THE POPE AND PEACE

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARYDECEMBER 26, 2024

     POPE FRANCIS DELIVERED A CHRISTMAS DAY ADDRESS IN WHICH HE CALLED FOR WORLD PEACE.

     HE SAID: “MAY THE SOUND OF ARMS BE SILENCED IN WAR-TORN UKRAINE. MAY THERE BE THE BOLDNESS TO OPEN THE DOOR TO NEGOTIATION AND TO GESTURES OF DIALOGUE AND ENCOUNTER, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A JUST AND LASTING PEACE.”

     ALL WORTHY SENTIMENTS, BUT THERE WILL BE NO PEACE, MUCH LESS GOODWILL TOWARDS MEN UNTIL JESUS RETURNS, PUTS SIN AND DEATH TO DEATH AND ESTABLISHES HIS KINGDOM WHICH WILL NEVER END. AS ISAIAH 9:7 SAYS, AND THE POPE SHOULD KNOW AND PREACH THIS, “HIS (THAT IS JESUS’) GOVERNMENT, SHALL BE GREAT, AND OF HIS PEACE THERE IS NO END; IT SHALL BE UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, AND UPON HIS KINGDOM, TO ESTABLISH IT AND SUPPORT IT.”

     MEN FIGHT AND WAR WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT MADE PEACE WITH GOD. AND SO HE HAS GIVEN OVER TO THOSE WHO WON’T ACCEPT HIS SON AS SAVIOUR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR SIN. THIS IS WHAT SCRIPTURE TEACHES AND WHAT HISTORY PROVES. BETTER FOR THE POPE TO PREACH THIS, RATHER THAN ISSUING MESSAGES THAT DON’T GIVE THE CAUSE, MUCH LESS THE SOLUTION, TO THE FIGHTING AMONG US. I’M CAL THOMAS.
