39. The forces of darkness have thrown down the gauntlet.

Wed Apr 8, 2026, 06:53 PM

The Satan in the White House and his Demonic Secretary of WAR have threatened the Pope, and all of Catholicism.
The Catholic Church has already taken it's side; the side of Jesus. They have taken the side of spiritual truth and justice; the side of love.

So now we can see Hegseth in his true form as the beast he truly is. The Trump government is evil incarnate.
