During the discussion, the small group of #Pentagon & #Vatican officials discussed their differing views of current events, according to people on both sides with knowledge of the conversation. What is less clear is how adversarial the meeting was.

One senior #Vatican official familiar with internal assessments of the meeting called it “unusual” & not “a walk in the park.” It was “a frank & direct dialogue on issues where the distance between the Vatican & the #US is evident & clear,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal assessments.

Perhaps Cardinal Pierre should invite Pentagon officials to church. -

@Nonilex The Vatican is signaling that its private diplomatic stance may significantly diverge from the public posture of some U.S. political figures, particularly on issues of war and national security.
