He sees more clarity than I do. The Pope himself keeps calling for calm and peace. All the other noise from the Vatican can be interpreted anyway anyone wants.

Not for the first time.

A.D. 1095 comes to mind.

From what I hear the Vatican has plenty of money to fund a crusade.

Uncle Joe asks “ How many divisions does this Pope of Rome have?”

He actually has had military power at times hasn’t he?

Middle ages?

So finally the Vatican and Pope Francis admit that war is never the answer... except when it is.

The Church has never taught that war is never the answer.

My point exactly. But the hierarchy today almost universally teaches exactly that.

I see what you’re saying. This is similar to the teaching on the death penalty. Traditionally allowed, but nowadays the hierarchy teaches as if it is never allowed.
