I said NOT to keep sharing 🤷

[KateS @KSmythStephens]

@Reuters It’s impressive how he's so sure and still so wrong. Any more brains and he'd be a half wit!

[KateS @KSmythStephens]

@ChristopherHale Confidently wrong—that’s almost impressive. Any more brains and he'd be a halfwit!

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground.

Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.

War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

True.

[KateS @KSmythStephens]

@PatriotSassy The Holy Father advocating for peace and upholding the Gospel values is not political! Suggest you say your prayers. Read your catechism and give your head a wobble!

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

it is now obvious to every sane and sensible person that those who warned how dangerous it would be to put Trump in the White House were right.

@atrupar If JD Vance does not resign over this, the world will know that everything he's said about his Catholic faith is a lie.

[Catholic Arena @CatholicArena]

The pope didn't get political, he called for peace in the name of Jesus Christ.

[Father Joseph DeMarzo @Joseph_DeMarzo]

You are only a man @realDonaldTrump , and someday you will stand before our Lord Jesus Christ. You claim our Holy Father @Pontifex is weak, but it takes more strength to do what one should rather than simply what one wants. You intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of stopping drugs and criminals from entering our country, and under Nicolás Maduro you described the regime in terms of narco-terrorism. My qualm is the name games you play. Do you think you can simply legitimize actions by denoting terminology to suit your interest? This you did.

In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu undermine the true meaning of justice through continued acts of unconscionable war crimes, all in the name of “self-defense.” But with the Lord, there will be no altering of words and their meaning; all that will be left is the truth of what really happened. You call the Holy Father weak because he calls for peace? What is weak is bombing children in Gaza in the name of national interest. What is weak is saying this is God’s country, yet by your actions you act as an enemy of the cross.

It is a shame that, in many respects, the COVID situation could have been handled better by the Church, but do you not consider the blunder of Operation Warp Speed? To this day, questions and debates about the long-term effects of the vaccines remain, and this was under your authority, so pluck the splinter out of your own eye.

Inspired by Christian charity, I implore you, repent. We are Christ first, not MAGA first. Our first allegiance is to God and His Kingdom. Are you God first or MAGA first? If God first, why do some of your actions betray that truth? If you come after the Church and the Holy Father @Pontifex_de, don’t think I’ll be silent. I only fear God.

The Archbishop of Washington D.C. just said it directly.

“In Catholic teaching, this is not a just war.”

This isn’t a foreign pope making diplomatic statements from Rome.
This is the Archbishop of the American capital. The man who leads the Catholic Church in the city where the war was decided, where Congress was gaveled into silence, where the Pentagon threatened the Vatican’s ambassador for daring to disagree.

He just told Washington — from Washington — that what they are doing fails the moral test their own faith demands.

The just war doctrine has four criteria. A just cause. Right intention. Last resort. Proportional means.

Cardinal McElroy is saying this war fails them.

He joins Pope Leo XIV who called it unjust. Who called Trump’s threats unacceptable. Who the Pentagon summoned and threatened with the Avignon Papacy for saying so.

They threatened the Pope. They didn’t silence him.

They can’t silence the Archbishop either.

[Lucy Riles @LucyRiles]

What’s the line for you Christians? What’s the final straw?

“Epstein is a hoax” wasn’t too far.

No new wars to war with Iran wasn’t too far.

F bombs on Easter morning wasn’t too far.

$5 a gallon gas wasn’t too far.

Threatening a “whole civilization” that they would die in a night wasn’t too far.

Attacking The Pope wasn’t too far.

What about this? Trump posting himself as a Jesus like messiah figure. Complete blasphemy and antichrist vibes.

[Marci Shore @marci_shore]

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

[KateS @KSmythStephens]

Surely this is hate crime! Inciting violence and terrorism! Why isn't she being arrested and charged!

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

Senator Mark Warner is one of the ”gang of 8” in 🇺🇸 congress having access to all intelligence, and also a thoughtful man. He’s always worth listening to.

[Tom Jamieson @jamiesont]

This is quite superb. Being accused of supporting the Iran regime for backing the rule of law??? Keeps his temper (i wouldn't) & wipes the floor with this buffoon.

[Paul Joseph Watson @PrisonPlanet]

Many on here keep extolling the virtues of this war, but so far all I'm seeing is 200+ dead children, schools, residential areas & hospitals being bombed, and potentially millions upon millions of Iranians heading for Europe.

Struggling to get hyped about that, to be honest.

[KateS @KSmythStephens]

@Channel4News And THEY dare to call themselves Christians. The devil is truly dancing on their shoulders and if they believe even a tiny part of what they've read in the bible think they'll find hell a bit hotter than Florida!

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Despite there being no threat of any kind, the US submarine sailed away with no attempt to pick up survivors, leaving them to drown.

Breaking the first and holiest unwritten law amongst mariners.
