Al Jazeera says that the church was shot at directly by a tank. Other articles only use the word “strike”.
Pope won’t even name who did it lol.
I’m more convinced than ever that he’s an Opus Dei sleeper agent who Francis never should’ve trusted
I know people from the opus dei, i’ll try to dig their opinion on him.
He can blame the victim with a “quit slapping yourself” vibe so that the culprits can rejoice.

The deus vult guys should be all over this. It’s the perfect opportunity for Pope Leo to consolidate power by calling a Crusade against the Zionist Entity. I would unironically join the Catholic Church and go on Crusade, as I’m sure would many.
“You think the pope is a lib because he’s too ‘woke.’ I think he’s a lib for not declaring a crusade on Isreal and AI. We are not the same.”

Holy wars: famously minimal in their civilian casualties, targeted in their destruction, and compact in their duration.
Edit: One of the times the Catholics did this, they consumed the flesh of their slain enemies. Really the less they are involved in whatever happens there the better.
If the Catholic Crusader armies want to consume the flesh of their slain IDF enemies they’re allowed to, a little, as a treat. I honestly cannot give less of a shit about “civilian causalities” in a holy war against the Zionist Entity.
Okay but like its not just Israelis who live there. Do you think Palestinian Muslims would do well if we let tradcaths decide where the bombs were dropped. Then again this is pointless. The pope can’t call a crusade, American Catholics who actually say the deus vult shit are functionally protestants and the rest of the Catholic world isnt going to give enough of a shit. Like if you think Lula or Sheinbaum are going to organise an invading army on behalf of Leo you’re just not connected to reality.
This is obviously a shit post, yes there will be no holy crusade, and Pope Leo is not raising an army lol. Dude met with Ben Shapiro and the VP, he’s not going against Western imperialism in any sense.
People treating a “the Pope in 2025 should execute an armed international crusade into Israel in real life” post with absolute seriousness, and then telling you to touch grass, has to be one of my favorite HB bits
what’s a little cannibalism when your enemy spermjacks their own soldiers?
I’m gonna let you work through that little moral conundrum on your own.
catholics can have little a cannibalism, as a treat.
Catholics are already having a little cannibalism as a treat, that’s the entire point of transubstantiation
Im not trying to defend the Catholic Church here. It is an institution that as far as I can tell have been right on precisely one issue in 1000 years (Eugenics, they were opposed). But the last crusade was in like the 17th century, even if you’re only counting crusades in the middle east we’re in the 14th or 15h century.
Okay but why do we need “unironic” religiously motivated conflict to stop the genocide? Look up the religion of the people they were eating, it’s not like the Deus Vult guys are going to stop with Jews. This whole thing isn’t even funny as a bit, it’s just unhinged.
I don’t think an actual crusading army would be a humanitarian force, I don’t believe i said they would be. In fact I think its pointed out that I don’t consider the Catholic Church to be that moral an actor. I’m simply pointing out that there were 600 years of religious war crimes after what you said was the last time they did this.

“Ooops we ‘’‘’‘’‘‘accidentally’’‘’‘’’ conquered Istanbul again.”
being based is not on their repertoire.
Real actual “Where is your god now” hours.
The church knew what it was doing when it picked an American pope. Get closer with Europe since he is anti-trump, and align with NATO and American status-quo because he would never insult Israel
I read somewhere that part of the reason why they picked a yanqui pope is that rich yanquis are some of the only people still donating to the Vatican.
You can take the pope out of America but you can’t take America out of the pope.
If he had balls he’d move the entire papacy temporarily to that church and use his and all the other old fucks bodies as human shields for the innocent people.
“military attack”, whose military you fucking stooge.
A friend recently told me about how they make a habit of attacking Christian churches during Easter. It’s wild how Evangelicals support them.
It’s a means to an end. Just like everything else they do.
