no but you don't understand, this is literally her role. she became a saint almost 500 years after her death, with the explicit intention of her being a bridge between the Church and the french government of the time, which was extremely anticlerical. the pope even kissed a french flag during the ceremony. it also united the far-left and the right-wing nationalists as a strong symbol when the country really needed reconciliation (it was just after ww1). so yes haha funny post, but also accurate historical account of the importance of the figure of Joan of Arc
