More and more, Pompeo seems to be the guy to watch.
For real.
When is a Pope not a Pope?
The Pope didn’t want Pompeo telling him to his face that he was wrong to sell out to China.
I think the pope won’t meet with Pompeo because he doesn’t want to do anything that he thinks might help Trump. No doubt he would love to tell US Catholics in so many words not to vote for Trump, but probably the American bishops have warned him that would backfire.
Then pull the Ambassador. Before the 80s they never had an ambassador. It was a cold war reward to John Paul II because he was a solid ally against the USSR. Today it’s silly to send a diplomatic ambassador to the headquarters of a church. It’s not a nation in any normal sense so they should show some gratitude for us doing so.
