罗马教廷,于全球天主教徒具强大精神统制力。寰宇之内,信徒约一十三亿有奇,美利坚一国即四千八百万之众,皆归教廷统辖。 列国对教廷及教皇,莫不礼遇有加,敬而重之。商人者,堪称奇士,敢为人所不敢为,对现任美籍教皇利奥十四世毫无敬畏之心。二人嫌隙日深,分歧聚焦于数端:移民政策之取向、地缘冲突之立场、社会伦理之坚守、财富分配之原则、国际干预之尺度。双方屡于公开场合相互攻讦,言辞激烈。 近期美以对伊朗动武,教皇斥之:“煽动战争,悖基督精神。”商人反唇相讥,谓教皇“软弱无能,干涉美之内政”。 罗马教廷素无军队,商人终将明白,自身与教皇之真实分量。 The Holy See wields significant spiritual influence over Catholics worldwide. There are approximately 1.31 billion Catholic believers globally, with 48 million in the United States falling directly under the authority of the Vatican. Nations around the world attach great importance to their relations with the Holy See and the Pope, treating them with consistent courtesy. There is a businessman who is truly a remarkable figure, daring to take the lead and challenge what others dare not touch. He shows no respect for the current American-born Pope Leo XIV. Their differences mainly center on immigration policies, geopolitical conflicts, social ethics, wealth distribution, and positions on international intervention. They have publicly criticized each other multiple times. Recently, following the US-Israel military strikes on Iran, the Pope condemned the actions as "inciting war and violating Christian spirit." In response, the businessman retorted, calling the Pope "weak and interfering in US internal affairs." The Holy See has no military forces of its own. It won't be long before the businessman learns his place and recognizes the true stature of both himself and the Pope.
