There is a long history of warfare against democracy. And now that JD Vance has changed sides and he's on the side of Vladimir Putin, it's strange that he would continue to call himself a Catholic.
I expected a more sophisticated explkanation as to the fall of the USSR than a perpetuation of a rightwing childish myth that three world leaders beat their chests and the walls came a-tumblin' down. Be a grown up and tell the truth. It is much more devistating to the communist ideal than some simple-minded strong man theory (which I believe is destructive to our side).
I believe you're absolutely right regarding the late John Paul 2, a man who I have great respect for, and, though not Catholic, he was Pope for the first 17 years of my life.
Let's remember that Biden started the war with his cowardly and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan and did nothing for three years while 1 million casualties accumulated. Trump and Vance are trying to end the war which is always a step in the right direction.
Superb editorial Franky ....
I wish the Pope would speak out against him now. Excommunication would be fine with me!
I am a lapsed Catholic, Frank, but I do appreciate your tribute to Pope John Paul II and his role in bringing down the Soviet empire.
As always, thank you
Sir don't speak for us Catholics. We don't want WW3. And there are plenty of Catholic leadership who agrees with Vance
