Catholic World in Shock as Pope Francis Questions the Resurrection of Christ on Easter Day

On Easter day, overlooking St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis offered his blessing to the world known as “Urbi et Orbi” in Latin. In his words, the war in Ukraine and all other conflicts on the planet took center stage but the Pontiff’s words included an unexpected passage that has already brought words of criticism from all over the world.

The Pope said: “Our eyes are incredulous, in this Easter of war. We have seen too much blood, too much violence. Even our hearts have been filled with fear and anguish, while many of our brothers and sisters have had to shut themselves up to defend themselves from the bombs. We find it hard to believe that Jesus has truly risen, that he has truly conquered death. Could it be an illusion? Fruit of our imagination? ”
