Have the American Pope and the American administration fallen out?

What caught my attention, was the first few sentences :-

Jesse Romero, a conservative Catholic podcaster, has some choice words for Pope Leo XIV.
"The Pope should tell us how to get to heaven," says Romero. "He has no authority over the government; he has to stay in his lane."
As a Donald Trump supporter, he is angry about criticism made by the American-born Pope and US bishops about his mass deportation policy.


I don't know who this Jesse Romero chap is; but he's obviously quite stupid.
He can't (or won't) understand the, deliberate, logic behind the separation of Church and State.
Furthermore; as a "Donald Trump supporter" surely he would be aghast at the depraved, base, heathen and immoral behaviour of 'his' president?
Or; perhaps, this Jesse Romero chap is just as guilty as everyone else, when he ties himself up in philosophical knots, whilst monetising his 'faith'?
So, again. Who is more at fault?
The idiot?
Or the idiot who listens?

"With the same passion and commitment that made him a three-time World Police Olympics boxing champion, a former U.S.A. middleweight kickboxing champion and a retired veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Jesse shares Catholic teaching with an exciting style that is guaranteed to strengthen, edify and fortify you with a deeper love for God!"

Having read his history, the first image which came to mind was being assaulted in a police cell, whilst being lectured about not going to heaven unless I changed my ways. :sad:
 
I have a very strong aversion to the spectacle of boxing, not least as it glorifies inflicting brain damage on people, but given that Tate already seems to have lost his marbles and morals, I find it harder to object.
I used to think that about boxing, but I've come to regard a lot of elite sport as fundamentally harmful. So it's harder to single out boxing over, for example, rugby where people are disfigured and get brain damage, football where people slowly cripple themselves and get brain damage, or cycling where people race down mountains half naked as dangerously as possible and quite often die.

In my head there's a difference between a sport where the *aim* is to inflict brain damage, and those that maim and kill 'accidentally', albeit predictably.

If you have a degenerative brain disease I'm not sure that matters.

There's an argument that boxing is some way ahead of a lot of other sports when it comes to safety. I'm. Not sure how strong that argument is, but footballers still self assess themselves for concussion together with a physio hired by the same employer, and we've all seen riders who barely know where they are after a crash helped back on a bike by a soigneur.

A milion more documents discovered potentially relating to Epstein.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czdgz84dn35o

Given all of the publicity surrounding the disclosure, you would have thought the Southern DIstrict of New York (which prosecuted Epstein in 2019) and the FBI, (the Director of which appeared before a House committee), would have checked their own records before now.

Hopefully the FBI and the DOJ will maintain their high levels of competency.

Don't worry, having seen it, both idiots spent more time punching thin air. If Tate had a brain the chance of it being damaged in this instance was very slim.
