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?

I’ll do it.
Immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid. The only time an immigrant receives any sort of coverage is if they have a medical emergency - like a heart attack.
Because of our EMTALA law, anyone presenting to an emergency must be treated, regardless of insurance coverage.
When people who do not have insurance go to the hospital for an emergency, the hospital social services will assist them in applying for temporary Medicaid so the treatment will be covered.
This doesn’t necessarily help the patient - they weren’t going to pay anyway. Who it benefits is the HOSPITAL.
If you take away federal Medicaid payments from hospitals who provide emergency treatment to immigrants, you are forcing those hospitals to provide the treatment for free.
This will cause hospitals all over the country to close, especially in rural areas where they are already struggling.
You want hospitals to close? Keep voting for Republicans.
Done.
@NickGunterWX Will I be able to watch WSFA News/Weather on Fox 20 WCOV? We live in Auburn but my local stations are out of Columbus with the exception of WCOV.
Auburn just beat Vermont --- a program that has won at least a share of the last eight America East regular season titles --- by 51 points.
Next up for the Tigers?
Houston on Saturday.
Elite Eight caliber game.
🧵| Shug Jordan in #DDay
When 156,000 Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago today, James Ralph "Shug" Jordan was one of them.
In fact, Shug was one of the few people to know the secret details of the landings before June 6, 1944. (1/8)
