Pope Ghosts JD Vance at Vatican, Sends Top Cardinal to Lecture VP on Compassion
Pope Ghosts JD Vance at Vatican, Sends Top Cardinal to Lecture VP on Compassion
In February, without naming names, the Pope directly refuted a Catholic concept Vance had twisted to justify deportations. Vance had cited ordo amoris—the “order of love”—to argue that Americans should come first.
Francis responded: “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups.”
Vance, acknowledging the rebuke, called himself a “baby Catholic” and admitted, “there are things about the faith that I don’t know.”
Dude, I'm not Catholic at all and I could have told you that. It's not really complicated to see that Catholic interpretation Jesus would whip you out of the temple.
His boss being a rapist felon that never faces consequences let alone justice. And we're all supposed to turn a blind eye in their world.
Turning a blind eye is the only way conservatism can function.
I'm an apostate and I can say that if you managed to get to the eucharist you should know that when you don't know something about catholic doctrine you're supposed to run it up the msgisterium. That's what they're there for. Priests go to college for this shit and usually can set you right. If they don't know they can ask a bishop. If it's pressing and uncertain the pope may need to make a call. And if a world leader asks it the pope actually might
Even if you aren't big on Catholicism, do we think Jesus would advocate harming migrants to put yourself first? This is the guy who said the widow person donating two coppers is a exemplary person because they gave everything they had. From a Catholic pov, surely the right move would be to help migrants over enriching yourself.
Now that he knows that deportations are against Christian love, will he be against them?
I bet!
No
I don't know what interpretation of Jesus wouldn't whip him out of the temple. It's hard to twist the part about loving your neighbor like yourself into yourself coming first.
He's living that neighbour lovin' by shagging their chaise lounge.
The rest of the world should take this approach. If everyone just plain ignored and ghosts the US’s emissaries it would be pretty funny.
Not just their emissaries. Ghost everyone up to FatBoy Tangerine, and beyond.
If there is ever another voted in president and this new 'leader' is a decent person, not just a tRUMP puppet. Then ghost them as well for allowing that orange turd to walk free after all the treasonous shit he pulled in his first term.
Based and punitive pilled
Is "ghosts" really the most sensitive word for someone who's been on deaths door for a while now?
Not sure if this was a joke, but I sure laughed with it
Holy ghost.
“Ghouls” maybe? That would be a better word for the pope
Is the pope even supposed to mind death?
Get fucked JD you complete and utter douchebag
Get fucked JD you complete and utter douchebag
Love,

