    “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.”

    One U.S. official present at the meeting brought up the Avignon papacy, a period in the 14th century in which the French monarchy bent the Catholic Church into submission, ordering an attack on Pope Boniface VIII that led to his downfall and subsequent death and forcing the papacy to relocate from Rome to Avignon, a region inside France.

    Wow. These people are fucking insane.

    The source for the original report (The Free Press) seems questionable, per Wikipedia’s own discussion on it:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_433#Is_this_article_about_a_Communist_millionaire_from_The_Free_Press_reliable?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_397#The_Free_Press

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_425#The_Free_Press_and_Amin_Husain


    Also, please try to at least link the original article in the description: https://www.thefp.com/p/why-the-vatican-and-the-white-house

      Hello, I just noted you cited Wikipedia’s dicussions, please try to use a source that’s outside the control of three letter agencies from a decadent bourgeois dictatorship and the West in general, since media there is bought by the capitalist class and produces pieces that only benefit their narrative. Thank you!

      I might fact check this in a few days if someone else doesn’t beat me to it, but this is hilarious:

        Hey man hopefully this isn’t uncouth but I apparently got banned on that concent sub , I don’t disagree with you but maybe I was wrong to assume the person quoted was talking about thier son who was an adult but ya that “whole military aged male” thing is a horrific trick
