I’m going to be blunt.
I’d like to talk about some of the very stupid things that people are saying right now
If you’re not catholic, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to people who say they are Catholic.
Let’s start with the talking point about the pope sitting behind walls.
Have you been to the Vatican? These “high walls” that were built in the fourth century leave an opening about a half a mile wide so that anyone and everyone can simply walk in anytime.
Look at an image of Saint Peter Square you’ll see exactly what I mean.
What the heck are you guys talking about with high walls?
Would you like them to tear down a fourth century wall so that you think their politics might be more defendable?
Would you like a pope that runs about shouting “cry havoc and let’s slip the dogs of war!” is that the pope you want? What mighty army would he summon? How did our invasion of Iraq in the Afghanistan go? How many corpses do we need to pile up until everyone understands that war is a horror. Statistically, more than 99% of the people screaming for war will never be affected by it.
Maybe The Pope should call for a crusade?
I’m sure all 27 Americans who replied to it would make a huge difference.
Your political masters .2 about eight posts to see how bad the pope is. You believe them.
He’s given a ton of speeches about Islamic violence, he’s done everything in his speaking power to encourage people toward peace. But your political masters told you different and you followed like good acolytes.
Most of our Protestant brothers and sisters love us, Catholics. But the Huxter‘s and the insecure don’t. I’m watching Catholics repeat the talking points of anti-Catholic madman and acting like they have a geopolitical sense greater than that of a man in charge of a world wide institution with 1.3 billion members.
Pardon my intensity, but I am very sick of Americans being more formed by right wing and left-wing political commentators then they are by the spirit of the living God.
Do you want war? Go fight in one. Stand with me at the funeral of these beautiful lives, shredded and cut short so that your political masters are appeased.
On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.
