I agree with Nailer: He had to be aware of the implication of "invasion".

And therefore I cannot give him face value.

I'm not sure what "fucking Pope"." means to you, but to me it means he's a Christian.

Nor do I exactly see what you're getting at with "He knew how "invasion" would come across." So, by your logic, what was his purpose in using the word?

Are you actually seeing him as an enemy of Europe at this point, or what?

What's "fucking" have to do with being Christian?

Being invaded is a good thing?

I see him as the Pope.

I know I wasn't asked but to me he is the leader of a giant cult of leaders who don't fuck (in theory) don't marry, believe and practice magic.

Mind blowing the follow a cult like this has.

Speaks volumes to the failed nature of the human species.

The historical connotation: The armed invasion of Europe by Arabs/Muslims...e.g. 8th century invasion of Spain, 16th century Battle of Lepanto.

This Arab/Islam invasion could be "good" for Catholicism. If handled well by the Vatican, it could strengthen/grow the one true church.

I see him as the Pope.
You're in Texas, proud home of Dallas's own titties and Jesus football franchise. NFL invasions have been known to occur.
Now, back to our scheduled programme.
