The Appalling Killing Of Innocent Civilians Must Stop – Pope Francis

Pope Francis has come out to blast the weapons industry and its instruments of death that fuel wars around the globe.

He recently called for an end to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he grieved the abominable attack of Hamas against southern Israel on October 7, and he can only call for the appalling harvest of innocent civilian all in the name of war to stop.

Pope Francis added that the biblical story of the birth of Christ in Bethlehem sent a message of peace, so the world should embrace that this Christmas.

His words, “It should be talked about and written about, so as to bring to light the interests and the profits that move the puppet strings of war.

And how can we even speak of peace when arms production, sales and trade are on the rise?”

WOW.
