Remind us again, how many divisions does the pope have?
(there's little sense in jones'en for the good 'old days)
BlueDragon:
Well, he doesn’t have any, as Stalin rhetorically asked. At least, not divisions of this world, but, maybe Pope John Paul II had a few spiritual divisions with Michael the Archangel leading the charge against communism in the East.
Back to my earlier post, no, I will hold to the Treaty of Westphalia and will only fight a defensive war, for as GK Chesterton wrote, the Catholic CHristian only fights to defend what is behind him, not what is in front of him. So if Alex agrees to not declare war, maybe a few rhetorical skirmishes, “allegorically speaking of course”, given that I am one of those Patristic types who believes in the 4 modes of scripture, Literal, “Allegorical”, Moral and anagogical would not be to bad
