Zone1 Huh, so what do you make of the Pope's statement?

Stick around, I'll try to say some more obtusely stupid things for your benefit.
Let me get my pencil and paper so I can take notes.

Jesus taught...
Yep, I know what Jesus taught, but that was 2000 years ago and he could have hardly anticipated the current situation. Even our Constitution got a bill of rights added to it.

Sometimes circumstances require effective resolution beyond peace, brotherhood and turning the other cheek, especially when there can be no peace nor brotherhood with the other party.

Case in point: I caught a video by a young guy in Iran the other day and while being bombed out of existence with missiles flying over his head, he said it was far preferable to the situation people living in Iran faced as it was with the IRGC, and encouraged the military attacks against the mullahs to continue.

I'm not seeing anything in the OP that should make me as outraged as you are.
 
I'm not the slightest bit outraged. Strike Two.
Post 25 says otherwise.

Can you walk me through what was so bad about this and how it wasn't preaching the gospel?

We hunger for a future imbued with hope that is capable of engendering a new sense of justice and producing fruits of peace and fraternity. This is not an unknown future that we must passively await, but rather one that we ourselves are called to build with God’s grace.

May the Lord help you to become a society in which everyone, each according to their respective responsibilities, works ever more fully to serve the common good rather than private interests, bridging the gap between the privileged and the disadvantaged. May there be greater room for freedom, and may the dignity of the human person always be safeguarded.
 
If the man in the pointy hat which sits on his throne in Rome really said that then it raises some doubt about his leanings. Seems very socialist to me.

- how the pope's have not been socialist speaks volumes about christianity ...

not sure anyone doubts their leanings who are criticizing them - its what other way they believe the pope should be leaning is where the desert dwellers truly go crazy ....
