Sure, but the Danish prime minister has no responsibility for nuns in far-flung outposts the world over. This is one of those times when it actually does matter that the pope has no troops. I shouldn’t have singled out your post. I’ve read various righties opining that at last, with the pope’s comments, we have the civilizational showdown we’ve been waiting for. That just isn’t a role that the Catholic Church can or should play.
