While speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vice President JD Vance said that Pope Leo XIV should “be careful” when he talks about theology. The pope recently criticized the war with Iran.
I am with you. I don’t believe in what the Pope stands for but also recognize that he is not only the head of state of a foreign government, but the mouthpiece of a significant part of human tradition. This really is like the “fake news” arguments from Trump’s first campaign, i.e., “I don’t agree with what they say so I will attack them personally.”
The utter fucking nerve of these assholes.
I’m not even a christian anymore, Catholic or otherwise. In fact I’ve long since gone full on athiest.
But even I’M offended by this new level of horseshit by the Trump clown-show.

Theology might just be overly-specific literary study, but I can at least acknowledge when someone is a world-class expert on it.
