... adopt measures to protect those who are threatened by violence...
In other words, he wants us to take military action, a.k.a., the dreaded "W" word, "war".
So, Pope Francis... I thought war is never the answer?!
Except when it is, I guess.

My sentiments exactly. And why doesn’t he open the Vatican to all these displaced and persecuted Christians?
To: scouter
Isn't he worried about insulting the religion of peace?

take measures - put an end to the humanitarian drama - adopt measures - assure them necessary aid -
Maybe it doesn’t sound like mealy mouthed mush in the original Italian.

Let’s just say Pope Francis “woke up and SMELLED the coffee” for a change.

A Pope would never call for war. A crusade maybe but never a war.

And if the pope did form divisions, wouldn’t you then complain about that?
To: vladimir998
I believe the Pope had about 2 divisions until the 1970s. Now the Swiss Guard is all that remains and there are less than 200 of them. I have no complaints about the Pope using his own military to accomplish something he railed against recently.

The Pope needs to call the world to a Crusade.
But he won’t...

How would that matter either way?

No.

LOL!

When Catholics can vote in Presbyterian consistories we’ll talk.

We have some Vatican guard in Arizona protecting their telescope. If you hike in the area they point their guns at you. If they would only do that for the threatened churches around the Islamic-infested world.
