Elbridge "Bridge" Colby, an upper-class nepo baby and weasel of the Groton/Harvard/Yale variety and a right-wing Opus Dei-lite Catholic like his pal JD Vance, summoned the Vatican's representative to the U.S. to the Pentagon for a Mafia-like threat, according to the New Republic.
“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.”
One U.S. official present at the meeting brought up the Avignon papacy, a period in the 14th century in which the French monarchy bent the Catholic Church into submission, ordering an attack on Pope Boniface VIII that led to his downfall and subsequent death and forcing the papacy to relocate from Rome to Avignon, a region inside France.
Do you fucking believe it? They're basically threatening Pope Leo with another handpicked false pope if he doesn't hop to Trump's command. Boy, does this stink of smelly Steve Bannon.
What's the matter, boys? Aren't the hundreds of evangelical whores who praise Trump as a virtual God and kiss his orange ass enough to fill the massive hole?
Go ahead, I dare you. If there's anything that will drive fallen-away Catholics back to the Church, it will be finding out that Trump had his goons threaten Pope Leo.
