States have always had that power. Whether its age, naturalization, or oath-breaking, it's never been up to the federal government to decide disqualification.

States have always had control over federal elections and candidate qualifications. That's been fundamental to American federalism since the very beginning.

It's not like oath-breaking is the only disqualifier, and states decide those too.

“It is very important that there is this meeting, this meeting between men and women, because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which cancels out differences,” the pope said during an audience with members of the French-based academic organization Research and Anthropology of Vocations Institute (CRAV).

He's demanding that everyone conform to his narrow worldview... in the name of preserving our differences?

That's some impressive mental gymnastics, even for a Pope.

For example, https://theconversation.com/the-french-revolution-executed-royals-and-nobles-yes-but-most-people-killed-were-commoners-200455 which cites this book https://www.amazon.com/Incidence-Terror-During-French-Revolution/dp/0844612111 (unavailable online as far as I can tell.)

I'd also highly recommend Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast series on the French Revolution.

It's worth pointing out that the guillotine was primarily used to terrorize the poor commoners, not nobles (who had already fled the country by that point.)
