He's like some kind of deranged reverse catholic?
The Pope is WRONG and THEREFORE the Bible NEEDS to be Law!
-Republicans!
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.
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....
F'n tard doesn't know shit about theology. Bros, couch fuckers for life, bros! Jesus, as worthless pussy, could think about offering a pittance, in US budget terms, to Iran for their enriched Uranium, but couch fucking warriors of God need to wreck US economy to couch fuck!!!! Hell ya!
MAGA has come to the Catholic Church, and we've all seen what happens when MAGA comes to town. If he's smart, the Pope should excommunicate him immediately, and threaten every other MAGA with the same if they don't straighten up.
Vance needs to be careful when fucking the sofa. There are zippers on those cushions.
The Vatican should be taking threat very seriously. He did kill the last Pope
lmao they're going to try a schism but they got no motion mmw
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.
two too many
One of the requirements for being a fascist is being stupid. Vance is no exception to that rule.
That's like lecturing Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking in physics lol
When politicians talk about religion and when the clergy talk about politics, you know things are upside down.
More like Vance should be careful when talking about politics
It is a bit like saying a professor of mathematics with 10+ years of experience in teaching calculus should be careful when talking about calculus.
... from a guy who just heard about calculus for the first time
And the person saying that is supposed to be bound by the First Amendment, crazy
When Vance tells a Pope to be careful, that Pope should be careful. You know, considering Vance's established track record with Popes...
Wait what did I miss
He killed the last one lmao
The day (or the day after, can't remember) he visited the previous pope, the pope died.
Vance had a visit with the last pope at the Vatican, right before he died. At the time, Francis was trying to get him to acknowledge biblical teachings to love your neighbour (and I think that ICE was the antithesis of this), and not the vaguely dystopian stuff Vance was pushing about only only offering respect/kindness/compassion to the people closest to you.
Its quite poetic actually. The popes last action was to make one of the most evil men alive turn away from evil. And then the pope dies the next day.
I mean, ... it's not like he was successful.
He was quite successful with his dying. He did it on the first try, unlike his boss.
Very true, failed to turn Vance away from evil though.
Couch Fucker vs The Word of God. I'm not a religious man, but I know who I'd believe.
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.
Right? I really dislike the catholic church and am an atheist myself, but these morons make the pope look like a reasonable statesman by comparison.
I am with you. I don't believe in what the Pope stands for but also recognize that he is not only the head of state of a foreign government, but the mouthpiece of a significant part of human tradition. This really is like the "fake news" arguments from Trump's first campaign, i.e., "I don't agree with what they say so I will attack them personally."
Theology might just be overly-specific literary study, but I can at least acknowledge when someone is a world-class expert on it.
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?
Fake it till you make it.
JD literally woke up one morning and decided to debate theology with the fucking Vicar of Christ.
INNNNN THIS CORNER, wearing all white and a skull cap, he's the Vicar of Christ, the Bishop of Rome, the SUCCESSOR to the Price of the Apostles, iiiiiiiIIIITS POPE LEO THE FOURTEENTH!!
And in THIS CORNER, wearing a tailored suit and red tie, Couch fucker, white trash cosplayer and world's worst negotiator, John Dilbert Vaaaaaaance!
Pretty sure they would ring him up as the Undefeated Champion, The one, The only, Pope Killing, Couching Fucking Monster Jack Daniels.... (What that's not what it means?)...John Dilbert

Beefing with the pope should definitely have been on my bingo card for this administration, I feel stupid for not seeing it coming now.
Is there context for this quote? I'm not watching a fucking video.
He's basically saying that words have power, especially when coming from people in high positions.
He should take his own words to heart then and shut his fucking mouth.
Fucking onion.
