The pope should issue an edict for all Catholics to resign from military forces. Otherwise, he is just trying to score cheap political points. This is a moment of truth. Let him please follow through and not flinch.
After all, the pope sits on a pile of gold looted through bloody genocide, for centuries, from all over the world, in the middle of a private city state in the middle of Rome. Professes poverty, puts on a big show of worship that the pharisees would be envious of. Protects pedophiles and hides behind bullet proof glass. Wears a dress and tells people that being gay is wrong. John Paul 2's apology was bullshit, because the Catholic church hasn't changed. It's a cult of old white men, doomed to always elect old white men as popes, now available in American flavor. Vatican-heads will never elect a 37 year old Japanese woman as their leader.
I was personally assaulted at a Catholic charity organization, in 2025, and brought it up with the leaders of the group. They didn't take any responsibility, and inflicted further pain on me. Enough of the token cannibalism crap already. Be a good person first, and a good Christian second.
