B) 🪵🔥 “Where there is no wood, the fire goes out, And where there is no slanderer, quarreling ceases. As charcoal for the embers and wood for the fire, So a contentious man kindles a quarrel.”
Provėrbs 26: 20,21
The dead Jesus who you are parading around on your silver staff. In Mathew 10: 34-36 Jesus said that he came not to bring peace to the world, but a sword. His followers interrupt this as a spiritual sword. But he goes on to talk about families turning on each other. Sounds like the middle east in a nutshell.
There is nothing unholy as a holy war !
At the end of the day, Donald Trump has to tell the lord what he did.. and this will be his problem!
Yes if the real catholics know who they are😊
Pope Leo is the right man at the right time
The Pope may be right but, when someone believes in miracles, the suspension of the laws of physics in your favour and expects eternal life after death as long as you have faith without evidence, I think your credibility is pretty much shot and anything you say is irrelevant.
there is a saying … "I am talking you to my daughter !, my daughter-in-law you… are the one to understand ." Meaning The pope may be in Africa but is addressing his messages to EU as well as US in my opinion… EU countries have been the enablers for decades now…
"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." – Thomas Jefferson.
When rulers abandon their duty to serve the people and instead pursue self-interest or oppression, they lose their legitimacy, making resistance and rebellion an inevitable consequence of broken leadership.
This concept is often summarized by the belief that "Rebellion is born when rulers forget they are meant to serve," a principle attributed to Confucius.
Trump won't be running again so losing voters is the least of his concerns.
i can think of a few.
Best pope ever!
The reason why the Pope criticism, about war, it's first because he is a human of God. Second it's his mandate of God to conden murderous tyrant around the world
The Pope had no choice but to intervene to stop the current perilous situation slipping into WW 3 coz the political checks and balances against War of choice has collapsed in the USA.
The Pope is right. I stand with him
The church has a history of humanity, and I will put an example, look how in El Salvador, the far right death scuad killed El Salvador, Bishop Romero, 1980 for putting himself with the people in condening the killings of innocent and peasants, in El Salvador. Well now we can see the Pope position, it's a mandate of God to be in the right side of history.
Calling things by their name is what many people want in a world where politicians are generally mistrusted
