Now, if we strip away the context, that’s a pretty biting statement.

Look, there is something fundamentally rotten in that alliance between the official Vatican and the far-right. Both sides swear blood oaths to the homeland, the soil, history, and every other attribute used to define a nation. But following that logic, it seems they are both deeply flawed. In fact, they seem to be constructed from much more volatile material than their political opponents.
