That will go down well.....why didn't the Pope write a letter to Hitler condemning the senseless massacre of the Jews (and JWs)....too late to get a conscience now. How many wars has the Catholic Church been involved in throughout the centuries? From the Guardian: "In the latest salvo in a growing anti-war movement within the Vatican, Francis called on world leaders to seek a peaceful solution to the crisis. Syria is not officially on the agenda of the G20 summit but Francis urged world leaders to see the conflict as, among many things, an obstacle to economic development. "Without peace, there can be no form of economic development," he wrote. "Violence never begets peace, the necessary condition for development." The international deliberations over Syria have led the Vatican to flex its diplomatic muscle in recent days. The Argentinian pontiff used his Angelus blessing on Sunday to insist: "It is never the use of violence that leads to peace." Later in the week, he sent a series of tweets reinforcing his stance, one of them declaring, in its English version: "War never again! Never again war!" On Saturday evening, the efforts will come to a climax with a prayer vigil for peace led by Francis in St Peter's Square. The vigil, which is expected to last until 11pm, will be open to all people of "good will", the pope said, whether they are Catholics, Christians, people of different religions or no religion. He also called for a day of fasting for peace around the world." If it makes me sick to see them sticking their nose in to political affairs, I wonder how the "kings of the earth" feel.
