The church should stay out of politics. Period.
This is a political position not a Catholic or religious one.

Start using past tense when discussing the Catholic Church coverup of priests’ sexual abuse of children. Unless you have current knowledge to the contrary, then use past tense when talking about history.

Keep in mind that Parolin is not Pope due to his extensive ties with the CCP.

That pesky historical Crusades thing must be a tough mental hurdle.

So we have Vatican City (Religion) & City of London (Financial) all up in arms at the same time because the District of Columbia (Military) is "going rogue"?

VATICAN CITY, March 4 (Reuters) - The Vatican's top diplomat warned on Wednesday that the ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran undermine international law and ?said nations do not have a right to launch "preventive wars", ?in an unusually direct criticism of the military campaign.
"If states were to be recognised as having a right to 'preventive war' … the entire world could risk going ?up in flames," Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of ?State, said in an interview with Vatican News.
When are we going to revoke tax exemptions for "churches" that comment on political matters? Don't get me wrong, the Vatican has a right to express their opinion and most certainly peace should be at the forefront of that opinion, but they DO NOT have a right to tax exemption.

the Vatican needs to tear down their wall before commenting

The Vatican needs to shut the frick up and work on getting right with God after all the shite they've covered up over the years.

Stick with Catholic Doctrine leave these matters to the Nations.

The Vatican is full of homosexual degenerates why would or should I take anything they say seriously?

what is their stance on preventative pedophilia?
That’s a pretty weak straw-man. The quote you’re responding to is about preventive war between nations under international law, and instead of addressing that, you jumped to an unrelated outrage topic, which no doubt causes justifiable outrage. But it’s not an argument—it’s a deflection.
Also, the premise of your jab is wrong. The Catholic Church explicitly condemns sexual abuse of minors and punishes it under its own law. See Canon 1398 §1 of the Code of Canon Law (2021 revision):
“A cleric who commits an offense against the sixth commandment with a minor… is to be punished with deprivation of office and other just penalties, not excluding dismissal from the clerical state if the case warrants it.”
In plain English: sexual abuse of a minor is a grave canonical crime that can get a priest removed from ministry and permanently laicized. If someone were to assess the Pope’s and relevant dicasteries internal disciplining and having an issue with them not being severe enough in internal discipline, that’s one thing, but it’s not like the Church does not condemn that behavior amongst a whole host of other sinful behaviors.
But more importantly, your comparison doesn’t even make sense. The Vatican comment is about whether sovereign states can justify launching wars based on hypothetical future threats—a question from just war theory and international law. Clerical abuse is an individual criminal offense handled under criminal and canon law. Completely different categories.
So, instead of trying to derail the conversation with a cheap “gotcha,” you could try engaging the actual point. Otherwise, it just looks like you didn’t have a response—so you changed the subject.
