Relations between the U.S. and the Catholic Church have not been the same since January, when senior U.S. defense officials shared an abrasive message with a Vatican official.
Days after Pope Leo XIV delivered his State of the World speech, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican’s U.S. representative, to a closed-door Pentagon meeting for a bitter lecture.
“The United States,” Colby said, according to a blistering new report by The Free Press, “has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”
That context though… Thanks for that!
In this day and age, literally anything sounds like it could be true, so I try to take some especially inflammatory things with a healthy grain of salt.
Also, with a suspiciously generic name like “Free Press”, you bet I’m looking at your credentials!
You’re doing us a solid by posting your findings. You didn’t have to do that, but ya did. 🤝
With these fuckers it always seems right though.
