Can someone translate for a poor sinning Lutheran what this all means? As an outsider it looks like the Pope has run off the rails and into the weeds.

Yep, he has "invaded" the smallest sovereignty on the face of the earth -- the Order of Malta (not the island of Malta) -- which he has spiritual jurisdiction over, but not governmental. He has demanded the resignation of the head of the Order of Malta (Festing), reversed a governmental decision made by that head, and is going to install a "papal delegate" temporarily as the new head. Per international law, the whole thing's illegal as hell.

So international law overrules Church and Divine law? Are you kidding me? People need to wake up. If this is a true pope, then he has EVERY right to do what he has done.

Can you go back and explain, rather summarize, the situation in Malta that started this all.

Are you a practicing Catholic?
