VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo issued a forceful condemnation of the Allied Forces resorting to violence instead of simply talking things out with the Nazis.
The Pope warned that stability and peace in places like Nazi-occupied France could never occur through the use of weapons, but only through thoughtful dialogue with Hitler.
"We must not stoop to violence against Nazis," said Pope Leo in a general address. "When the Nazis loaded millions of people into gas chambers, that was the time for sincere dialogue. If only the Allied Powers had laid down their weapons and just hugged it out with Nazis, peace could have returned once more."
Several Vatican aides attempted to point out that the Allied Powers actually did achieve a lasting stability and peace by militarily defeating the Nazis, but to no avail.
"No, that's impossible," continued Pope Leo. "Throughout history, murderous dictators have only been defeated by people getting together and chatting. Some say that they tried diplomacy with Hitler, that it failed completely, and resulted in millions of people dying. To those people, I would simply ask, 'Why are you such an evil person who loves killing?'"
At publishing time, Pope Leo had issued a condemnation against David for not talking things out with Goliath.
