    In the time we live in, all Onion article headlines could easily be real and all real headlines could be from the Onion.

    seems pretty on brand for the church, I would expect a post in not the onion to subvert expectations.

    The article belongs but the headline could be phrased more oniony

    Well, it is a two-sided war (as in, nobody is being innocent, strictly speaking). And the pope stepping in does come across as a bandwagon move. Whether it’s the intention or not, it also probably echoes old medieval biases. One might say it’s like the teacher who already doesn’t like you singling you out in an all-encompassing food fight.

      It is not a two-sided war, it’s one-sided genocide.

          US Department of State link, how classy. What would you link for Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Der Sturmer?

      I guess it’s a David and Goliath sort of thing, but David got absolutely and desicively squashed again and again, and also his wife and kids.

        Was this after David traumatized Goliath by raining fire on him and his home and blasting his medicine cabinet while blaming it on him?

        History always has nuance. This is no exception.

          In this comparison and scale, David’s attack would be like pinching Goliath.

            But is Goliath really squashing David again and again, considering David is still there all in one piece? David has also crossed religions and asked Baba Yaga and Devadutta for weapons and manpower. As I said, it’s a dirty fight. I’m not wholly siding with either David or Goliath here, they would both be paying damages if this manifested as a legal trial.
