This open letter to the Council of Cardinals is to beg you to demand the Pope excommunicate J. D. Vance. Nobody threatens a Pope. Nobody can be allowed to incite Donald Trump’s Russian Terrorist Cells to issue bomb threats to the home of the Pope’s brother. Period!
Newsweek did not get it wrong.
U.S. officials were reported to have lectured the Catholic Church representatives, with one official reaching for a 14th century weapon and invoking the Avignon Papacy—a period of time when the French monarchy used military force to bend the Bishop of Rome to its wishes.
Newsweek
“America has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world,” Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, per the FP. “The Catholic Church had better take its side.”
The Council of Cardinals must act!
Am I a Good Catholic
No.
I haven’t been to church in decades. Despite having gone through Catechism I cannot make a claim to have read the bible. Bits and pieces, sure. Unlike the Christian Nationalists and Evangelicals for whom heaven’s gates are perpetually closed, I have a shot at getting in. They don’t. They voted for and support Donald Trump. That act is proof they don’t adhere the the fundamental tenant of all written religions.
What soever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me
When you believe the bullshit being spewed from the ass sitting on Donald Trump’s shoulders about only deporting the “worst of the worst” you shit on the religion you claim to have. Even the Cato institute is calling bullshit on the Trump administration’s claims and those far right nutters morally offend real Republicans.
Council of Cardinals
Please, for the love of God, excommunicate J.D. Vance. Ideally, have the Pope do it. People can disagree with the Pope all they want. They do not get to threaten him or have terrorist cell members issue bomb threats to his brother’s home.
Someone claiming to be Catholic cannot be allowed to treat Catholic immigrants like this. Be honest, most of them are Catholic, if they practice any religion at all. You must stand up for them by excommunicating him.
