Pope Francis said in his Christmas Eve Midnight Mass homily that "our hearts are in Bethlehem," where Jesus was born and is currently being "rejected" due to Israel's ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, and in his Christmas Day homily on Monday, he called the children affected by war the "little Jesuses of today."
"Tonight, our hearts are in Bethlehem, where the Prince of Peace is once more rejected by the futile logic of war, by the clash of arms that even today prevents him from finding room in the world," the pontiff said Sunday evening, according to the Vatican. The pope was referring to how Luke 2:7 states that there was no room in the inn for Jesus and his family, so they stayed in a manger.
Many Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem have been tapered down amid the ongoing war less than 50 miles away in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Authority has full civilian and security control of Bethlehem in the West Bank while Gaza is under the control of Hamas, the U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization that launched an attack against Israel on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people and kidnapping approximately 240 others.
In his Christmas Day homily, the pontiff said that the "Prince of this world" is "sowing the seeds of death."

Consider the source of his guidance.
“Tonight, our hearts are in Bethlehem, where the Prince of Peace is once more rejected by the futile logic of war, by the clash of arms that even today prevents him from finding room in the world” …So war is futile and “prevents (Jesus) from finding room in the world”, the all-powerful Jesus? Try reading the Bible sometime.
Franny believes in the faulse Volvo, sunshine and flowers jesus.
Logic is a word that Poop Frankie shouldn’t use.
Lighten up Francis. Geez.
He needs to step down. Why he was voted in by the cardinals in the first place is beyond me. He’s just damaging the Church.
Sounds like the rantings of a false profit to me.
The homo infiltrators in the Vatican voted him in to push homo BS.
Ah, makes sense.
Proves himself an apostate once again.
Frankie should resign and Go to Hollywood
FTA: ... no room in the inn for Jesus and his family, so they stayed in a manger.
~~~
What?! Idiot writer needs a dictionary. The whole family was not in the manger.
Yep.
Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
Francis evidently doesn’t recall how God backed the Israel of old.
He hasn’t changed.
“The little Jesuses of today.” ?
This makes no sense. At all.
That he should.
Bet he’d feel right at home in ole Gomorrah and surrounding villages, probably berate everyone who objected as being phobic or something.
Where and when is Frank going to attack the Hamas terrorists?
Peace does not mean the absence of war. War is only the most conspicuous and outwardly sign of what troubles this world, while the devil still runs rampant. There are two sides to every war, and there is no implication in the Bible that both sides are at the wrong in it. War is often necessary in a world where evil presides.
