“… The Vatican and government statements portray the encounter as far more mild than some news coverage and social media chatter since news of the meeting was first reported this week by the Free Press. That story framed the meeting as Pierre having been “summoned” by Elbridge Colby, a Catholic serving as Defense Department undersecretary for war policy.

… Critics of the Trump administration latched on to a claim in the story that a U.S. official in the meeting “went so far as to invoke the Avignon Papacy,” the era in the 1300s when the French crown used military power to dominate the papal authority. Tweets condemning U.S. officials have been shared by the thousands, with Trump detractors pointing to the report of the meeting as evidence of a red line crossed by the administration.

On Wednesday, when Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic who is close with Colby, was asked by The Washington Post for his opinion, he said he had not seen the reporting about the meeting.

… Brian Burch, the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, released a statement Thursday after speaking with Pierre. He said the Cardinal called aspects of the story “fabrications,” including the “threat of Avignon.” Burch said Pierre described the meeting as “frank and cordial.” The Apostolic Nunciature had no additional response to Burch’s statement. Pierre did not respond to a request for comment.

On Friday morning, as international attention to the issue spread, the Vatican issued a statement:

“As confirmed by His Eminence Christophe Pierre, former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, his meeting with Mr. Elbridge Andrew Colby was part of the Papal Representative’s regular mission and provided the opportunity for an exchange of views on matters of mutual interest. The narrative offered by some media outlets about this meeting is completely untrue.”

Alright @Ramrouser here’s your shot! Spin this horridly blasphemous sacrilegious behavior by your orange messiah. Make it really really good!

His pathway to Heaven is unaffected by the politicians he supports. It's a very convenient scapegoat that apparently allows all sorts of horrible traits and behaviors to be subcontracted in order to keep one's soul clean.
