Why is this oniony? He’s a religious leader after all, isn’t that what he’s supposed to say?

Nothing would be good. I would much prefer for him to talk about how the Catholic heaven can be a good place if pets don't get into it.

If you were to glass Jerusalem with a nuclear bomb, would that not resolve a good part of believer tension?
RokuroCarisu t1_iy3tet3 wrote
No, it wouldn't.
I'm writing a book where exactly that happened; after a new cult emerged, declared a crusade against all monotheism, and is winning mostly because no country in the Near and Middle East was seriously willing to ally with any other against them anymore.

Look up how often Christian priests/monks have gotten into fistfights in Jerusalem over control of holy sites. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre has to give its key to a Muslim family since they can't agree among themselves

Think you need to be introduced to this crazy thing called the last 2000 years my guy. But specifically any of the crusades where Christians tried to genocide the entire region
Technical-Cell816 t1_iy2yr6u wrote
How about the history of the caliphate, turning a whole region Muslim by force?

Seems like an unrelated point, just trying to say christianity isn't any better. Plus christianity has done the same in Iberia during the spanish inquisition, plus everything that happened in south america after its discovery. Also most of christian history has been oppressing various religious and cultural groups

For a guy who lives in a giant fort and wears pajamas all day, the Pope has built more credibility than any political leader I can name right now
