Pope Francis declared war on Christmas today by issuing a statement claiming the sacred capitalist holiday a “charade.”

While drinking Starbucks and standing at the Vatican balcony, the Pope proclaimed that Christmas would be “a charade” this year because “the world continues to wage war,” whatever that means.

According to the Pope, Christians should supposedly turn their focus to those suffering under conditions of war and poverty rather than exchanging sweet electronics and cute nicknacks.

The total buzzkill move from Francis was not unexpected as he is a total Marxist, socialist commie with liberal leanings.
