and place politics above his religion and supposed belief of Jesus Christ, then he is no follower of anything but, ultimately, his own self.

        I don’t expect him to. Historically Vatican doesn’t get into political games Twitter trolling etc. This admin was trying that already and it just ended with silence.

        LOL, I guess, poor Pope Francis.

        To be completely honest though I commented on the tweet, then saw the title after posting it. They actually were threatening Vatican with a military action. This is apparently why Pope postponed 2026 visit to US. Insane.

          A military action against the Vatican means a military action against Italy (both by geography and by treaties between the two). It’d also mean the EU would come in help. What an idiotic administration.

          Asshats. They’ve no idea the bear they’re poking. The Catholic church may be severely diminished nowadays, not to mention more tame, but it’s still influential all over, it’s the most powerful church in the world.

          Ahah! You fell for my trap headline!

          Yes, teehee, I know, but I figured my title as it is would provoke someone to point that out, and I am just frolicking in the madness of what is apparently reality, and just wanted to be goofy.
