A Monday report from The Free Press detailed unprecedented tensions and  a growing rocky relationship between President Donald Trump’s White House and Pope Leo XIV, the Holy See’s first U.S.-born Pope, who will now  unlikely visit the U.S during Trump’s presidency. According to the report in question, the Pentagon, aka  “Department of War,” invited the Holy See ambassador to the U.S., Cardinal Christophe Pierre, back in January, for an extremely tense meeting in response to a speech Pope Leo made on the “state of the world” on January 9, 2026, at the Vatican Apostolic Palace. In his annual address to the diplomatic corps accredited to the Holy See, he stated, “A diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force, by either individuals or groups of allies.”

According to both Vatican and U.S. officials briefed on the Pentagon meeting, the pontiff’s January speech was interpreted as a hostile message directed at Trump’s policies. What particularly enraged the Pentagon, one Vatican official said, was the passage in which Leo appeared to challenge the Donroe Doctrine, Trump’s update of the Monroe Doctrine, which asserts unchallenged American dominion over the Western Hemisphere. But what really upset the Vatican official was when, at one point in the tense meeting, the report claims, one U.S. official mentioned the Avignon Papacy of the 14th century. 

The Avignon Papacy might not be known by non-Catholics and even new Catholics like Vance, but it was one of the worst periods for the Catholic Church and the Holy See. From 1309 to 1376, seven successive popes resided in Avignon (at the time within the Kingdom of Arles, part of the Holy Roman Empire, now part of France) rather than in Rome. Can you imagine Pope Leo moving the Vatican to Washington DC? Well, that’s what the mention of the Avignon Papacy by a U.S. official to Cardinal Christophe Pierre directly implies. When Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic, was confronted yesterday (Wednesday) about the report that the Pentagon threatened the Vatican with military force. Vance began by stating he didn’t know who Pierre was. However, when Vance was informed that Pierre was the former Holy See ambassador, he suddenly appeared to find his lost memory. “Oh, OK, OK, I’ve met him before,” Vance stated in what seemed an embarrassing moment. “Sorry, I just didn’t remember the name,” claiming that he had “never seen this reporting.”  He added shortly afterwards diplomatically, “I’d like to talk to Cardinal Christophe Pierre, and frankly, to our people, to figure out what actually happened. I think it’s always a bad idea to offer an opinion on stories that are unconfirmed and uncorroborated, so I’m not going to do that.” 

As tensions and embarrassment are growing in the Trump administration for this unprecedented attack towards a pope during which an American official brought up the Avignone Papacy often termed the “Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy,” a moment widely regarded as a low point for the church when the Papacy was forced to become a puppet of the French crown,  a Pentagon spokesperson claimed earlier today that the meeting held with the Vatican’s U.S. ambassador in January was “respectful.”[1]

So, no vague threats of military action to arrest or bring down the Vatican if the church didn’t support U.S. efforts, but Pope Leo has been increasingly at odds with President Donald Trump’s administration for nearly a year now. Since the beginning of his papacy, Pope Leo has followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, Pope Francis, repeatedly expressing support for immigrants and criticizing the way they’ve been vilified across the globe. 

Now, that’s something I warned would happen regarding Bergoglio’s successor in Confessions of an Illuminati Volume 12, but in recent weeks, Pope Leo has also strongly condemned the war in Iran while taking several indirect shots at the Trump administration for its role in the conflict.  

And while diplomatic relations between the pope and President Trump have reached a critical breaking point where the world seems to be pushed to embrace the lesser of  these two evils, and the highly stressed Gen Z is carrying around “anxiety bags” with tools to calm their nerves, neither the Trump-Epstein Sabbatian Frankists White House, or the Jesuit-controlled Vatican seem to be the real solution, as their actions are both in support of the infamous and upcoming Great Reset I’ve discussed in great detail in Confessions of an Illuminati Volume 7.

In the meantime, while First lady Melania Trump is trying to shoot down rumors about a connection between her and “the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein” during a White House address earlier today,[2] the ever so unhinged and unbalanced President Trump just stated on Truth Social, the U.S. military is “loading up and resting, looking forward, actually, to its next conquest,” the 72nd Bilderberg Meeting is coming to town as it will take place this year from today to April 12th, 2026, in Washington, D.C., USA.
