Pope Francis made an emotional plea for peace on Sunday in an impromptu addition to comments delivered at his weekly Angelus address in Saint Peter's Square.
As the Argentinian-born pontiff wrapped up his regular address to the faithful, he spoke of the upcoming centenary of the outbreak of World War One and said his thoughts were on the Middle East, Iraq and Ukraine in particular.
With his voice appearing to crack with emotion, the pope broke off from his scripted remarks to make a direct appeal for fighting to end.
"Please stop!, I ask you with all my heart, it's time to stop. Stop, please!"

Definitely not a clone of John Paul II.

I agree...but I don't think he's got the guts to get into a REAL fight.
He would rather fight capitalists than muslims.

The Roman Church has gone soft.
But considering that Rome is full of Vatican Queers...why not?

Dear Pope Francis,
Grow a pair and defend your brethren that are being slaughtered world wide.

There’s a lot of issues that the Pope could say, “Stop!”
Israel should kick butt for once to get it done! I side
with the good guys not the terror groups.

Has Christianity become so soft that it can’t perceive the difference between evil, and the need to struggle against it?

I don’t care what that old man wants. The catholic church is getting lots of tax dollars to help illegals invade this country.

He’s loving it. This “Pope” is anything but a Catholic, let alone a Christian.

A time for war and a time for peace. Pick up the white courtesy Bible, Pope Francis.

This guy and, sadly, a growing number of Christian leaders wouldn’t recognize evil even as it’s teeth sinks into their necks.

You’re not likely to find a “weak-minded” Jesuit. I’m not on board with him on this or much of anything else, but I think he should be underestimated in that regard.

“All beliefs are equally valid.”
You know, or should know, that can’t possibly be true.
