How many Catholics have been publicly reprimanded by two different popes?

I gotta think that’s a really exclusive group of people.

Wait what?!? Is Pope Bob the guy Francis sent off to school Vance?!
If so, I'm all in on Pope Bob!

That last two who thought queers were sick? That's great. You guys have fun with your hateful church leader.

Well, every time there were three popes, I imagine at least three people joined the club...

Henry IV (of the HRE, not England) was excommunicated by 2 different popes, but it is indeed an exclusive group

Vance walking barefoot to I dunno Toledo or something

If he keeps getting publicly shamed, J.D. Vance might finally become a real Catholic boy.

Probably need to break this down by regular Catholics and adult convert Catholics.

And JD’s been a Catholic for less than 6 years. Speedrunning papal opprobrium.

Mostly people from the era when there were two popes I'd guess.

Martin Luther must hold the record in this category, with like 4 popes publicly reprimanding him in his lifetime.

Quite a few, but most of them were known for sitting on thrones rather than lying on couches.

That’s 100% of the popes since he became Catholic!

How likely are US news outlets to manage to desist from treating JD Vance as a more authoritative interpreter of Catholic doctrine than 2 popes?

Stay tuned

Vance has Napoleon beat by +1 popes

lawnguyland.bsky.social•3 days ago

oh wait, Napoleon wasn't Catholic though, nevermind...

radgen.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes he was.

I mean, depending on the audience he'd sometimes pretend to be Catholic, but generally speaking a true person of the Catholic faith would not have the Pope arrested and exiled from Rome (that got him excommunicated, which would happen to either of us if we kidnapped a Pope 🤷‍♂️)

Buddy you should look deeper into church history if you think that. Very adversarial conflicts between Popes and secular Catholic leaders were common. Anti-Popes, papal coups etc all happened and those participating considered themselves Catholic. Now Napoleon was very much anti-clerical however.
