“Brothers and sisters, this is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war,” the first American pope, citing a Bible passage, told congregants in St. Peter’s Square, according to The Associated Press.
“He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them,” he added.

And then there’s that pesky little Bible verse Exodus 15:3 proclaiming God himself as a man of WAR
Oh dear
“”This Pope is as dumb as the last Pope.””
***
It’s not as matter of smart or dumb. It’s an ongoing globalist agenda-driven propaganda spew. That is the ONLY reason ‘why’ a Chicago American was chosen as Pope. They knew the spew would be practiced and effective for their purposes.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
- 1 Corinthians 13:11
Look at the silly Pope trying to tell God who to listen to.

Let’s not cherry pick away the commands of our warrior God and our savior, The Prince of PEACE:
__________________________________________________________
And to be clear: The Old Testament also allowed for divorce, polygamy, eye for eye. It doesn’t make it right post-Jesus. Our reading the Old must be enlightened by the New.
The earthly battles Old Testament Israel fought were meant to prefigure the ultimate spiritual battle that Christ would wage against the forces of HELL. They are physical manifestations of the spiritual battles we believers face daily as we clear the lands of our lives - of the sins and demons which so beset us!
Christ came in riding on a donkey…Because even in his human meekness, He would ultimately triumph in spiritual victory. That is the message of the Cross.
We do not wage war as the world does. Our weapons are spiritual not carnal. (Apostle Paul)
That doesn’t mean human governments are not to be submitted to. Romans 13 commands that we do. But there needs to be a distinction.
We are to be as shrewd as snakes but as harmless as doves.
”My kingdom is not of this world.” - Jesus
"childlike" and "childish" ??
Did you originally mean that the BB article was "childlike"?
Did you originally mean that the BB article was "childish"?
Did you mean that the BB article, entitled:
Pope Leo Explains God Does Not Listen To People Who Wage War So Long As You Don’t Count Moses, David, Joshua, Elijah, Saul, Gideon, Samson, Or Anyone Else In Bible
...doesn't qualify as satire - because it's TRUE?
When you typed:
The juvenile Babylon Bee of course conveniently leaves out Jesus.
...did you mean that JESUS will wage war at Armageddon? (That actually makes sense...)
Once again, I'm asking you:
"juvenile" - Would you like to explain your word selection there?
....
Then you confuse the matter further with an unrelated verse. Here's another unrelated verse: Jesus wept. (Jn 11:35)
...
What's the deal with you?
.....
Amazing Grace which means "unmerited favor", which means you can't earn your way or work your way into heaven, which means that RCC is on the wrong path with all of their works-based almost-assured but never quite certain salvation requirements (along with a long list of their other lies and inaccuracies).

“...eye for eye...”
You have drunk the Kool Aid. That simply gives the protection that the punishment must fit the crime.
Have you ever read Matthew 23?
Have you ever read Revelation?
Have you ever read Romans about how the state, commissioned by God, wields the sword for the protection ot its people?
Have you ever considered that Christianity is about an individual’s relationship to Jesus, and not about secular governments?
Do you and the Pope think that China will yield to Christian sentiments in governing their affairs? Can your and the Pope’s religious beliefs protect our national security?
Seems Leo is a little soft pated.
I would recommend reading Hegseth’s prayer. It’s not wrong that he prayed. It’s how he prayed it…And yes it’s sad to think he was praying it over a bunch of troops who may not even have a personal relationship with Jesus.
The Pope’s homily in full is in total keeping with the spirit of Palm Sunday of this whole week heading to Good Friday and Easter.
“And yes it’s sad to think he was praying it over a bunch of troops who may not even have a personal relationship with Jesus.”
Did he commit a sin by praying that prayer?
‘Pope’ Leo is evidently biblically illiterate.
Matthew 10:34-36 KJV
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her mother,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
...and then putting words into GOD's mouth?
What kind of a 'Catholic' are you?
Well, I have read the calendar, and by GOD this is a day that I suspect ANY kind of news!!
True, but thank GOD! that what the RCC teaches is infallible!
Genesis 16:12 He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone's hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.
Understudy of EBB, who, evidently, has found a different windmill to tilt at this week.
But jihad, coooo.
April Fools!
