You would think common sense would eventually take hold of Pope Francis, but it hasnโt. Israel is a civilized country. They donโt shoot down children. However, Hamas uses women and children as shields.
Whoever Pope Francis gets his information from, is misinforming him.
โLet us pray for a ceasefire on all war fronts, in Ukraine, the Holy Land, in all the Middle East and the entire world, at Christmas,โ the pontiff said in his weekly Angelus address Sunday. โAnd with sorrow I think of Gaza, of so much cruelty; of the children machine-gunned, the bombing of schools and hospitalsโฆ So much cruelty!โ
The pope also called out ongoing attacks on โtormented Ukraineโ that at times damage schools, hospitals, and churches.
โYesterday, children were bombed. This is cruelty. This is not warfare,โ Francis said. โI want to say this because it moves the heart.โ
Saying he wants the killing to stop is what he should say, but attacking Israel and ignoring the bombings and terror by Hamas terrorists is unfathomable. As a Catholic, I would love to see him retire.
