Pope Warns Of World Ravaged By ‘tyrants’ In The Wake Of Trump Attacks by God1000(op): 7:05am On Apr 17
Pope Leo warned that the world is being ravaged by “tyrants,” in forceful comments made after US President Donald Trump attacked the pontiff for his stance on the war with Iran.

Leo has emerged as strong critic of the conflict and his speech again preached a message of peace and rebuked leaders using religious language to justify war.

The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters,” Leo said in a speech during a visit to Cameroon’s largest city, Bamenda, on Thursday.

This pope should be calming down. Attacking Trump all the time is not going to end well for him. He may be removed if care is not taken. Or, he should drop his collar and join politics.

It's funny how you've left tyrants like Putin and the Iranian regime and be focusing on God's chosen president Trump. Well your identity has been unmasked my Muslim friend😆, so continue with your propaganda and ur hate for Trump and and the sovereign state of Israel.

The funny thing now is some trump supporters will now disown their pope.

As for me, thou shalt not support any side in any war.
Re: Pope Warns Of World Ravaged By ‘tyrants’ In The Wake Of Trump Attacks by othermen:
This is not a sermon for the lay Catholics in Cameroon. It is a sermon best shared at the UN General Assembly.

Can the pope not care about those in same-sex relations subject to vigilante violence in Cameroon, or speak to Biya, who has been the de facto leader for 5 decades?

Someone has to also tell the pope that the moral weight of his speech is not only in its truth but in its foreseeable effects.

He implies that America wrought "killings and devastation" and that they have ravaged the world.

He neglects how it will be received by disordered minds.

In Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al-Shabaab camps or other camps that traffic in violence, they share the words of the Pope with their recruits. The words confirm their grievance. The words are repurposed as validation: not a call to repentance or restraint, but a license for retaliation.

A pope who neglects prudence would have his words bent into the service of evil.


Somebody said, "The pope is speaking truth to power." They do not ask if the manner, timing, and audience of that truth actually serve the good it intends?

The Pope is performing for us all. Building his reputation. Spectacle.

And only in America, where institutional checks exist (courts, press, opposition) can there be a stage for public denunciation that won't expose local adherents to reprisals. Not Russia, Not China.

Prudence is not cowardice, and the Pope must reckon with discretion.

Private counsel can carry a weight that public rebuke cannot precisely because it is not entangled in performance or political signaling.

Removed by who?
This won't be the 1st or last time that popes and politicians goals have clashed.
Research history to find out about popes clashes with emperors over the centuries

What is the worse Trump can do: kill him?

Is Trump going to leave this earth alive?

So he should shy away from telling the world truths because another human is threatening everyone with bombing and sanctions?

Look, there are people who aren't cowards.

Nigerians love to claim 'good' people but if people on nairaland are used to rate Nigerians, then Nigerians are one of the worse on earth.

Cruel, demonic in nature and hungry for innocent blood

They just love clapping for oppressors as long as they're not the one at the end's wit.

In some cases, they love their oppressors as long as he's from their religion or ethnicity even if he serves them their own relative's blood to drink.

The islamic tyrants destroying countries all over the world for decades with their terrorism has never been a problem for the Pope, it is when Israel and Trump are bombarding them all, that's when this neanderthal remembers he has mouth to spew trash. Catholic church has so fallen beyond redemption that the Pope is busy as.slicking Islamic countries when the bible specifically said that "do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"

Smh
