Days after Pope Leo XIV delivered his State of the World speech, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican’s U.S. representative, to a closed-door Pentagon meeting for a bitter lecture.
“The United States,” Colby said, according to a blistering new report by The Free Press, “has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”
One U.S. official present at the meeting brought up the Avignon papacy, a period in the 14th century in which the French monarchy bent the Catholic Church into submission, ordering an attack on Pope Boniface VIII that led to his downfall and subsequent death and forcing the papacy to relocate from Rome to Avignon, a region inside France.

Queue FR's neocons, internationalists and Israel-o-philes who'll rush in with their usual hate, venom and vitriol justifying this.
They've run the smart money off and have taken over. It's just them and tiny-brain geriatric redhats.
I didn’t vote for this. We should all pray hard for President Trump and his administration.
“I would actually like to talk to Cardinal Cristophe Pierre and, frankly, to our people, to figure out what actually happened. 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.”
— JD Vance, Vice President of the United States
i think i’ll wait for the Pentagon’s take. i imagine it did not enjoy the Pope saying that God doesn’t listen to prayers of those who wage war...at...all.just a guess.
He’ll get back to us in about… two weeks.
It’s Yahoo, so even if words were exchanged, the truth has been twisted completely out of recognition..
“unconfirmed and uncorroborated”
Good grief you hyperbolic Karen’s.
If one agrees or disagrees, it has always been my understanding that the Pope’s “business” is religeon, not politics. It seems that every time that they involve in politics it doesen’t fair well. I refer to the assistance during and after World War 2 concerning the Nazis. A serious error. Politicians and Clerics should both stick to their paths and not try to interfere with the other. In my humble opinion.
No. It’s fake news.
If true, Pentagon has lost its way!
The Pentagon was also supposed to give us their "take" on the bombing deaths of 150+ little girls.
We got silence.
It’s not Yahoo, it’s the Free Press, Bari Weiss’ outfit.
For better or worse, the Pope is not just a religious leader but is also a head of state for a jurisdiction that is recognized under international law and maintains diplomatic relations with about 180 other countries around the world.
<< Leo’s January 9 speech in which the pope argued that … “war is back in vogue, and a zeal for war is spreading.” >>
The pope is just butt-hurt that border security and deportation is back in vogue.
Yahoo News—you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
“This administration has lost its way, its mind, its soul and is taking America with them.”
The POPE has lost HIS way, pushing the idea that any war is evil regardless of why it is fought. The Pope also supports unlimited immigration.
As for the guy’s specific comments? If he made them, he should be fired. What else is new? People in EVERY administration say stupid things. Heck, Joe Biden couldn’t even speak half the time...
Leo needs to stay the hell out of the business of America. We pray to God, not Leo from Chicongo, the “wrong place at the wrong time state.”
This pope had NO PROBLEM with Iran having nuclear weapons, of Iran’s government of thugs killing off 40,000 of its own people, of Iran attacking Israel daily, but if anybody does anything to stop Iran, then the pope is all upset.
This Pope is neither a Christian nor a Catholic. He’s a globalist/communist plant, nothing even remotely biblical about him.
How many divisions does the Pope have?
“The Pentagon was also supposed to give us their “take” on the bombing deaths of 150+ little girls.”
Are you so STUPID and so anti-Trump that you believe the US deliberately attacked a school? Why are you supporting Iran?
