17. It's not just Trump's attack on the Pope

Remember -- a couple of days after Trump launched his attack on the Pope, this happened.

A peculiar meeting at the Pentagon between apostolic nuncio Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who serves as Pope Leo XIV's U.S. representative, and a senior Department of Defense official has led to a flurry of speculation and concern about the relationship between the Pentagon and the Vatican.

The January meeting was first reported by The Free Press earlier this week, which claimed Pentagon officials warned the Vatican "the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants" and the Catholic Church should take its side. Within hours, the report sparked statements from U.S. and Vatican officials, with varying accounts and interpretations of the meeting emerging over the next day as a wave of discourse erupted among Vatican-watchers and other Catholics.

Trump attacks the Pope, Hegseth's lap dogs attack senior Catholic clergy who -- Thank God! -- fired back and did not back down.

Which brings us to this question: At what point will Trump send his private army -- ICE -- into churches?

And what will you do when it's your church? At my church I will be one of those barring the doors and they will have to beat the shit out of me to get me out of the way.
