Pope Francis’s Progressive UN Speech Avoids Confronting Islamic Jihad
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/26/15 | Joseph A. Klein

Christians and other religious minorities are suffering genocide in the Middle East and parts of Africa directly as a result of Islamic jihad. They cannot afford to worry about the effects of climate change. They are in a daily battle for their lives

Pope Francis addressed the United Nations General Assembly on September 25th. He started out by praising the UN, which is observing its seventieth anniversary this year. He gave credit to the UN for such achievements he described as the “codification and development of international law, the establishment of international norms regarding human rights, advances in humanitarian law, the resolution of numerous conflicts, operations of peace-keeping and reconciliation, and any number of other accomplishments in every area of international activity and endeavour.” He said such achievements “are lights which help to dispel the darkness of the disorder caused by unrestrained ambitions and collective forms of selfishness.”

After his introductory paragraphs of praise for the UN, Pope Francis then proceeded to challenge the world leaders and diplomats in attendance in the packed chamber. He called upon them to move beyond the “selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity,” which, the pope warned, “leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and disadvantaged.”

Early church history is remarkably similar to slammie history.

They both ruthlessly murdered anyone not following their commands. The big difference is you can buy your forgiveness with the Romans, you have to literally murder someone with the slammies.

Sure he does! The closest and most evil thing to happen to his flock and he stands silent, yet he will scold us on guns, on illegal aliens and refugees. Everything that came out of his mouth on this trip was hypocritical
