Love your enemies, Jesus said.
Jesus was accused of insurrection against Rome. Maduro is accused of causing harm to the USA. How would the Pope minister to Maduro, who is a Catholic, on the practice of Christian love?

An enemy is the opposite of a friend. As Bush said, "you are either for us or against us". It seems to us Americans that there is nothing in between when it comes to foreign relationship. This mindset is carved on our national psyche; especially, on the White Christian American. Our military chaplains, particularly within Catholic and Orthodox traditions, bless weapons but this practice focuses on protecting the soldier and ensuring the equipment is used for just defense rather than glorifying violence. Would this win Jesus' approval?
