Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
So Francis didn’t sign this. I wonder how common it has been prior to Pope Francis for the Pope’s secretary to speak for the Pope.
Anyone know?
It just seems like every time, I agree with this Pope and the message is clear, he really didn’t sign it. Only the stuff I don’t agree with the Pope on is actually said by Pope Francis without his Secretary of State involved in the wording.
“to fight against “Nazi barbarism” and free occupied France during World War II.”
Wonder how he feels about the US soldiers killed by the French in North Africa two years before; apparently they didn’t want to be liberated. I was surprised to see a show on TV that actually described tank battles against the French Renault tanks; hard to reconcile with the myth of a French “ally” (propagated by the absurd scene in “The Big Red One” where a couple of French troops briefly resist the Operation Torch landings).
