Ignore the papal feud entirely and focus on tracking congressional authorization status for Iran military operations and whether the Hormuz blockade announcement represents actual deployment orders or rhetorical posturing.
Pure diplomatic theater with zero constitutional governance impact—papal criticism carries no enforcement mechanism or policy lever. Scores extremely high on distraction (B=78) due to perfect timing overlap with substantive Iran war events (Hormuz blockade, nuclear talks failure, military resource diversion) and maximum media-friendliness (religion vs politics conflict requires zero investigative work). The intentionality score of 11/15 confirms this as strategic distraction from actual war policy accountability.
