Pope Leo Recieves Trump Death Threat

April 12th, 2026 - by The Critic Brief
(April 9, 2026) — The most powerful religious leader on Earth — an AMERICAN — is standing up to Donald Trump, and the Trump regime responded by allegedly threatening the Vatican with military force. This is not a drill. This is happening right now, and the mainstream media is barely covering it.
In this episode, we break down the explosive report that Pentagon officials, including Under Secretary Elbridge Colby, summoned the Vatican’s top diplomat — not to the State Department, but directly to the Pentagon — and invoked the Avignon papacy, a historical period when the French crown kidnapped and KILLED a sitting pope.
We unpack why Pope Leo XIV chose to spend America’s 250th birthday on the migrant island of Lampedusa, what his social media posts REALLY mean, and why the entire Catholic Church in the United States is now unifying against MAGA authoritarianism.
