The Hill ^ | 12/25/2023 | Jared Gans

Pope Francis called for the end of military operations in Gaza and the release of Israelis being held hostage in the area in his annual Christmas message.

The pope in remarks at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican in front of thousands of people gathered to pray said that the world should work toward the coming of the day when “nation shall not lift up sword against nation.” He called for it to come to Israel and Palestine, where the war has been “devastating the lives of those peoples.”

No surprise here.

This is what happens when you tell a Jesuit that he’s infallible.

He addressed this to hamas…right?
Release the hostages.
Then see what happens.
No moral equivalence here.

I still remember the TET “cease fire” in South Vietnam. The Commies used it to launch attacks all over South Vietnam.
NEVER TRUST THE ENEMY!

No

Your move

The made up people are hobos, grifters and murderers

They are not a nation

This is a police action with extreme prejudice

Your biblical reference doesn’t apply

A high ranking Rabbi just called on the Pope to issue a statement to have the terrorists release the hostages. So of course Pope Poofter responds by demanding an Israeli cease fire.

There is no doubt that some ranking members of the Catholic Church helped Nazis escape at the end of WW2 (via the so-called “rat lines”). Their defenders say this was because these Catholic officials saw Communism as a bigger threat than Naziism.

Well, okay. But what is not defendable is that the rat lines keep operating even after the horrors of the death camps became known.

Dear pope,
The operations will end just as soon as they’re done.
This is the only way to prevent the Fakestinian terrorists from murdering thousands and thousands and thousands more innocent people.

Thank you and merry Christmas

Pope has more faith in gun powder than providence.

Everyone should remind this individual of his ultimate destination by telling him to go to Hell. He never met an anti-Western cause that he didn’t advocate for or defend.

Tell that to Hamas, dummy.

He did. He told it to all the world, which includes Hamas.

He told everyone to stop killing everyone. That includes Hamas.

For a long time after WW2, there was a debate about whether and how much the Catholic Church aided and abetted the Nazis’ Holocaust.

Unfortunately, there's not been much honest debate over who aided and abetted the Communists' Holocaust of Christians. That subject remains taboo.
