Surely they understand that the Pope was born in America (and is still a US Citizen!) so he therefore has a RIGHT to say whatever the fuck he wants. ๐Ÿ™„

The enablers from this incompetent administration threatened the Vatican. The Administration is so thoroughly filled with mentally deficient bullies, lacking relevant experience, and frightened of their boss, that they donโ€™t understand there are people or institutions that donโ€™t cave to bullies

A bit like his spat with The Boss.

And the first American pope.
Pope Leo is proving to be a wonderful example of how to follow the teachings of Christ to the entire world, not just Catholics. He is continuing Pope Francisโ€™ loving ways.
Papa Leo is also from
Chicago and can handle the crazy ๐Ÿ’ฉ of the felonโ€™s regime.

The Vatican needs to speak with Pete Hegseth personally, to let him know exactly where he's going when he reaches his demise. #FakeChristian

Usually the most a diplomat will say is โ€œFrank and open exchange of views โ€œ, which everyone knows is code for a shouting match. This must have been worse.

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 worldโ€ฆ and he will be uniquely well prepared to meet those challenges.

I picture a scene much like the gang-up on Zelenskyy they arranged.
Wish the Pope would do a few excommunications.

Itโ€™s not exactly the smartest move to bring up the Avignon papacy in front of a papal envoyโ€”especially when youโ€™re not even part of the Church yourself. One really has to wonder: does this administration seriously imagine setting up its own Catholic-style church in the United States?

I think at this point, people are not taking him seriously. Iran is not. Iran Russia & China all benefiting from trumpโ€™s stupidity. Bibi also asked Bush, Obama & Biden to attack Iran. We know answer to that. Tearing up nuclear deal in 2018 was so stupid.
