Meanwhile supposedly devout and lifelong catholic (a defense he also used for his refusal to do anything to protect women's rights to abortion) Joe Biden not only actively spread Israeli propaganda after October 7th, claiming he had "personally seen" proof of Israel's lies that Hamas were "beheading babies," but he also bombed Palestine in support of Israel's genocide repeatedly.
I was worried when they elected an American pope, but this guy's been doing pretty well. Though I just don't see a two-state solution as viable at the moment, Israel would never accept it and when they don't accept something, they kill it. Maybe the more stable option is a one-state solution with complete and total equal rights for everyone, Arabs and Jews, but Israel won't accept that either. So I'm not sure what the best option is. I just know that it's real will not accept peace.
Switzerland. Give Israel over to Switzerland and the THEM have control over it. They are neutral enough that they'll not put up with any shit from ANYONE.
Send their asses back to europe where they belong, and remind them what happens to Nazi collaborators... They should know, since they carried out multiple assassinations throughout the years after finding them in seclusion. That will hopefully be enough to keep the current generation of "Israelis" quiet, while their children get deprogrammed and re-integrated back into the larger community of the west.
when I was a kid Pope John Paul II was everywhere. Millions were spent on his image and ironically now it seems he was insanely corrupt and ready to use his image for selling overpriced trinkets. He was really the pope of neoliberalism. Ratzinger was a foolish traditionalist and got all the burn JP2 deserved. Francis tried to reform the church from all the shit JP2 turned the catholic institution into and all the unnecessary hate towards minorities but he assisted militars to find rebels...
Nah he is a PR spin machine for a failing Catholic Church and you are rushing to buy into it. Still shielding pedo priests and funding anti abortion and anti LGBTQ movements. Fuck the pope. World largest hypocrite.
this new one seems doesnt get as much time on media but seems a man that really wants the world to be better. even if his voice doesnt seem to be as powerful as the pope of merchantilism.
Translation: I know the perpetrators won’t give a single shit about my speech but I’ll make it anyway because it’s good marketing for the church. Meanwhile, I will continue to instruct priests to push right-wing hate during sermons.
Israel wants no part of a 2-state solution. The Zionists point to the Bible and say God gave them this land. Apparently, the part about Thou Shalt NOT Kill, doesn't apply to Zionists!
You are falling for propaganda. The Catholic Church still is shielding pedo priests from prosecution at the Vatican. The church still donates millions to anti abortion and anti LGBTQ causes across the world. It's still an anti science and sexist cult. He is just their latest flashy PR machine to help fight declining church income. Then taking the easiest position in the world to take doesn't make him or the Catholic Church something to be celebrated.
No shit lol. Read the whole statement. The church is shit, doesn't mean this pope hasn't said things i can like. The church is and always will be a joke that isnt funny. All religions are bullshit. Adults shouldn't have imaginary friends.
forever is a long time. If they stop and make their populace watch videos of the horrors they did like germans had to watch concentration camp videos of the Nazi party and pay huge sums to rebuild. Maybe in a generation or two no fuck israel.
this. If they actually admit guilt and take action to admit and take punishment ofr said action then you can not hate them...but i dont see that happening becasue nothing bad is happening to em on the global map.
Israel is still founded exclusively by an occupation force of European colonizers. The British zionists even managed to get the native jewish population wiped out during one of their many terrorism campaigns against the local Muslim population prior to the west wall riots. The justification zionists use for the existence of Israel is basically the same russia uses for their demands that crimea, and Ukraine at large, should belong to russia.
No, but if this Pope can get more people fired up against what Israel is doing, we have a greater chance of electing a representative that opposes what Israel is doing. I am excommunicated from his particular faith, but at this moment in time, the enemy of my enemy is my friend
Not necessarily, He said don't pray publically for the purpose of attention or praise. He also said "Where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them"
The command for slaves to obey their masters is found in the letters (epistles) of the New Testament, not the spoken words of Jesus in the Gospels. Writers like Paul and Peter gave advice for living within the Roman Empire, where slavery was a massive part of daily life. Jesus taught love, kindness, and mercy, but He did not give specific legal rules about abolishing or obeying the Roman system of slavery.
He healed a Roman's slave that was injured and didn't say a goddamn thing about "Hey, you should free your slaves and not own people." I also appreciate the technicality apologistics of "Its not TECHNICALLY Jesus," even though Paul was quoting Jesus. Also, all the laws for slavery still exist, the Old Testament law still applies. Matthew 5:18 says all the laws about enslaving and tricking Israelites into being your slave forever, taking sex slaves from rival nations or war prisoners applies.

I love that Republicans hate him because he actually projects the values of Christianity.

Israel will probably say the pope’s calls for peace are anti semetic

Pleading to Satan to end his violence never works. Sometimes, God just has to smack Satan hard in the kisser.

And here comes some couch-humping, guy liner-wearing dirtbag to tell the Pope he doesn't know anything about Church doctrine

Ok, now tell your cardinals and bishops to mobilize their flocks and protest in the streets... No?

He didn't say "fair and lasting peace" he said "just and durable peace". Big difference.

No more giving territory to European powers and telling them to manage it. No more colonialism.

World view matters in this case. To world leaders, Catholic Church > Israel for now. But are they even stopping Israel tho? Unfortunately no.

This Pope might be okay, but the entire organization's got to fucken go. Besides, Jesus said that you should pray in your closet.

Not necessarily, He said don't pray publically for the purpose of attention or praise. He also said "Where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them"

Jesus also told slaves to obey their masters, even the cruel ones. Jesus isn't good.
