Well, he endorsed “stoppage”, not force. The guy is one of the most equivocal, non-content, mealy-mouthed wannabes that thinks he is some sort of world “leader”, but is really just another guy in a bathrobe with an odd beany and ought to stick to making up new rules about selling indulgences to buy another castle.
I would not have put it quite so colorfully, but you are exactly correct. Since this pope is incapable of speaking plainly, I view the claims of the supposed papal pronouncement like all his others; likely to be misunderstood and misrepresented, and very likely to be just leftist drivel. This pope has no other vocabulary.
BTTT. What are the means that could cause this stoppage? Dialogue? Pretty tough to dialogue when headless. Has to be force, that has to be military means unless the force comes from heaven. And while I’d love to see that, he can’t bring himself to call for the earthly means. Worse than useless.
Where is Pope Urban II when we need him?
