The Holy Smackdown: Tom Homan vs. The Articulate Pope
A Week-Long War of Words Escalates into a WWE-Style Verbal Cage Match
In a recent exchange, former ICE Director Tom Homan responded to Pope Francis’s criticism of mass deportations, labeling them as a “disgrace.” Homan, known for his firm stance on immigration enforcement, defended the practice, emphasizing the importance of upholding U.S. immigration laws. He argued that enforcing these laws is essential for national security and the integrity of the country’s legal system.
The Pope Throws the First Punch
Pope Francis has consistently advocated for the humane treatment of migrants and refugees, urging nations to show compassion and solidarity. His recent comments highlight the moral and ethical concerns surrounding large-scale deportations, calling for policies that prioritize human dignity and the protection of vulnerable populations.
“Jesus fed the masses—he didn’t demand the Romans give them free healthcare, housing, and a stimulus check.” — Tom Homan
This exchange underscores the ongoing debate between strict immigration enforcement and humanitarian considerations, reflecting broader discussions about how nations should manage borders while honoring ethical responsibilities to those seeking refuge.
Pope Francis might believe in an open border utopia, but Tom Homan knows that letting the world pour in without rules is neither biblical nor practical. And if the Pope keeps pushing his Marxist migration policies, maybe it’s time someone reminded him that even the Vatican has limits—right past those giant stone walls. — Katy Room
The Vatican’s walls, checkpoints, and security personnel make it one of the safest locations on the planet, despite its small size. Advanced surveillance, restricted access points, and highly trained security forces ensure the protection of both the Pope and the treasures of the Holy See. While the Vatican promotes global humanitarianism, its own borders remain heavily guarded, a paradox that has sparked debate over the years.
Monday: The Pope Throws the First Punch
It started like any regular Monday—until Pope Francis decided to call mass deportations a “disgrace,” lighting the fuse on a holy war of words. The Pope, in his divine wisdom, labeled the enforcement of immigration laws as “shameful, humiliating, scandalous,” and just for extra emphasis, added a few more zingers: “dishonor, infamy, disrepute, stigma, discredit, ignominy, notoriety, embarrassment, and disdain.” That’s right, the Pope dropped the entire Thesaurus of Condemnation on Tom Homan and his “draconian” immigration enforcement policies.
Homan, never one to back down from a fight, laced up his rhetorical boots. His first shot? A reminder that the Pope himself is living behind the biggest fortress in Europe.
“Your Holiness, I’d take your advice on border security if I wasn’t staring at the giant stone fortress you live in. You’ve got a wall, a security force, and a guy named Cardinal Guido checking passports at the door—but sure, let’s throw our borders open.”
“Funny how the Pope wants America to have open borders, but the Vatican’s got a wall higher than my patience for this nonsense.”
Game on.
Tuesday: The Vatican Fires Back
After the verbal body slam on Monday, Pope Francis took to Vatican Radio to intensify his holy smackdown. He doubled down on calling deportations “cruel,” labeling Homan’s border enforcement as an act of “inhumanity,” and—perhaps inspired by professional wrestling—referred to Homan and Trump as “the tag team of disgrace.”
Homan, showing all the restraint of a man ready to chokeslam the Pope’s logic, fired back:
“Pope Francis preaches Marxism like it’s the Gospel, but last I checked, the only thing Jesus redistributed was loaves and fishes—not everyone’s tax dollars to people who snuck in the back door.”
“If the Pope thinks deportation is a sin, does that mean Border Patrol agents need confession or just a raise?”
Wednesday: Homan Piles on the Papal Hypocrisy
Homan was just warming up. By midweek, he had the Pope in a verbal headlock.
“This is a guy who calls deportation a ‘disgrace’ but blesses politicians who let fentanyl flow across the border like it’s holy water.”
Meanwhile, in St. Peter’s Square, a group of migrant activists held a prayer vigil for “the victims of U.S. border policies.” However, it was quickly noted that the Vatican itself had accepted exactly zero of these migrants into its own walled compound.
Homan pounced:
“The Vatican is about the size of a Walmart parking lot, and somehow, they’ve managed to take in exactly zero illegal immigrants. But America? We should take 10 million a year? Maybe they should start a ‘Sanctuary Sistine Chapel’ first.”
“The Vatican has Swiss Guards, snipers, and checkpoints, but I’m the bad guy for saying America needs a secure border?”
