JD Vance has responded to claims that some at the PENTAGON had THREATENED the VATICAN

Vance was in Budapest when he responded to a story claiming that Cardinal Christophe Pierre was given a 'bitter lecture' at the Pentagon, with references allegedly made to the Avignon Papacy and instructions that the Vatican 'better take its sides

Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colbyis reported to have summoned the cardinal to the Pentagon, having apparently taken issue with the pope's message about peace to the Diplomatic Corps in January

When asked about the story this evening, Vance initially did not recall who the cardinal was before recollecting and stating that he wants to hear the story from Cardinal Pierre and 'quite frankly from our own people'

Pope Leo XIV during Vigil for Peace:

'Saint John Paul II, a tireless witness to peace, spoke movingly in the context of the Iraq crisis in 2003: "I belong to that generation that lived through the Second World War and survived it. I have the duty to say to all young people, to those younger than me, who have not had this experience: 'Never again war!', as Paul VI said in his first visit to the United Nations. We must do everything possible! We know well that peace at any cost is not possible. But we all know how great this responsibility is"

This evening, I make his appeal, so timely, my own'

US President Donald Trump has turned his back on his Catholic voters, lashing out at Pope Leo XIV as he seeks a scapegoat for failure in the Iran War and repeating deranged conspiracy theories that Leo was only elected to counteract the remaining years of the Trump presidency. Tucker Carlson this week referred to Donald Trump as a 'slave' due to his inability to stand up to the war lobbies he previously claimed to oppose. Trump was criticied on many quarters for his indifference to the bombing of schoolgirls in Iran, which many experts claim came from the USA:

"Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon, or a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States.
​I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History.
​Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.
His brother Louis is a great guy, very different, all MAGA! Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church!"

@CatholicArena

US Catholic Bishops President Paul Coakley has responded to Donald Trump's attack on Pope Leo XIV:

“I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls.”

@CatholicArena

Pope Leo XIV has responded to Donald Trump's deranged attack on him:

'I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the church is here to do'

The latest attack by former 'The Apprentice' host Donald Trump on Pope Leo XIV and Giorgia Meloni has managed to unite all political parties in Italy behind the Prime Minister and the pope

Prominent opposition politician Elly Schlein said:

'A very serious thing has happened and I want to express our strongest condemnation, which I am sure will be unanimous, for President Donald Trump's attack on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for having dutifully expressed solidarity with Pope Leo.

And I want to say that Italia is a free and sovereign country and that our Constitution is clear: Italia repudiates war.

No foreign head of state can afford to attack or threaten or disrespect our country and our government'
