BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV humiliates warmonger Marco Rubio during their big meeting at the Vatican by surprising him with the PERFECT gift.
You are watching a master at work…
The Holy See’s Press Office put out a statement acknowledging the American Secretary of State’s visit as an effort to foster “sound bilateral relations between the Holy See and the United States.”
“Views were then exchanged regarding situations on the regional and international levels, with particular attention given to countries experiencing war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations as well as the need to work tirelessly for peace,” the statement added.
As expected, the language was diplomatic if perhaps tepid, unsurprising given Leo’s obvious distaste for the Trump administration.
But it was the exchange of gifts during the meeting that raised eyebrows.
Rubio —who claims to be a Catholic despite regularly attending church services at an Evangelical mega-church — gave the Pope a crystal football with the seal of the United States States Department on it.
“Wow. Okay,” said Leo, in the most “I’m not impressed” voice you’ve ever heard.
“So… It uh… What to get someone who has everything?” Rubio mumbled.
We can easily think of a few better gifts: an announcement that administration will be ending its illegal Iran War, a promise that Cuba will not be invaded, or a proclamation that migrants will no longer be brutalized by ICE. Those are things that the Pope would actually appreciate. Instead, Rubio gave him an ugly little trinket.
Leo’s gift was much more pointed. He presented Rubio with an an olive-wood pen, which he explained is “of course, the plant of peace.”
The message was clear. This Pope will never abandon his calls for peace even if Trump escalates his attacks and smears. Leo remains laser-focused on saving lives and putting forth the true teachings of Jesus Christ.
The world will always have monsters like Marco Rubio, men willing to wade through innocent blood to obtain even an ounce of power. We aren’t always blessed with men like Leo though, and we should be grateful to be living at the same time as him.
