Pope Francis decried Israeli 'terrorism' in Gaza (2023)

Pope Francis, who died on April 21 at age 88, spent much of his final months advocating for peace in the Holy Land. In October 2023, he criticized Israeli attacks against civilians in Gaza as "terrorism," including the killing of Palestinian Christians by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Catholic Parish.

And then he was suddenly gone.... Even good people from Christianity and Judaism are calling out Israel and the genocide but millions are choosing to side with evil zionists for temporary benefits in this temporary world 🌎 may Pope Francis rest in peace. Ameen 🙏

Guess what else scripture says? Israel is like a sleeping lion those don’t dare wake it, then you awoke the lion.💯

If the church was just the pope without all the middlemen, I wouldn't have become an atheist.

As a traditional catholic I disagreed with a lot of what he was doing, then I came to love him for his pure, unwavering faith. RIP

Wonder if the new Pope will be compassionate?

I really appreciate this Pope. He uses truthful words about terrorism, while prejudiced exploiters tell lies in open daylight.
