Why is the Pope not talking night and day about the Sudan genocide?

Question

He is a moral leader is he night? What race is the Pope, what race are they in Sudan? I am not saying the Pope is racist, not saying that, just asking the questions, you draw your on conclusions.

Answer 1

Maybe the people who are being killed aren't Catholic, O Advocative One. The Holy Mother Church has had the unfortunate habit (bahahaha) of being tight-lipped about the killings of entire communities...unless you're on a Crusade.
Oh...by the way...is it true you can shoot lightening bolts from your eyes?

Answer 2

I sure am glad you're not saying that the Pope is racist, because then I'd have to say that you're wrong. If you'll notice there is an African person on his Papal Crest. He explains the reason being, "it is an expression of the universality of the church which knows no distinctions of race or class since all are one in Christ." These are his own words.

I am a Catholic, and, for your information, I happen to be working with Sudanese refugees as an Apostolate, so don't think for a second that the Church isn't doing anything.

Answer 3

Hi Jim! The pope cares about non issues.

Answer 4

Hopefully he's not racist. It somewhat smacks of the Pope during WW2 not speaking out against the persecution of the Jews.

Answer 5

According to Catholics, the pope is God.

The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God. and the vicar of God.

Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions.

The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under veil of flesh

is the pope really infalable?

In First Christmas Homily, Pope Reflects on World Conflicts
Four stories:

From the "New York Times"...

In his first Christmas address, Pope Benedict XVI prayed Sunday for peace in poorer, war-torn parts of the world as he warned the more comfortable that they "risk becoming victims of their own intellectual and technical achievements."

"The modern age is often seen as an awakening of reason from its slumbers, humanity's enlightenment after an age of darkness," Benedict said on this rainy Christmas in Rome.

"Wake up, O men and women of the third millennium!" Benedict said on a rainy Christmas day from the balcony at St. Peter's Basilica, where he first appeared as pope in April.

"The modern age is often seen as an awakening of reason from its slumbers, humanity's enlightenment after an age of darkness.

"Yet without the light of Christ, the light of reason is not sufficient to enlighten humanity and the world. For this reason, the words of the Christmas Gospel - 'the true light that enlightens every man was coming into this world' - resound now more than ever as a proclamation of salvation."

His message, the traditional papal "Urbi et Orbi," a sermon to Rome and to the world, was greeted warmly - and quite loudly in some corners closest to the basilica - by the three ever-present components of this city: Romans, tourists, and nuns and priests from around the world.

The cheers seemed most enthusiastic when he continued a tradition started by his predecessor, John Paul II, sending Christmas greetings in 32 languages, including his native German, and Arabic, Swahili and Latin.

Wearing a bishop's mitre and cape, both in gold, Benedict stuck to his prepared remarks, but he has lost all the seeming hesitancy of his early days as pope.

He seemed relaxed and warm, waving to acknowledge the cheers, even though to some in the crowd it seemed as much the first Christmas without the charismatic John Paul as the first with the more reserved Benedict.

"Italians love him, even if he is different from John Paul II," said Valter Cassar, 52, a military official from Rome, standing in the light rain on St. Peter's Square.

His wife, Rita, said: "He is our pope. For Italians, it is like this. For Catholics, it is like this."

The square itself, as always, was transformed for Christmas: In front of the ancient obelisk, there stood the traditional life-sized crèche, blessed on Christmas Eve by Benedict before a crowded midnight Mass in St. Peter's, and a 100-foot-tall tree from Austria, decked in silver and gold balls.

The themes in Benedict's Christmas homily are ones he has often addressed. He has expressed his concern for decades that modern man has put himself at a distance from God, reflected in the diminishing church attendance in Europe. In the weeks running up Christmas, he said frequently that Christmas was about God's love, not about expensive presents.

Also in keeping with Vatican tradition, he used his holiday message to reflect on parts of the world that are in conflict. In his address on Sunday, Benedict called for an end to the wars in Africa, citing especially the Darfur region of Sudan. He referred to "signs of hope, which are not lacking," in Iraq, Lebanon and Israel. He also called for continued dialogue over North Korea's nuclear ambitions.

He also called for a "new world order based on just ethical and economic relationships."
