He didn’t stay silent. In fact, Israel was quite angry with him because he didn’t shut up about Gaza. Apparently, he called the local church every evening to check in on the situation.
Many leaders are way too silent on the matter, but the late Pope was not one of them.
I looked it up and looks like I was wrong. Not sure why I had that believe, or whether it was a wrong assumption or I was misinformed by someone. Thanks.
Yeah. Wow, he gave them a car. I guess it’s something, but the Catholic Church has a really deep Karmic hole they need to dig their way out of and this is just a teaspoon of dirt.
The story of the hummingbird is about this huge forest being consumed by a fire. All the animals in the forest come out and they are transfixed as they watch the forest burning and they feel very overwhelmed, very powerless, except this little hummingbird. It says, ‘I’m going to do something about the fire!’ So it flies to the nearest stream and takes a drop of water. It puts it on the fire, and goes up and down, up and down, up and down, as fast as it can.
In the meantime all the other animals, much bigger animals like the elephant with a big trunk that could bring much more water, they are standing there helpless. And they are saying to the hummingbird, ‘What do you think you can do? You are too little. This fire is too big. Your wings are too little and your beak is so small that you can only bring a small drop of water at a time.’
But as they continue to discourage it, it turns to them without wasting any time and it tells them, ‘I am doing the best I can.’
And that to me is what all of us should do. We should always be like a hummingbird. I may be insignificant, but I certainly don’t want to be like the animals watching the planet goes down the drain. I will be a hummingbird, I will do the best I can.
Judging the Catholic church for continually welding it’s power to shield child abusers but doing little more than virtue signaling and token optics on genocide.
If the Pope gave a shit, he’d have gone himself and done something about it. WWJD?
Agree, I meannice gesture and might really help some kidsbut it’s almost a joke after staying silent on the genocide.He didn’t stay silent.

You’re really analogizing the Catholic Church, one of the largest and richest organizations on the planet, to a hummingbird?
Just do what you can and don’t judge others for what they do or barely do.
No, I think I’m going to go ahead and judge others, because who else is going to?
