Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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."

It's funny:

The end-times prophecies are clear-as-day, now, & they WHO ARE WALKING INTO IT are ignoring the consequences??

Here's the 1st-Seal thing, with the Time of Conquering, & the Conqueror ( Trump's ONLY addiction )

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+6%3A1-2&version=CJB

& here's the prophecy about Trump's "mortal head wound" & pending "miracle cure"..

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13%3A3&version=CJB


The funny part?

IF their 2nd Coming appears .. he'd be war-incarnate against them ( the guy-on-white-horse-with-double-edged-blade-of-Cutting-True-Speech-projecting-from-his-mouth ), fighting "the beast", which they hold to be "lord"..

they don't even know their own prophecies.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19%3A11-15&version=CJB

THAT guy would be the LAST thing those abomination-loyal ones would want to see coming into our world!

( caveat: John of Patmos was filtering everything through his unconscious-mind, so the distortions are .. kinda rampant. Jung & I both experienced the same kind of distortions, in our VISION-dreams. I've no idea if that King of Kings guy is 1st-Seal, aka The Great Filter's 1st Yang Stage, XOR if it's later in humankind's "cell-division", splitting between the murder-life-for-authority's-lordhood kind & the LivingSpirit-loyal kind, the WAR stage, which should begin in 7-ish years, after the Regional Consolidation Time is finished, or if it's in the 3rd stage, the no-food-chain-left stage, where people are living off of greenhouses like Silent Running ( movie ) had, but on Earth..

The fundamental point, though, is that anybody doing what Hegseth's doing, to bring the 2nd Coming .. pouring "blood and destruction" into the world .. is warring against that guy in the 3rd biblical-reference, above. )

Interesting Times!

PS: I'm calling this pope Good Pope Leo, because from what I can see, he is: & I'm not Catholic.

PPS: I just read the beginning of that chapter, & it looks-like that's the stuff for the 2070's, NOT for this end of "the tribulation"/"armageddon"/The Great Filter, so .. no point in getting our hopes up.
