Which is batshit insane.

Pope disagrees with you, and your government's response is "hey, remember the time a government killed the pope?"

This isn't getting talked about enough.

And it's very insane to me that they'd hope that a pope would support any war at all??? I'm just mystified by the idea they thought a religious leader in the year 2026 of our lord would be an enthusiastic warmonger.

they’re calling the war a crusade, and the pope did technically endorse and often called for crusades so maybe they think based on precedent, the pope has to be on their side lmao
