ROME – Pope Francis told young Europeans Monday that it is “legitimate to rebel” when a “few powerful people” decide to send them to “fight and die” in a war. He defined the fighting in Ukraine as “senseless,” and argued that if younger generations governed today, there wouldn’t be as many global conflicts.
Francis, who hails from Argentina, known for its beef production and consumption, also said that in some parts of the world, it would be a good idea to “consume less meat” to help save the environment.
Addressing participants of a European Youth Conference, the pope said the “senseless” conflict in Ukraine, “which is not in the EU, but is Europe,” and numerous conflicts taking place in different parts of the world, shows that an educational pact that promotes fraternity is “urgent.”
“The idea of a united Europe arose from a powerful yearning for peace in the wake of the numerous wars fought on this continent, and it led to a 70-year period of peace,” he said. “Now, we must all commit ourselves to putting an end to this dreadful war, where, as usual, a few powerful people decide and send thousands of young people to fight and die. In cases like this, it is legitimate to rebel!”
Francis also pointed out that even though it is true that there wouldn’t be so many wars if the world was ruled by women – “because those who have the mission of giving life cannot make death choices” – the same would be true if the rulers were young people, because they wouldn’t want the future awaiting them to be thrown away.

Thanks pope retardo.
People with money want climate policy to be carried out.
Elon Musk met the Pope the other week and we all know that Elon makes electric cars.
The Church has to pay all kinds of damages to child abuse victims.
Sounds like a Cult leader
But it's only Bergoglio's "women" who can give legal permission to abort their own babies.
So much for women "cannot make death choices".
This moron is as senile and corrupt as Xiden.
I’m so tired of this fake.
He’s a nutjob.
Eat more pasta. Lot's a pasta!
I don’t think Frankie has missed many meals.
Throughout the course of history, there have been excellent Popes. Average Popes, and Disastrous Popes. Francis sets the bar for disastrous Popes. That said, The Church is Bigger than any one man/Pope.
He sounds crazy.
And now, with a side of “Less War!”
It’s clear at this point that the Pope is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the WEF.
Maybe he should run for office since he has all the answers 🤪
“forbidding to eat meat”
I Timothy 4
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every ........
If Frankie actually believes that “the European youth” are listening to anything he says, he might want to go see a shrink and try to make his way back to the real world.
Make Less War,
Eat Less Meat,
Rub Ripe Bananas on Both Your Feet
You’ve Got To Do It Because I Say,
Bow To Pagan Gods and Convert To Gay,
Only I Know What God Means Today.
