    So once again the pope doesn’t name names. He has the power to make statements against Trump and his shit, but dances around the issues instead.

      because even the church is susceptible to legal action.

      this was an official decree from the church. you can’t just openly accuse individuals because you want to, that’s how you get sued.

      just because you can kick one person’s ass doesn’t mean you go around looking for a fight from everyone.

        And then the Trump administration would have to prove him false. Wonder how well that would for them. If you are afraid of being sued then you are basically being told to shut up, but sometimes you shouldn’t shut up and must speak to the facts and name those that break laws. With him putting his head in the sand just proves that his is afraid. Which he needs to put on his big boy pants and speak against leaders that start wars and name names. We have enough people with power not doing shit. We don’t need yet another person with power to dance around the issues.

          which costs time and money. the outcome not which the church fails to directly benefit from.

          not to mention Trump is a know legal pest that drags legal proceedings out decades just to fuck with people and make them spend money.
