Seriously, when will the Vatican just kick all the republicans out of their little cult? You want to build a better reputation, you start by distancing yourself from monsters.
If they kicked out republicans and pedophiles, there wouldn't be anyone left to give them money
Imagine being so shit that you’re lectured on morality by a guy who shields pedophiles?
You need to be an ordained catholic priest to get the pope's ''pedopass''. As such, the man with the silly hat is quite irate that Trump is out there diddling kids without the proper credentials.
The church should write a song about how they don’t diddle kids
The Vatican had nothing to gain by having the Pope meet with Vance. Trump wanted the meeting so he could lie about what happened at it.
Trump: "Daaaaaaahhh, so the Pope came up to Mr Vance (with tears in his eyes) and said, "please Mr Vance, could we make Donald Trump a Saint? We're begging you. We're down on our knees, here. We're totally begging you."
Well luckily Vance is a republican, and they have stated more than once that compasion is bad. Elon said empathy makes you weak, and when a Bishop asked Trump to have some, and we were informed thats a sin
So guess its all good.
Their source has a more neutral tone, in case there is someone questioning the truth behind this article: https://apnews.com/article/vatican-vance-pope-migration-a91d0f741cb994faae1e363d38b66c05
Although I believe their neutrality got them banned from white house press events, so maybe they wouldn't consider ap neutral anyway
Extraordinarily based
Fox News coverage of the event:
Love that film. One of my favourites
What film?
Hunt for Red October. Sean Connery as a Russian sub commander!
To be fair, this is most likely because the pope is not well at all. It wasn't even clear if he would be able to give the traditional easter blessing himself, which is significantly higher in the Vatican's priority list than a meeting with the US second in line of succession.
Well, he had met King Charles and Camilla earlier that week, so he is giving audiences - at least to people he respects.
Vatican confirmed it in the souce
The phrase 'pissing into the wind' springs to mind.
That GIF:
I thought that was Gene Hackman pushing the wheelchair for a second lol
Why is his face contracted like the top of an onion? He doesn't look like he wants to be there, or take the whole religion thing seriously. Lol.
