There are many bad groups and individuals who are helping the ruination of our country and others. But IMHO they aren’t all huge players. Many will become weakened or destroyed as a consequence of whatever else happens. I just don’t see the bad guys in the Catholic Church, headed by the nasty Frencis, as being such huge players that they are a real concern at this point. Ymmv.
Just an example - there are Catholic and other religious groups (somehow related to denominations anyway) that take in huge US gov $ to “take care of” refugees. Very bad. But without the gov $ they won’t be able to do that and AFAIK a lot of that money has already been stopped.
Jeremiah, check out this vid of The Donald busting fatass's chops at the Al Smith CATHOLIC charity dinner where they raised 6 million dollars for charity. Lots of rich bigwigs in attendance, press leaders, and important mucketymucks.
My point in posting you this is, the Catholic church still has a lot of juice in the United States in politics and other places. Don't discount the Pope's power and influence.
My opinion. For what it's worth.
Also, that video is soooo hilarious. I just love watching The Donald's work. His gung fu is strong.
