am still trying to work out what it was the Pope meant to say when he spoke on the plane to Poland, saying that “It’s war, we don’t have to be afraid to say this … a war of interests, for money, resources. I am not speaking of a war of religions. Religions don’t want war. The others want war.”
This is presumably a literal translation of what he said in Italian, but even in Italian it seems rather vague. What are these “interests”, or vested interests as we would put it in English? And who are the “others” who want war?
It is war, one supposes, because there is fighting, but even this is misleading: there is not fighting in the usual sense of the term. Rather, there is naked aggression against harmless and defenceless people. That is rather different. The term that best sums this up is of course terrorism, or perhaps “asymmetrical war”.
It is really important that we remember that people like Fr Jacques Hamel, or the Christians celebrating Easter in Pakistan, or the nun shot dead in Somalia, or the many Christians murdered in churches in Kenya, are not posing any danger to anyone. They are not provoking anyone either. If this is war, it is a war being fought be one side only. And indeed, even in words, the war is one sided. The threats uttered by Muslims towards Christians are blood curdling; there is no Christian equivalent to ISIS and its propaganda machine. Christianity is not at war with anyone: it is the victim of warmongers.

This Pope is a Red!
Seems to me that the Pope is blaming everybody but the Islamists.
Papal taquiya. He now owes the world a slice of lemon and salt.
This anti-Pope is an advocate of “social justice” aka communism and also wants to forge a one-world religion. Therefore, he will NOT say anything negative about islam.
/a nominal Catholic, but thinking of leaving the Church because of this anti-Pope
This Pope sucks. Nothing he says is mysterious if you keep that fact in mind.
I prefer lime with my taqqyia (or however its spelled)...
it’s*
The Pope is very smart and that’s what makes him dangerous.
This too shall pass.
He’s a South American Marxist above all.
I’ve long run out of excuses for the fool. Time to start up the smoke stack and get a real Catholic leader.
Does anyone really care what Frankie the idiot pope says?
Yes.
Agree
Demoncrats, tree huggers, homos, socialists and abortionists care.
The present incumbent is a usurper, of course.
Are exactly how is the doctrine of “papal infallibility” defined? This guy’s a wanna be flamer.
The College of Cardinals must have infiltrated over the past decades by Communists, just like all the other opinion-making professions.
Another profession, like the Supreme Court, and Congress, that should not be for life. Eight years max, total, and then you’re out of there.