Thursday: The Pope Tries for Divine Intervention
The Pope, now fully leaning into his role as the heel in this wrestling feud, prayed for Homan’s “hardened heart” to soften. The Vatican released a statement calling for compassion and dignity for all migrants, while subtly throwing shade at Homan’s “lack of humanity.”
Homan, unmoved, responded:
“I respect the Pope’s faith, but when it comes to border security, I trust a solid border fence more than a prayer and a sermon.”
Friday: The Holy Steel Cage Match Intensifies
By Friday, things had escalated into a full-blown WWE-style promo battle. The Pope, standing on his Vatican balcony like a villain in a soap opera, denounced nationalism as “a threat to human dignity.” Homan, not one to tap out, turned the hypocrisy dial to eleven:
“Funny thing—the Pope is all about ‘open borders’ here on Earth, but when it comes to Heaven, you better believe there’s a vetting process.”
At this point, even St. Peter at the Pearly Gates was getting dragged into the fight.
“If we followed Pope Francis’s immigration policy in Heaven, even Lucifer would be able to sneak past St. Peter.”
Saturday: Homan Drops the Ultimate Finishing Move
As the week of holy warfare reached its climax, Homan decided to drop the nuclear bomb of logic.
“Pope Francis thinks mass deportation is a ‘disgrace.’ Know what else is a disgrace? Forcing American taxpayers to foot the bill for every illegal alien who waltzes in, while hardworking citizens struggle to afford their own rent.”
The Vatican had no immediate response, possibly because their Wi-Fi went down or because they were too busy reinforcing their own security measures.
“The Pope calls deportation a ‘disgrace’—but I think fentanyl, human trafficking, and cartel murders are the real disgrace.”
Sunday: The Final Smackdown – Homan vs. The Pope in the Royal Rumble of Rhetoric
Sunday Mass was no longer about salvation—it was about immigration and insults. The Pope gave what could only be described as a fire-and-brimstone sermon against “those who reject the migrant,” calling them “blind, deaf, and void of Christ’s love.”
Homan, presumably sipping coffee in a “We the People” mug, delivered his ultimate finishing move:
“Look, I have no problem with Pope Francis preaching about compassion—but when his policies turn America into a third-world socialist mess, I think we should remind him that Jesus flipped tables, not immigration laws.”
A mic drop heard around the world.
“Pope Francis wants us to take in millions of illegal immigrants—meanwhile, he won’t even let a tourist take a selfie in St. Peter’s Basilica without a security check.”
Final Thoughts: A Lesson in Boundaries (Literal and Theological)
By the end of the week, it was clear: the Pope may have divine intervention, but Homan had logic, borders, and one-liners sharper than the Swiss Guard’s halberds.
“If the Vatican were in Texas, it’d have a 30-foot fence, a no-entry sign, and a ‘Trespassers Will Be Excommunicated’ warning.” — Tom Homan
The Holy See had tried every trick in the book—shaming, moral grandstanding, and outright name-calling—but Homan had something even more powerful: facts and common sense.
In the end, it’s simple:
- The Vatican has a wall.
- Heaven has a vetting process.
- And the Pope should probably fix his own border policies before lecturing America.
The moral of the story?
A borderless utopia only exists in Marxist fairy tales.

Tom Homan’s Retorts to Our Marxist Pope
1. The Vatican Has a Wall—But America Can’t?
“Your Holiness, I’d take your advice on border security if I wasn’t staring at the giant stone fortress you live in. You’ve got a wall, a security force, and a guy named Cardinal Guido checking passports at the door—but sure, let’s throw our borders open.”
2. Marxism is Just Bad Theology
“Pope Francis preaches Marxism like it’s the Gospel, but last I checked, the only thing Jesus redistributed was loaves and fishes—not everyone’s tax dollars to people who snuck in the back door.”
3. Papal Hypocrisy 101
“This is a guy who calls deportation a ‘disgrace’ but blesses politicians who let fentanyl flow across the border like it’s holy water.”
4. Divine Intervention vs. Deportation
“I respect the Pope’s faith, but when it comes to border security, I trust a solid border fence more than a prayer and a sermon.”
5. Vatican Takes Zero Migrants—Lectures Everyone Else
“The Vatican is about the size of a Walmart parking lot, and somehow, they’ve managed to take in exactly zero illegal immigrants. But America? We should take 10 million a year? Maybe they should start a ‘Sanctuary Sistine Chapel’ first.”
