      I don’t think it’s about authority, but if Israel is stupid enough to kill the Pope, I imagine most of the catholic world would immediately turn on them. That could be enough to pressure other nations to finally get involved and put a stop to the genocide.

        The last time a Pope was known to be killed was 1303, and only as a technicality as he died after being released.

        Someone also tried to kill John Paul II.

        It would be unprecedented if a Pope died in a war zone.

      Absolutely none.

      He is a religious leader who greeted the people with his Message of Peace when he first became pope. Perhaps now is a good time to express that message outside of Rome along with a message of goodwill toward all.

      Many Christians feel that he should visit Gaza anyway because of the church that was damaged from an Israeli airstrike and the recent bombing of a church where people claim sanctuary.
