Anyway if nothing else matters then I hope people remember that Pope Francis used his last public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and call Israel a terrorist state:

"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."

"O demônio existe e se revela no ódio e na opressão. Antes de ter medo do pecado, meu filho, tenha medo da virtude, quando ela for triste e quiser limitar o homem. A virtude é o oposto da tristeza, o pecado é o oposto da alegria."

Mars

Artist: Baron Antoine Jean Gros (French, 1771-1835)

Date: 1825

Medium: Oil on Wood

Collection: Private Collection

In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Mars is the god of war and also an agricultural guardian, a combination characteristic of early Rome. He is the son of Jupiter and Juno, and was pre-eminent among the Roman army's military gods. Most of his festivals were held in March, the month named for him, and in October, the months which traditionally began and ended the season for both military campaigning and farming.
