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?

BREAKING 🇮🇱 🇻🇦
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that he has instructed authorities to give Cardinal Pizzaballa 'full and immediate access' to the Holy Sepulchre for Holy Week
Netanyahu wrote on social media:
'I have instructed the relevant authorities that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
Over the past several days, Iran has repeatedly targeted the holy sites of all three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles. In one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
To protect worshippers, Israel asked members of all faiths to temporarily abstain from worshipping at the Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City.
Today, out of special concern for his safety, Cardinal Pizzaballa was asked to refrain from holding mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Even though I understand this concern, as soon as I learned about the incident with Cardinal Pizzaballa, I instructed the authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes'
You won't see this on News!!
"Israel is not our nation-state!.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict should not be associated with American Jews.
We are united against Zionism because we are Jews!
Zionism is the ANTITHESIS of Judaism!."

Exorcist Fr. Ripperger: "The big mistake that people make is still thinking the Jews are the chosen people, they were, but they rejected their inheritance. They refused to accept Christ."

"The temple will never be rebuilt. Julian the Apostate tried to rebuild it and it was destroyed in the process. Christ put an end to the Jewish sacrifice on purpose — he gave them one generation to convert to Christianity, and when they didn't, he put an end to their sacrifice. There hasn't been practicing Jews in 2,000 years because the temple hasn't been around."
You don't have to be part of the crowd or zeitgeist to believe this WAR is stupid. Why did we get into this war? Millenials and Gen Z have heard this since birth, Ayatollah this and that.Why do we support Zionism/Israel to our detriment? Focus on Home.

"I'm a Catholic, and Catholics do not embrace Zionism, just so you know. So are all Catholics anti-Semites according to you?"
Incredible exchange today between Carrie Prejean Boller and a group of Jewish Zionists at the White House's Religious Liberty Commission.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had to step in and interrupt her for daring to take the hearing seriously and using it as an opportunity to push back against the incredibly broad, anti-free speech IHRA definition of "anti-Semitism."
NEW EPISODE: Very Mimetic Christmas Special 2025 Panel Discussion (THINGS HIDDEN 227)
I'm joined by Jean-Michel Oughourlian, @JasonJonesVPP, @JpfEpi, and @ShaBraswell for a special Christmas episode of THINGS HIDDEN. What is the cause of wars in human history? Is peace possible in the Middle-East? Did Trump just call Bill Clinton an aggrieved victim? What is the anthropological significance of Christmas that we're missing?
