Pope Condemns Allied Forces For Not Just Talking It Out With Nazis | Babylon Bee
. . . "We must not stoop to violence against Nazis," said Pope Leo in a general address. "When the Nazis loaded millions of people into gas chambers, that was the time for sincere dialogue. If only the Allied Powers had laid down their weapons and just hugged it out with Nazis, peace could have returned once more." . . .
"Following his meeting with Obama strategist David Axelrod, Pope Leo XIV came out with some of his wokest, most indistinguishable-from-Democratic Party platform statements ever -- all within a day of the encounter.
"Which gave whiplash to many Catholics, whose churchgoing members tend to skew conservative, with the younger, more energetic ones, including many converts, leaning traditional.
"The pope condemned all wars in full pacificism, scrapping the Church's thousand-year-old 'just war' doctrine, urged global income redistribution, moved closer to Pope Francis's call for a universal basic income, called on 'those involved' to contact their local leaders to urge peace, claimed the military action was motivated by business, and said the solution to all conflicts to be addressed through "dialogue."
"All of the calls were extreme, and in extremity, absurd. After all, is he really telling Iran's battered citizens being machine-gunned in the streets by Iranian government goons to get their local mullahs on the phone and tell them to stop waging war?
"That gave the satirical site, the Babylon Bee, which is an equal-opportunity humor outfit, plenty to work with. They put out these tweets: . . .
. . . "The remarks from the pope were intensely distressing to Catholics, including myself, who are familiar with traditional Church teaching on just war theory, as well as current Democrat party partisan talking points, while also having no desire to loathe Pope Leo. That the Bee could see the contradictions and make humor out of them was a terrific way to deal with this intractable situation. Humor is the best medicine, so good for the Bee!"
