Summary
Pope Francis skipped the Vaticanās official meeting with J.D. Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement.
The statement said there was āan exchange of opinions on the international situationā¦ with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.ā
Pope Francis has repeatedly rebuked the presidentās mass deportation effort, calling it a ādisgraceā and a āgrave sin.ā
The Pope corrected a Catholic concept Vance had invoked to defend the administrationās deportations, ordo amoris (order of love). In a February letter, Francis pointedly explained, āChristian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups.ā
Religion is a joke.
The idea that jd Vance respects religion is laughable.
He treats religion like anyone else. Discards when convenient.
Uses it as a club to punish people HE doesnāt like.
The pope should do something drastic like order his totally existing ādevoutā catholic folllowers to rise up against fascism.
Because thatās what Catholics did in ww2 right?
And Catholics listen to the pope right?
Itās not all lip service as an excuse to persecute minorities right?
The Vaticanās top brass during WWII
Iām sure a historian will chime in, but I seem to remember there was quite a lag before the Church spoke up against what was going on in WW II. Maybe you were saying that sarcastically? And I honestly donāt recall without looking it up.
There was some lag, but they came out in support of the nazi and fascist movements initially. Specifically the pope supported Mussolini for the first few years and he would not have achieved nearly the level of success he did with fascism had it not been for the churches support.
