the irony of them saying “forward” with a graphic showing nearly every single arrow facing backwards is not lost on me

Wisconsin, the momentum is real. What was the most exciting race we won in your community?

The Avignon Papacy reference is the detail that demands attention. An American defense official invoked a 14th-century episode in which the French Crown physically relocated the papacy to Avignon and controlled it for 67 years - as an implicit model for what happens to religious institutions that oppose state power.
That's not a slip of the tongue. That's a studied historical reference deployed deliberately in a room with the Pope's senior diplomat. The message was not subtle.
Leo heard it. He spent Holy Week delivering what papal scholars described as a sustained theological argument about the nature of power and imperial violence. On Palm Sunday he said Jesus rejects the prayers of those who wage war. On Easter Sunday - the same morning Trump posted his expletive-filled threat on Truth Social - Leo told world leaders to lay down weapons. On Tuesday he called the civilization threat "truly unacceptable" and asked citizens directly to contact their elected representatives.
The White House's response to the Pope's Tuesday statement: "The Iranian people welcome the sound of bombs because it means their oppressors are losing."
The first American pope will spend America's 250th birthday on Lampedusa with migrants. One Vatican official told The Free Press: "The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration."
The Pentagon summoned a cardinal and invoked the Avignon Papacy. The Pope responded by asking 1.4 billion Catholics to call their congressmen.

@IsthmusPol "I don't get it. How did Chris Taylor defeat Lazar by 20%?"

“Wow, why did Lazar get crushed with women voters?”

@IsthmusPol All because women are stupid and actually believe the state supreme court has any say over the issue of abortion. Giving women the vote was a HUGE mistake.

Milk had sex with a vulnerable 16-year-old boy when "Milk" was 33 — that's a documented fact from sympathetic sources, not an invention. By any definition of the words, he's a pedophile-homosexual and in all areas of common sense, disqualifies "Harvey Milk" from any military honors.
It's more than reasonable to find that he's removed from any 'honors', especially naming a U.S. Navy ship after him, especially when military vessels traditionally honor combat heroes without this kind of criminal personal baggage.
Pete Hegseth seems to "bend over" a bit too much for my liking.

@MikeNellis All to announce to the world that you let other guys shove their cranks up your azzz... nice going

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side.
They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will.
So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican?
