Vatican Newspaper Remembers Jan. 6 Siege as Attack on U.S. Democracy
Catholic Review ^ | 1/6/22 | Cindy Wooden

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The attack on the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, 2021, “represented a direct blow to the heart of American democracy,” the Vatican newspaper said.

Marking the first anniversary of the storming of the Capitol, the newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, explained to readers, “The attack on the Capitol was the degenerated development of the ‘Save America March,’ organized by supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump to contest the election that had decreed his defeat.”

In its Page 4 article, the newspaper noted that it took three hours to secure the building after the siege began and that, when it was over, four protesters were dead, 13 were wounded and a police officer died a few days later in hospital from his injuries.

While several thousand people had attended the pro-Trump rally, the Vatican newspaper said those who laid siege to the Capitol were just a portion of the crowd, many of whom wore “far-right and white supremacist emblems.”

No. The fraud of 11/3 was, and is, an attack on both democracy and our Constitutional Republic. Even a little child knows. Let 1/6 serve as National Fraud Acceptance Day, thanks to Mike Pence.

Yeah well, I could bring up the Vatican’s support for the murderous Ustashe in Croatia during WWII.

In truth, those who have come to power by fraud are terrified by those who call them out for their misdeeds.
What greater horror to the criminal than a march on their disreputable citadel of power.

Someone tell the homosexual Marxist pope the attack on US democracy took place on the night of Nov 3 and in the days following, long before the demonstration of Jan 6th to protest the attack on US democracy.

The L--d despises liars.

The Vatican would understand this if the prioritized serving Him instead of themselves.

And as a Reformed Catholic and believer I truly feel bad for the good clergy who have been betrayed by the Papacy.

Catholic Charities taking millions from the US government to pay for their assistance with the illegal resettlement. No separation of Church and State. It’s blatant betrayal and illegal.

The pope has to recoup his losses from the “spotlight” homosexual, pedophile scandal which cost the Vatican millions in lawsuits and loss of property.

They are going with the democrats left wing.

Who voted for the Pope? They’re all Commies too, and getting rid of Bergoglio isn’t going to fix the problem.

The insurrection, which aimed to stop Congress from certifying the valid election of President Joe Biden, ...

So the Vatican is saying it was a "valid election"? Just like the Vatican is saying it's selfish and immoral to not get the deathvaxx?

The Vatican elite appear to get their talking points from the same Politburo that directs the White House and DemocRATS. Same identical use of words.

No mention of the November 3 & 4th attack and destruction of the American Constitutional Republic.
