    The Vatican could probably wipe out just about any government on Earth if it wanted to. They’ve got billions of sleeper agents all over the world who’d do whatever it tells them, many of them in the very governments they want to destroy. “The US has threatened to destroy Catholicism. You know what you need to do!” and suddenly everyone from mafiosos to Irish grannies to couch fuckers would be booking flights to Mar-a-Lago.

    Does threatening The Pope and starting a war with Iran disqualify you from retaining a gold plastic FIFA Peace Prize?

    Someone in the meeting then reportedly mentioned the Avignon Papacy to Pierre. This refers to a 14th century attack on the Vatican by the French king, in which Pope Boniface VIII was murdered by assassins and the Vatican was forced to relocate to Avignon where it could be controlled by the French crown for the next 67 years.

    Sounds like they’re threatening to do to the pope what they did to Maduro.

      The last pope died shortly after meeting with Vance. Sure he had pneumonia (but felt well enough to take a meeting), but Vance could conceivably have had something on his hand that interacted with the popes diminished health. Its pure speculation of course, and no one can prove it either way and the timing is suspect, when you see them now threatening the current pope with assassination. Assassination just comes to their mind huh?

        Vance doesn’t exactly look like the kind of guy who prioritizes washing his hands after a visit to the bathroom …or couch. Who knows what he had growing under those fingernails.

    On the matter VP Vance had this to say “I think it’s always a bad idea to offer an opinion on stories that are unconfirmed and uncorroborated, so I’m not going to do that.”

    this is coming from the “Haitians are breaking into homes to eat your pets!” guy

      Nothing reasonable about pedophile protecting fascist JD Vance. Let’s not allow them to position him as a viable leader.

        That can apply to ALL of them. In one way or another, they are depraved, corrupt, ignorant, stupid, traitors, or YES. You could make a drinking game that is paired with Cards Against Humanity, and everyone at the table will end up dead.

    Proof that religion is a hoax. If it were real, the Pope wouldn’t be able to resist splashing Trump with Holy Water.

    Nazis also had a problem with the Vatican during War World Two, What could possibly be the common reason now?
