Pope Francis has suggested that World War III is already in progress, as evidenced by “intertwined elements” at work in the Russia-Ukraine crisis and other conflicts across the globe.
“A few years ago, it occurred to me to say that we are experiencing a third world war fought piecemeal,” the head of the Catholic Church said in a May 19 interview with Jesuit media outlets that was published on Tuesday. “Today, for me, World War III has been declared.”
The Pope noted that while the fighting in Ukraine “pricks our sensibilities more,” wars also are ongoing in such places as northern Nigeria and Myanmar, “and nobody cares.” He added, “The world is at war. This is something that should give us pause for thought.”
What is happening to humanity that has had three world wars in a century … ? You have to think that in a century there have been three world wars, with all the arms trade behind it.
Acknowledging criticism for his failure to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin and his past comments suggesting that NATO expansion onto Russia’s doorstep might have provoked the crisis, the pontiff denied being “pro-Putin.” He said such a claim would be “simplistic and erroneous.”
“I am simply against turning a complex situation into a distinction between good guys and bad guys, without considering the roots and self-interests, which are very complex,” he said. “While we witness the ferocity and cruelty of Russian troops, we should not forget the problems and seek to solve them.”
Asked how the Jesuit editors should report on the Eastern European conflict in a way that contributes to a peaceful future, Francis replied, “We have to get away from the common mindset of Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red Riding Hood was good, and the wolf was the bad guy. Here, there are no metaphysical good guys and bad guys, in the abstract. Something global is emerging, with elements that are closely intertwined with each other.”
He also cautioned against focusing only on the “brutality and ferocity” of the conflict. “The danger is that we only see this, which is monstrous, and miss the whole drama that is unfolding behind this war, which was perhaps somehow either provoked or not prevented. I also note the interest in testing and selling weapons. It is very sad, but at the end of the day, that is what is at stake.”
Francis praised the heroism of the Ukrainian people in defending their country, but he pointed to outside interests putting them in peril. “What is before our eyes is a situation of world war, global interests, arms sales, and geopolitical appropriation, which is martyring a heroic people,” he said.
The pontiff reiterated his concern, first made public in an interview last month, that NATO may have instigated Moscow’s military offensive against Kiev. He recalled a conversation with a head of state, whom he identified only as “a wise man,” a couple of months before the fighting began. “He told me that he was very concerned about the way NATO was acting. I asked him why, and he said, ‘They are barking at the gates of Russia, and they don’t understand that the Russians are imperial and they will not allow any foreign power to approach them.’”
Francis also warned that after many of Ukraine’s Western backers “opened their hearts” to the women and children fleeing the country in the early days of the conflict, support for its refugees is already “cooling down.” He added, “Who will take care of these women? We need to look beyond the concrete action of the moment and see how we will support them so that they don’t fall into human trafficking or end up being used, because the vultures are already circling.”
The obvious solution for this excess of women is to not only legalize polygamy but also ENCOURAGE IT. Tell men to have more wives, after all the Bible does not forbid it, churches forbid it and these women need to be fruitful. As single women they are vulnerable to “vultures”. In fact ancient Judeo-Christian law was both monogamous and polygamous.
Monogamy was a social law forced by the pagan Romans and then carried on into Christianity. That is the logical answer to “Who will take care of these women?”
Homosexuality is explicitly FORBIDDEN throughout the Bible in multiple verses yet it is legal in our societies and the church has even begun to accept it as something normal.
Polygamy is NOT forbidden in the Bible, but only regulated, like what you should do and not do in a polygamous relationship, yet this is illegal and the church doesn’t even wanna hear about it as if this is some sort of ultimate sin… as if this is the sin of all sins but its not even categorized as a sin. It is something like “unpreferred”. God’s plan for humans is, YES monogamous, YET if they choose to do polygamy, He allows them. God’s position on polygamy is something like “Ok you can do this and its not really a sin but I prefer you wouldn’t do this.”
Now with an excess of women, what else is the solution? Are we just gonna pretend like everything is fine? Lets say a country has a population of 5 million women and 2 million men because of excess of migrant women or something or maybe the country has been through a war and many men died…. isn’t it logical and normal for that country to encourage polygamy?? Or would it be better for these extra women to simply go have bastard children with random married men who will not commit to them and protect and provide for them? Is this how much the church cares about women? Let them marry into an existing couple, in fact they would even be better assimilated into an existing family than starting from zero their own family.
