ROME — Pope Francis has written to his “Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel,” exhorting them to break the “incessant cycles” of war and hatred in the Holy Land.

Since October 7 the Holy Land “has been cast into a spiral of unprecedented violence,” the pontiff writes. “My heart is torn at the sight of what is happening in the Holy Land, by the power of so much division and so much hatred.”

In his letter, the pope laments the manifestations of “anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism” that have emerged during the conflict, underscoring the “particular and singular” relationship binding Jews to Catholics.

He didn’t install himself in office. The College of Cardinals met and elected him. They sent up the white smoke.

Like him or not Catholics are stuck on this one because it’s what THEIR church leadership decided to do.

I thought the IDF was doing just that. Breaking the ‘’incessant cycle of violence’’ by ending , with extreme prejudice the lives of the people who keep killing Israelis.
