Relations between the U.S. and the Catholic Church have not been the same since January, when senior U.S. defense officials shared an abrasive message with a Vatican official.

Days after Pope Leo XIV delivered his State of the World speech, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican’s U.S. representative, to a closed-door Pentagon meeting for a bitter lecture.

“The United States,” Colby said, according to a blistering new report by The Free Press, “has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

    It’s funny:

    The end-times prophecies are clear-as-day, now, & they WHO ARE WALKING INTO IT are ignoring the consequences??

    Here’s the 1st-Seal thing, with the Time of Conquering, & the Conqueror ( Trump’s ONLY addiction )

    & here’s the prophecy about Trump’s “mortal head wound” & pending “miracle cure”…

    The funny part?

    IF their 2nd Coming appears … he’d be war-incarnate against them ( the guy-on-white-horse-with-double-edged-blade-of-Cutting-True-Speech-projecting-from-his-mouth ), fighting “the beast”, which they hold to be “lord”…

    they don’t even know their own prophecies.

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19%3A11-15&version=CJB

    THAT guy would be the LAST thing those abomination-loyal ones would want to see coming into our world!

    ( caveat: John of Patmos was filtering everything through his unconscious-mind, so the distortions are … kinda rampant. Jung & I both experienced the same kind of distortions, in our VISION-dreams. I’ve no idea if that King of Kings guy is 1st-Seal, aka The Great Filter’s 1st Yang Stage, XOR if it’s later in humankind’s “cell-division”, splitting between the murder-life-for-authority’s-lordhood kind & the LivingSpirit-loyal kind, the WAR stage, which should begin in 7-ish years, after the Regional Consolidation Time is finished, or if it’s in the 3rd stage, the no-food-chain-left stage, where people are living off of greenhouses like Silent Running ( movie ) had, but on Earth…

    The fundamental point, though, is that anybody doing what Hegseth’s doing, to bring the 2nd Coming … pouring “blood and destruction” into the world … is warring against that guy in the 3rd biblical-reference, above. )

    Interesting Times!

    PS: I’m calling this pope Good Pope Leo, because from what I can see, he is: & I’m not Catholic.

    PPS: I just read the beginning of that chapter, & it looks-like that’s the stuff for the 2070’s, NOT for this end of “the tribulation”/“armageddon”/The Great Filter, so … no point in getting our hopes up.
