All his actions, so far, have shown his position, including his attack on capitalism. As a priest, he could have condemned greed, selfishness, and other human characteristics which render any system, regardless of how good it may be, corrupt and dangerous. Instead, he attacked the system itself, and not those who are rendering the system dangerous and threatening.
Francic is rapidly decending to the level of Anti-Pope. Instead of blathering about capitalism and peaceful Islam, he should be leading a crusade to crush those evil bastards.

He should keep his mouth shut about economics, about which he knows nothing (although that never stops the USCCB, either) , and stick to devotion, which is something he’s good at and something that is appropriate for a religious leader.
I missed the comment about Islam, although of course every Pope and every president has felt it necessary to come out with this lie, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he said it.
On the other hand, he has often prayed openly for persecuted Christians, which even BXVI didn’t dare to do, or not very often, at least.
All this nonsense about “true Islam” reminds me of the people who insist “true socialism” isn’t bad. They insist the Soviets just didn’t do it right.
Savagery, ignorance, and violence IS Islam.
The Pope can ask for her to be freed, but the Christian-hating savages will do what their primitive reptilian brain tells them to do.
Hail Mary
Full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou among women and
Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
Amen
Heavenly Father, I have no idea why you chose this poor woman for this role.
Please free her from her torture and captivity and let her live peacefully
Amen
I am not aware that Pope Francis ever said that Islam means peace.
Unfortunately we heard that false mantra repeatedly by Pres. George w. Bush. And now we have the Muslim in Chief POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama.
This Papa is in big trouble with the Catholic loving Protties and Fundies of Free Republic, ya think he’s gonna survive or be impeached? (Do we have enough votes?)
