The Pope says the world is at war, obviously he emphasis it isn't a religious war, no, it's a war for money, against christians and atheists, it's a war for natural resources, against jews, it's a war for domination of people, against Yzidis, Buddhists and Hindus, it's definitely not a religious war. pope is smart and knows that if he says it's a religious war against Radical Muslims that totally do not represent Islam, lotta more christians gonna be beheaded in Africa and the Middle East (the few that remained in the region) by Jihadists that totally do not represent Islam.
From the bit that WSJ allows me to read (stupid paywall), it seems like he meant that we have all forgotten how to live in peace, or something, dunno.....
"We" have all forgotten? how the hell are "we" responsible for these last acts of atrocities?!
He means we as in humanity I would assume.
So because these Islamists were humans, we are all to blame for their actions?
It would be nice if we could read the whole thing so that we'd know exactly what he meant and not leave it open to interpretation.
What the pope said, pulled from the WSJ article (the paywall can be circumvented by accessing the page from a google search rather than clicking the link) :
“This holy priest, who died just at the moment that he offered the prayer for the whole church, is one (victim). But how many Christians, how many innocents, how many children?” the pope said, also making a reference to attacks on Christians in Nigeria. “Let’s not be afraid to state this reality. The world is at war because it has lost the peace.”
The pope added that the current violence was over economic and political interests rather than religion. “There is war for money,” he said. “There is war for natural resources. There is war for the domination of peoples. Some might think I am speaking of religious war. No. All religions want peace; it is other people who want war.”
