Fr dear Fr: In my booklet here De Sanctionibus by Fr Velasio, it states that the Catholic Church retains an ancient power of coercion, is this really true or is this just hyperbole?

Actually, given the dark side and the many eruptions of the dark on the surface of the homeworld above among us, it seems that the Church does retain a right to coerce when the time comes, chiefly as a means of imposing military force and dominion over these unplanned and dangerous eruptions of the dark on the surface of the human world, and this by imposing law and order and sanction on those eruptions of a volcanic kind, just to protect the suffering side of humanity at such awful times. Tehran is a case in point. Kosovo too is the example chosen for this privilege as and when John Paul II asked the western powers to intervene to save lives and livelihoods. 2003 too. Julius II in history is among the most well-known examples, and of course Alexander Borgia too. Whatever about the private lives of such worldly superiors, they did understand one thing very well - that the dark must be stopped, must be curtailed, must be suppressed as and when and indeed whenever it has the audacity to arise to trouble the affairs of men and women and also children. The struggle of the Church is a struggle with the unseen forces of the dark, and sometimes she retains the right to use military force as and when. 1399 for example. Tehran. Even where the dark uses religion for its nefarious office of deceit.
