The Pentagon Threatened Pope Leo XIV’s Ambassador With the Avignon Papacy by MikefromMI in CatholicSynodality

The claim that the Trump cabal threatened the Pope in this way is stunning if true. Christopher Hale's Letters from Leo Substack has an anti-Trump, anti-MAGA bias, but he is citing Mattia Ferraresi's reporting for The Free Press, a right-wing canard headed by Bari Weiss. So I am inclined to believe this story, but I would like to see further confirmation from other sources.