6. The Pope’s Socialist Sermon Hour
“If Pope Francis really wants socialism, I’d love to see him put a ‘Suggested 10% Tithe’ sign on the donation basket instead of demanding government welfare. Let’s see how that works out.”
7. Heavenly Border Control
“Funny thing—the Pope is all about ‘open borders’ here on Earth, but when it comes to Heaven, you better believe there’s a vetting process.”
8. Deportation is the New Heresy?
“Apparently, enforcing immigration laws is now a mortal sin, but defying every border on the planet is fine. If St. Peter had Pope Francis’s immigration policy, Heaven would be full of freeloaders.”
9. From St. Peter’s Gates to the Rio Grande
“I get it—Pope Francis thinks we should let everyone in, no questions asked. Good thing St. Peter at the Pearly Gates doesn’t have that attitude, or Heaven would be filled with cartel members and identity thieves.”
10. The Pope’s Immigration Policy = Socialist Fantasyland

13. Thou Shalt Not Deport, But Thou Shalt Pay for Everything
“Pope Francis wants us to have ‘compassion’ for illegal immigrants. Great. I have so much compassion—I just don’t want my taxes paying for them. Compassion is optional, IRS bills aren’t.”
14. Holy Water or Holy Hypocrisy?
“If Pope Francis really wants open borders, why doesn’t he hand out Vatican citizenship like communion wafers?”
15. The Pope’s Solution: Let’s Just Ignore the Law
“Pope Francis doesn’t believe in deportations. Well, I don’t believe in running red lights, but if I do, I’m getting a ticket. Laws aren’t optional just because you feel bad about them.”
Final Thoughts: Tom Homan’s Ultimate Burn on the Pope
“Look, I have no problem with Pope Francis preaching about compassion—but when his policies turn America into a third-world socialist mess, I think we should remind him that Jesus flipped tables, not immigration laws.”

Vatican’s Border Security
Walls and Physical Barriers
The Vatican is surrounded by high medieval and Renaissance-era walls, which were originally built as defensive fortifications against invaders. These walls serve as a symbolic and practical barrier, limiting unauthorized entry and protecting the city-state. The height and thickness of the walls vary, with some sections reaching up to 39 feet (12 meters). These walls were reinforced during the Renaissance period, especially under Pope Leo IV and later Pope Paul III, when the Vatican faced threats from external forces.
The most famous section of the wall is near St. Peter’s Square, where it blends with the architecture, but the walls are much more imposing in the back areas of Vatican City.
Checkpoints and Access Control
Access to Vatican City is highly restricted, with several checkpoints controlling the movement of visitors, residents, and workers:
- St. Peter’s Basilica & Square – Tourists and pilgrims can enter the basilica freely, but they must pass through metal detectors and security checks.
- Apostolic Palace & Vatican Museums – Visitors must purchase tickets and pass through security screening, similar to an airport.
- Swiss Guard Checkpoints – Access to areas like the Apostolic Palace, the Pope’s residence, and Vatican Gardens requires clearance. Swiss Guards and Vatican Gendarmerie carefully screen guests and officials.
- Private Entrances (Sant’Anna Gate and Petriano Entrance) – These are used by Vatican employees, clergy, and residents. Entry is restricted, and personnel must present ID badges or biometric clearance.
Security Forces: Swiss Guard and Vatican Gendarmerie
- Swiss Guard – The elite, ceremonial yet highly trained force that protects the Pope. Members must be Swiss, Catholic, and undergo military training. While they are famous for their colorful Renaissance uniforms, they are also trained in modern security tactics, crowd control, and anti-terrorism measures.
- Vatican Gendarmerie Corps – A modern police force responsible for law enforcement, counter-terrorism, and intelligence operations within Vatican City. They conduct background checks, electronic surveillance, and VIP security.
Surveillance and High-Tech Security
The Vatican has a state-of-the-art surveillance system, including:
- Facial recognition cameras positioned around St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican Museums, and key access points.
- Undercover security agents monitoring crowds and potential threats.
- Electronic security doors in restricted areas.
- Explosive detection units to screen for potential terrorist threats.
Diplomatic and Intelligence Coordination
The Vatican coordinates with Italian police and Interpol, given its status as a global religious hub that frequently hosts world leaders and high-profile events. Italian authorities provide additional security for major occasions, such as Christmas Mass or Papal audiences.
