To be completely honest though I commented on the tweet, then saw the title after posting it. They actually were threatening Vatican with a military action. This is apparently why Pope postponed 2026 visit to US. Insane.
Asshats. They've no idea the bear they're poking. The Catholic church may be severely diminished nowadays, not to mention more tame, but it's still influential all over, it's the most powerful church in the world.
A military action against the Vatican means a military action against Italy (both by geography and by treaties between the two). It'd also mean the EU would come in help. What an idiotic administration.
Yes, teehee, I know, but I figured my title as it is would provoke someone to point that out, and I am just frolicking in the madness of what is apparently reality, and just wanted to be goofy.
If that’s true, and the Pope, as a representative of one of the largest religious groups in the world, doesn’t officially tell everyone what happened, denounce the administration as corrupt, and place politics above his religion and supposed belief of Jesus Christ, then he is no follower of anything but, ultimately, his own self.
I don't expect him to. Historically Vatican doesn't get into political games Twitter trolling etc. This admin was trying that already and it just ended with silence.
You know, I actually wonder what happens with citizenship once you become pope or one of the few top cardinals. Do you lose/renounce your original one and become a citizen of Vatican City?
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.
Shhh, you're not allowed to point out that the entire Bible is full of contradictions and that theology is just people trying to explain away discrepancies in their fan canon theories...

This is also after the revelation that this regime was actually threatening Vatican to better support trump or else.

I'm fairly sure that most Popes (and people who have the Vatican on their passports) generally maintain dual citizenship.
