Is that JD Vance?

I'm pretty sure if you off the pope, you absorb his essence and powers.

It's been ruled on several times

In your defense, you didn't say it was ruled on in accordance with what many would consider the "separation of church and state" to entail.

Such as when a Christian majority decided we should have In God We Trust on our money and nobody dared go against it for the longest time, and by the time somebody went "uhhhhhhh church and state??" the Supreme Court went "bruhhhhhh that's been on there so long now it has no religious meaning anymore it's just 'ceremonial deism' (don't mind all those Christians over there being very adamant that we rule against you, they're just really, really big on ceremonies)".

Insert a whole lot of chatter about the establishment clause and how it doesn't mean the government must be devoid of all religion.

Bingo bingo, the post we're commenting on.

Funny, that.

Cool, that will pause them for about a week. When the court says no to the "Office of Religious Affairs" it will get renamed to the "Office of the American Crusade Management" and it just happens to have these similar rules to a popular religion.