I hear the Vatican has some very attractive furniture.
I'll never understand why people shit on him for fictional things when there's plenty of real things to shit on him for.
I honestly think it helps him/MAGA, because it teaches them, their supporters, and impressionable others that people make stuff up about him to criticize, so they can safely ignore criticism of him.
To a fascist, image is everything. Ruin their image for the sad, fucking weirdos that they are makes fascists weak.
I think part of it is about making him into a joke to prevent him from gaining the cult following necessary to be another trump. I don't think trump supporters would care about the valid criticisms, but the idea he has sex with couches is provocative and humorous, and seems to have become one of the only things a lot of people know about him.
Your standards for MAGA cultists is way too high. They won't ever know the difference between fact and lie, and they won't care if they eventually learnt about it. Words and facts means nothing to them, it is all about "winning".
The Catholic Church has never lived down its association with the last Nazis that rose to power, they aren't making that mistake again.
"Fuck those guys." - current Pope.
The catholic church strongly opposed the Nazis. A lot of christians were killed by the Nazis because of this. The pope is more like: like: "Fuck, not those guys again"
I was gonna say, IIRC the Nazis kept trying to hide in ancient cathedrals, because they thought the allies wouldn't bomb them. The Pope at the time told the allies to burn and bomb the Nazis out.
Indeed, read the book, "The Unholy Trinity."
Bullshit article, they met: https://www.vaticannews.va/it/papa/news/2025-04/jd-vance-incontro-papa-francesco-santa-marta-pasqua.html
Not bullshit, he was refused an audience the day before, which is what this article is referring to
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-daily-boulder-bias/
Wasn't this "fact checker" site found to greatly favor zionist propaganda and in fact be horrendously biased itself?
Can we make this site judge what Trump says? Would be so funny.
Yeah, I came here after seing them doing a photo OP and exchanging presents.
Dude all but endorsed Trump, called Harris a baby killer. Fuck him and his nonsense organization.
Of course popes have a wonderful history of supporting authoritarian monsters.
Just look up this pope’s history during the Argentinian coup. This isn’t his first rodeo.
But ya gotta admit Vance deserved it from his perspective and that's saying something
I'm impressed he didn't burst into flames.
Sycophant narcissist 'JD' (born James Donald, changed to James David) decries woke pronouns.
No film at 11.
James Donald Bowman is a miserable twat.
And I will deadname him in every thread that I come across.
Thank you for this delicious piece of information.
Did he change his middle name from Donald to David because he thought Donald was a stupid name?
Did I not read a while back that he lost a fair amount of speech with his recent health troubles?
He could show up and do a few pictures, even from a wheelchair. This was a deliberate slap in the face.
He met up with King Charles a couple days prior, so he's doing fine. It's a clear middle finger to this douche clown.
The Pope or Vance?
🤞
My opinion of the Pope just went up.
Don't be fooled, he's still a huckster shithead. Always happy to see them turning on each other though.
A huckster shithead who runs cover for child rapists every single day.
Don't get me wrong, my opinion is still negative just slightly less negative than yesterday.
"they didnt tell me how wonderful the vaticans taste in furniture was.....mmm..mmm..mmmm..."
Lol. You're only allowed to be that bad of a catholic if you were born one or at least have been one for a decade or two. Recent converts realizing catholicism isn't the aesthetic is funny
I hate the Vatican but that's a total mob boss move.
Kudos to the Pope Francis and fuck Just Dumb. I would have sent the Swiss Guard and tossed his Russian supporting ass out of the Vatican.
Excommunicate him
Biden and several other politicians have been denied communion for not being anti abortion.
Vance’s Catholicism is the kind of loser tradcath shit an atheist kid from 4chan converts to for the aesthetic and misogyny anyway.
Ex
💪
communicate
🙄
we all know the pope is a radical left lunatic activist pope. he should be impeached, and joe rogan should be the new pope. /s
Oh no, Vance got Vance'd... Lucky it wasn't televised for the whole world to see.
Anyways, can't wait for the snarky tantrum and projection condemning the Pope once he's far away.
Bet the poor Pope couldn't even attend because in addition to his health issues he must have felt the evil pressure oozing from Vance.
What kind of AI soft focus HDR Parks and Rec adjacent slop is this?
Oh no, Vance got Vance’d… Lucky it wasn’t televise'd
Fix'd it for you
oh no, now I'm gonna get downvote'd
years ago, i came across the phrase "resting removed face" online somewhere. i don't know in what context i read it or where, but i do remember being utterly confused by the concept. like, what even is that phrase supposed to mean?!
and that consternation had only deepened and strengthened right up to the recent past when photos of jd vance began to surface. now it's 100% clear what the author of that long-forgotten post must have meant when they typed out those three little words.
That is not really what that phrase means though. That phrase refers to people whose neutral facial expression makes them look like someone unfriendly when the person behind it is not. In Vance's case this is not true, his inside is just as ugly as his outside.
Yep the resting face is not a good judge of character, the active one is much more telling, and in Vance's case it's "self-righteousness without contentedness to back it up". You can't be discontent with yourself and at the same time think yourself to be the pinnacle of insight, at least not without a hefty dose of neurosis, that is.

I have at least one friend who says she has RBF. I beleive actress January Jones has said it, too.
Should have sprayed him with holy water, just in case.
This infringes on my trademark character "Ghost Pope". Image

Got you
Doesn't load for me.

what service is the Confederates versus Catholic Church war going to be streamed on, and will I have to pay per episode or just for the series subscription?
Vance barely made a peep in public when p47 was inaugarated only made noise as directed by thiel, when trump/doge was facing alot of backlash for the firings and tariffs to distract the public.
the pope is a ghost. a chubby one. doesnt sound too good when he talks...like ghost noises. religion is weird.
I want to see JD Vanker of US meet (brother Wang) Wang ker Yi of China.
I want to see him meet Stockton Rush.
Kek
They look angelic compared to democratically elected americans /shrug
???
Well, they show a lot of compassion and support for all those accused priests.
I don't get the downvotes. My neighbours kid was abused while they had to deal with a psychotic other kid. The perpetrator, a catholic brothe, knew that and exploited the situation. They tried to cover up and denied everything. And that is only one reason to hate them. It was and is endemic. Greetings from catholic south Germany.
I'm just over here annoyed at people calling the Pope's continuing ability to live a 'miracle' when he's spent the last month in a hospital keeping his ass animated with advanced medical science that his church probably condemns every Sunday.
You'd be surprised
The Catholic Church actually accepts the reality of evolution and has its own telescope called Lucifer.
They also recently updated their stance on "gender ideology" to no longer be critical of transpeople, citing genuine medical need for transition.
Yeah, I don't think that's what ghosting is. He just skipped the meeting. Ghosting would be not sending anyone.
He holy ghosted?
He was given the Holy Ghost treatment. He stayed at the Holy Ghost suite.
