The old pope died of cringe when he met Vance so I'd consider this a threat.
Oh yes, world renowned theologian James David Vance foremost expert on theol...wait theology is when you fuck couches right?
i thought his name was jance dance vance
What's wrong Jance Dance? You barely janked the jouch?
from now on, it is 🤣
*Bowman.
Did they forget to give him the brochure when he converted to Catholicism?
I've killed a pope before and I'll do it again! - J.D 'Couch Fucker' Vance
yikes. Said by a converted catholic.
Right! Get a hold of the new guy, here! 🤣
Isn't the Pope supposed to be the guy for Catholics, appointed to directly hear God's voice on Earth, and spread it to the masses? And if that's the case, aren't all these faux-Christians disagreeing with him - like Vance - disagreeing with the very God they purport to worship?
Catholics can disagree with the pope on secular matters, the problem here is that the pope is quoting the catechism almost verbatim, and convert-boy is throwing a tantrum because he joined the church based on aesthetics and not any kind of conviction.
A bunch of Protestants think the Pope is the Antichrist, but apparently Vance identifies as Catholic, so yeah, he's defying God. Catholic doctrine also holds that the Pope is infallible when ruling on theology.
That's not how being Pope works. I know this, and I'm not even Catholic.
I still find it so fucking funny that this nimrod was the best candidate trumps campaign could find.
Sounds like a threat.
Can't forget that Vance killed the last pope 🤷♂️
Nice pope you have there, would be a shame if he received a visit from US VP.
I believe, as does the Death of the Discworld, that after death, everyone is getting exactly what they think they deserve. The Hindus get reincarnated. The Hellenists go to Hades. The Nazi Pagans are going to Valhalla, if they die while shooting up a school. And Donald J Trump is going to be tortured forever in Hell. He said so on TV.
It's be pretty funny if ol' James got excommunicated. Do it, Pope!
I think it's fair to say that he's just plain stupid. Wealthy, entitled ass kisser with no brain.
To be fair, declaring war on the pope is a time honoured Christian tradition.
The Vatican should be taking threat very seriously. He did kill the last Pope
If you're not a Catholic, you might not understand how fucked up it is for Vance to stand there and call the Pope wrong about theology.
By definition, the Pope is right about religion. If he changes his mind tomorrow, he was right then and he is right now.
The equivalent would be if I became a Buddhist and then told the current Dalai Lama he was doing it wrong. Or maybe if I became a Hindu and then insisted that, actually, cheeseburgers are fuckin' awesome.
No joke, Vance is like two more dumbass statements away from being excommunicated.
Arguably, there would be decent historic precedent for excommunicating Vance RIGHT NOW.
Let's play along with the religious fantasy:
Paris liberation: Invaders: 3rd Reich Liberators: Russia, UK, yanks
Tehran bombing: Invaders: yanks Liberators: A school full of little girls
Sounds like the pope has a theology point there...
Jelly Donut Vance, the master of reverse reasoning.
"Whatever makes sense"
the balls on this couch-fucker... He needs to watch his mouth.
Of the 50 people in that audience, half were shocked by what he said. The other half were trying to remember the lyrics to the Baby Shark song.
At least this time he warned the pope unlike the previous one.
Does Joanne Delores Vance not know who the Pope is?
Be careful indeed!
So keen to see what the pope does this week. TBH never been so invested in the pope or his beefs.
The amount of crazy interactions I have slight obsessions over has increased lately. In the last week Iran being bombed, the Hungarian election and now I have a ton of questions on the military tactics of invading the Vatican City. I wonder if there’s secret oil under it…or maybe some attractive Venetian sofas.
The utter fucking nerve of these assholes.
I'm not even a christian anymore, Catholic or otherwise. In fact I've long since gone full on athiest.
But even I'M offended by this new level of horseshit by the Trump clown-show.
When Vance tells a Pope to be careful, that Pope should be careful. You know, considering Vance's established track record with Popes...
Look, they already decided they knew science better than scientists, they knew war better than military generals, they knew economy better than economists.
Why did aynone think they would stop at theology?
JD literally woke up one morning and decided to debate theology with the fucking Vicar of Christ.
Was surprised to see that’s the actual headline
as a catholic, vance should probably be careful talking shit about the pope.
you know, the literal hand of god on earth, the holy see, the Supreme Pontiff, the very man who could order Vance's excommunication after a thorough auto de fe?
he's so fucking dumb, join a worldwide club then whine piss and moan about it's leader....
Antichrist and Friends just doing Antichrist things :)
Look. I'm an apatheist. I don't really care. It's one kind of BS or another to me.
But on one hand, you have a someone who has decades of experience and study in the traditions, text, and history of their religion, and on the other hand, you have an asshole who fucked a couch and is a useful puppet for Peter Thiel and a bunch of other billionaire sociopath fucksticks.
Pretty easy to figure out who I'd respectfully disagree with and who I'd just call a goddamned idiot.
Be careful or it’s ring-a-ding for ol’ popey boy, capiche?
