THANK GOD! A POPE WITH COMMON SENSE!
#Jesus ⚡️🙏⚡️🌍⚡️🇺🇸⚡️🌍⚡️

Those Christians that are not actually “Christian”
- don’t seem to understand that Jesus gave a New Testament!
Part of it is:
“Thou Shalt Not Kill!”⚡️⚡️⚡️

The Pope is attempting to be the adult in the room. Doubt Trump will listen though. His recalcitrance was on display earlier today.

The Catholics must be so confused! They’re against abortion in any and all situations but ok with killing innocent children by bombing schools and hospitals. No surprise to me as it’s been ok for far right Americans to use their guns to murder American kids at school!

I'll simplify it for you: The GOP is, and always has been, a party of death. Under Trump, it's a death cult.

He's demanding Catholics all over the country to decry the "war" and get it ended.

Be careful. Trump thinks he has the right to smite anyone who displeases him.

An old Italian saying goes "Morto un papa, se ne fa un altro": "When a Pope dies, another one is made."
Much like the French "Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi," it stresses that the power of the Institution doesn't end with one individual. But France is a Republic now, and there's still a Pope.

These are still war crimes and there is no statute of limitations on murder.

Does he aspire to be a god, or just the biggest mafia don of all time?

All notions of omnipotence are delusional, but I’ll take it.

I like it and he’s so right. He speaks with the greatest authority in the world. Keep it up, Pope.

These reactions are increasingly making me believe the story of the Avignon papacy. The Vatican is pissed off.

Imagine telling someone in 2015 that there will be a feud between the American president and the Pope and that the whole world supports the Pope.

the pope is an american from Chicago, so.

on top of that he's an AUGUSTINIAN.

for context, those are the folks who look at saints like Mother Theresa and go "Rookie Numbers." I'm not kidding.

The Pope is American also. Don't piss off an American Catholic, they can get testy.
