Pope Francis said the U.S. is unnecessarily escalating a confrontation with North Korea, saying "things have gotten too hot."
If a war were to break out, it could have catastrophic consequences leading to the destruction of "a good part of humanity and culture," the pope said this weekend while departing Egypt for Rome.
"We are talking about the future of humanity. Today, a widespread war would destroy — I would not say half of humanity — but a good part of humanity, and of culture, everything, everything," he said. "It would be terrible. I don't think that humanity today would be able to withstand it."
He said North Korea's development of nuclear weapons has been known for years, and the escalation was not necessary.
The pope said the United Nations has "been watered down," but needs to be called on for leadership when it comes to North Korea.
"There are so many facilitators in the world, there are mediators who offer themselves," he said. "It is always ready to help."
As a Catholic, I am so sick and tired of this blithering idiot of a Pope.
, it could have catastrophic consequences leading to the destruction of “a good part of humanity and culture,”..
He’s right. ISIS IS doing it’s best at that.
He’s officially crossed the line to avowed communist, which means he must be an atheist which means I’ll be taking marching orders from the cardinals and bishops that are defending the real church.
Butt out, Padre.
This pope is oblivious to reality.
Perhaps the Pope could visit the Catholics of Korea. bring some food and drop in on Kim. Now that would take guts.
Me too. So Francis we should just let the fat man nuc whoever he wants to.
Well now...i.suppose Roosevelt was responsible for Pearl Harbor, given that the oil embargo was a provocation...

Yes, the confrontation is all Trump’s fault, just like the first Korean War was all Truman’s fault, and World War II was Poland’s fault.
Makes a bad situation worse.
Fudge packer ...
You can take the Pope out of Argentina, but you can’t take Argentina out of the Pope.

Deep down inside this sick Pope wishes & prays (to the devil) for WWIII. It’s part of the liberal depopulation ideology.
Pope Francis Publicly Aligns Ideology With Depopulation Agenda, Urges Limit on Amount of Children, if ‘you cannot bring them up properly’
He’s probably also glad the French didn’t challenge the German reoccupation of the Rhineland because a challenge would have been provocative and might have led to hostilities.
This Pope is struck with a Cassandra Complex. Infallible as to faith and morals but doesn’t have a clue as to when to shut up.
BTW Mr. Pope, thanks for all the help from the Catholic world defeating first the Nazis and then the Commies. Really cool, wasn’t it, declaring fascism to be the one economic system consistent with human dignity.
The ImPopester should keep his mouth shut.
Lighten up, Francis!
Hahaha. Pope Peronista I speaks.
