this is going to accelerate Antipope Viganò
The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:
- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

One question: outside of Vigano, who is going to have the connections or money to be antipope?
The non-zero possibility of a schism resulting in an American Antipope is getting progressively less non-zero.
It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”

This morning, Italian former archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò had this to say about the late Pope Francis, just hours after his death.
A few months back, I wrote about Viganò and the other "trad caths" who were not exactly bereft as Pope Francis was ailing. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
