Do you think religion should ever be used to justify war? Or is the Pope right to challenge world leaders?
Leaders on all sides!! 😂😂
MAKE THE WORLD GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!
Finally Prevost! We need you to speak strongly . You are a world leader, start showing it!
The pope does not have the authority to say who God listens to and don't. The world is not a fairy tale and he or all people should know that.
The Israeli state machinery with its war crimes is dictating the USA what to do
This is what Jesus would say.
Like Trump he is a non-Catholic who justifies false peace, calling it "peace," just more lies
from a false pope who denies the real truths of the Catholic Faith!
Pop finally wake up after 3 years.
what itlay has to do with USA Israel Iran war..
Thank you father ❤
The Pope is incorrect, sorry but the papacy does not grant you the right to spew false teachings
Stay on your faith! But you cannot stop the book of event which was already written in your bible. How blind. They read it but dont believe in it
Ummm…of course not. God is too busy blessing touchdowns and home runs.
God won't listen to Lucifer either ..
How sad the motherland of our dear Pope is led by greedy, ignorant, cruel blood thirsty minds. Let the blocl of the innocent be on their hands for generations.
Just remember who started invoking religion to shoot the 1st missiles
👋
Where are we and where are we headed? Referring to the present time, Jesus announced, "You will certainly later hear about battles [That's where we're at right now], thereafter the sounds of ongoing battles [And we are heading in that direction. The current regional battles will turn into a major war. However, there will be no direct confrontation between Russia and the United States]. Behold, do not be alarmed; for all must come to pass, but it is not yet the fulfillment [of the sign = the global nuclear war]." (Matthew 24:6)
"When you later hear about battles, thereafter the commotions of war, do not be terrified; for these must first happen, but the fulfillment [of the sign] not immediately." (Luke 21:9)
Wars have always been around. And that’s certainly not what Jesus wanted to tell us. The earlier wars (among others WW1, WW2) did not carry the risk of turning into a sign of Jesus recorded in Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:10, 11.
Jesus is talking about one war that some have already called WW3. This war will not escalate into a global nuclear war. This is the scenario of a great war that will precede the fulfillment of the sign.
Jesus was referring here to the prediction of Daniel which says, "At the appointed time [the king of the north] will return back." (Daniel 11:29a) This, in this context, means a major war. This war will not escalate into a global nuclear war. Russia will definitely not attack the US now, and the US will not allow itself to be drawn into direct war with Russia. Russian garrisons will return to where they were previously stationed. The EU and NATO will break up.
Did He reject the prayers from Pope Urban II
Well done Pope Leo!
God bless you, 🙏
🕊️
You want to stop wars maybe don't represent Jesus on a cross anymore
As gods are purely fictional by product of our brains, who cares about the pope?
The bloods of innocent people are in there hand ,Thou shall not kill.
Excellent
I love Pope Leo the 14th. I agree 100% with his message. Peace.
Best thing I've heard since the insanity began✝️❤️😁
Donald John Trump is the most evil monster on the face of earth today.
No!
How the pope knows that? He doesn’t know what happen to him tomorrow.
🙏🙏🙏
You must have ment trump your American stay out of it
Then he clearly is not for America. THEY STARTED IT.
Hey JD, this is the second pope in a row to specifically say you’re a bad catholic 😂
god doesn't seem to listen to popes either. how else can you explain all these wars going on every damn where. jesus wiping sins away?? What sins? Sinning is still happening everywhere
your religion is dying. Many of your faithful is persecuted and dominated. separation of church (secularism) is useless if political Islam not banned.
846th!
Now we know why they rejected Jesus. Because Jesus preaches peace. Chistianity is not entirely blameless in this, but at least theyre not out there openly supporting war.
👏👏
Where is the ummah where is the outrage
Meanwhile Iran uses religion to justify terror and war
The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3
I think when Jesus comes the first thing he will do is go after churches. He will say ..I don't know them
