mOne view is that Merz planned the trip to Israel at precisely this time for propaganda reasons. He is under immense pressure in Germany. He pushed a fraudulent pension package through the Bundestag. His corrupt friend Zelinsky, with the help of German Christians, managed to oppose Trump's peace plan in Ukraine. Russia then escalated the war, and Ukraine subsequently escalated the war. This cost several hundred lives within a week or two. Who started it?
dThis often cannot be said in escalations. At the current stage, it was Zelenskyy who rejected Trump's peace plan, with the support of Merz, who was able to directly benefit from the escalation in Ukraine. He was able to conjure up the threat of a Russian attack on NATO and, to this end, lie using associative and emotional propaganda. Their lies and cover-up propaganda made it easier for politically organized Christians to introduce conscription in Germany, with the promise of making Germany the strongest military power in Europe again, with the corresponding arms industry. What Germany is currently experiencing is a populist, jingoistic, patriotic weaponization of words. Pope Francis had fought against this. The weaponization of words has led to a situation where military conflicts cannot be ended and some conflicts are escalating further.

one year after Pope Francis praised Erdogan while still in hospital.

This is the first time I've seen a picture of Pope Francis and Pope Leo on Vatican News. We can order devotional items. The Pope thanks Cardinal Leo for also praying the Rosary for peace during the Roman Marian Week.
We're going on to the second leg of ChtFtits on December 8th.
