The head of the Catholic Church says Israeli strikes are reaping an ‘appalling harvest’ of innocent civilians.

    On Christmas Day, it is time to reflect on what Christ would have wanted. I doubt bombing the descendants of his friends and family would be it.

    Even the church says it is genocide. Lets hope NATO doesn’t invade Vatikan to establish the correct democracy there for saying wrong things, like Haitian president Aiside when he demanded reparations from France.

      We all know that NATO won’t invade the Vatican because their resources are tied up in Russia, in supporting US interests in Taiwan, in blocking Ansarallah in the Red Sea, in supporting Guyana in South America…

      How are those going, by the way?

    I missed the Lemmy post of the speech he gave when he called the Israeli military terrorists

    Pope Francis being a good guy again.

    I was born and raised catholic. Almost fully stopped believing when my church was hit by lightning and burned down in front of me as a kid. Francis gives me slight hope that religion can be good; the rest of the clergy brings that hope down again though haha

    There’s not much the Pope can do tbh

    Even though the IDF has been bombing churches, the Pope is powerless

    A church that believes in drinking blood as a part of their sacrament calling civilian deaths a ‘harvest’ is sure an interesting look.
    I mean the IDF is fucked and the situation they’ve caused in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. But, this feels like he’s whining that someone else’s blood god is stealing all the blood.

      Superficially I guess. The difference is Jesus’ blood was given freely by him in direct contrast to the Old Testament bloody sacrifices. Lam of God and all that
