Qasim Rashid, Esq.The US government just threatened the Pope. Not metaphorically either. Pentagon officials reportedly invoked the 14th century Avignon Papacy—a historical and devastating event of military conquest of the Catholic Church—as a warning after Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran.
In response, the Pope cancelled his planned US visit. This is not normal, and builds on Hegseth’s oft reported anti-Catholic bigotry. smh
Tl:dr Even the Pope appears unsafe from the clutches of Trump’s fascism.
