Marxist garbage, coming from the Pope. Perhaps he might mention how the CCP persecute Christians and crush dissent with murder and "organ harvesting". But that wouldn't play as well. Is he getting his talking points from Obama & Axelrod? YIKES.

I am not trying to make my Catholic friends, who I love, angry with this statement. But this entire episode is starting to explain to me why so many Americans were concerned about a Catholic president for so long. I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy.

Six million people. That’s how many have been forced from their homes in just over two years across Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. In Gaza, displacement has become a repeated reality. Entire neighborhoods have been destroyed, while Israeli evacuation orders have pushed civilians from one area to another, often into places that are later targeted again. Today, the vast majority of Gaza’s population has been displaced, many of them multiple times. Source: UN OCHA - Gaza Situation Reports . In Lebanon, escalating Israeli airstrikes have driven more than a million people from their homes. Towns in the south, the Bekaa, and parts of Beirut have emptied rapidly, as civilians fled under the threat of continued bombardment. Source: UNHCR; UN OCHA - Lebanon Updates . In Iran, the widening scope of the conflict has forced millions to flee major cities, as regional attacks intensified and fears of further escalation spread. Source: UNHCR - Iran Displacement Report . According to UN agencies and humanitarian reporting, this level of displacement is not random. It reflects a pattern seen across different fronts: sustained military pressure, forced movement, and the steady erosion of any place civilians can safely remain. Different countries. Different contexts. But the same result: Mass displacement not as an accident of war, but as one of its defining outcomes.
