Here’s the problem with Papacy when it comes to war and international event. They each speak out against every conflict, but then now lament what happens when evil is not confronted.
Stalin responded derisively, “The pope! How many divisions has he got?” The Pope wages spiritual warfare. The people of God are like sheep and many become martyrs. I wish we could wrest the kingdoms of this world from the adversary but we have to be patient for that day while we resist evil. Obama is unlikely to intervene militarily to save anyone except fellow Muslims. That was the cost of his election. Who does he serve ?
