    Ok but could Leo turn around and just say that at Church property is effectively like a consulate of the Vatican? Like, U.S. law wouldn’t apply anywhere owned by a diocese.

      No, the land they own still has to comply with domestic law in whatever country it’s in, but they are very large landowners and could do quite a lot with the power that comes with that, and he could also do a lot in the way of “instructing Catholic Churches to hide people from ICE, excommunicating Catholics who collaborate with ICE, etc.” if he wanted to
