Pope Francis tells 60 Minutes in rare interview: "the globalization of indifference is a very ugly disease"
CBS News ^ | May 20, 2024 | Norah O'Donnell

Posted on 05/20/2024 2:29:39 AM PDT by rod5591

Next weekend, Pope Francis will welcome tens of thousands of young people to the Vatican, including refugees of war.

Norah O'Donnell: During World Children's Day, the U.N. says over a million people will be facing famine in Gaza, many of them children.

Pope Francis (In Spanish/English translation): Not just in Gaza. Think of Ukraine. Many kids from Ukraine come here. You know something? That those children don't know how to smile? I'll say something to them (mimics smile)… they have forgotten how to smile. And that is very painful.

Norah O'Donnell: Do you have a message for Vladimir Putin when it comes to Ukraine?

Pope Francis (In Spanish/English translation): Please, warring countries, all of them, stop. Stop the war. You must find a way of negotiating for peace. Strive for peace. A negotiated peace is always better than an endless war.

I’m not indifferent....I feel the same way about the Commie Pope as I did yesterday.

[Please, warring countries, all of them, stop. Stop the war. You must find a way of negotiating for peace. Strive for peace. A negotiated peace is always better than an endless war.]

A very rare moment when I agree with Frankie.

Good interview? Really? Two Marxists scratching each other’s back. O’Donnell seeks papal validation of one left-wing idea after another and typically Frankie doesn’t disappoint her. Never once in the posted transcript did I see the pope talk about the gospel. Never once did he talk about repentance. Very frustrating to continue to see this heretic misleading so many.

It’s amazing how this Pope can avoid mentioning Jesus, even while contradicting him.

The interview was brought to us by Pfizer - how appropriate

Last I checked, there were no endless wars—although there have been some fairly long ones.

The Punic Wars concluded, as did the Sino-Japanese wars.

If the unjust side demands too much or concedes too little.

The quip “there never was a good war or a bad peace”, while clever, needs loads of qualifications.

As much as I do not care for the Vatican II flower children, the quip “If you want peace, work for justice” is much better—but that requires having some clue about what justice is.

The inverse, exemplified by the military-industrial complex is:
“If you want profit, work for war”

I don’t think “endless war(s)”

More like “endless war(_)”

from the Uniparty MIC

But there are terrorist groups like Hamas, etc.

Eisenhower may just have been correct.

Yeah, the Pope needs to get back to the basics. What is the mission of the Church? What are you trying to do?

Arguably Islam.

Not nearly as ugly as the indifference of globalism.

Which is exactly why I avoided this like the plague it sounds exactly as I thought it would be. Pope propping up CBS and their libtard global paganism.

It’s been impossible for me to watch Norah O’Donnell since she revealed herself as a typical Obama acolyte (not surprised)

Same with Brian Williams - since waaaaay back

Oh I’ll believe in Frankie the same day I believe in Manchurian Candidate Barack Obama

A picture of the False Prophet and the Antichrist, respectively. /preaching to the choir

I’m just saying there’s basically nothing wrong with that particular statement.
