What about sword makers?

It is kind of hard to sell your cloak and buy a sword, if there are no sword makers.

[sagar]

Mattew 10:34 - Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

And the weapons manufacturers are simply doing the work.

Francis is a hardcore leftist.

[Cicero]

I wonder if he has ever heard of just war theory? I guess David shouldn’t have used that slingshot on Goliath.

To all True Christians, the collapse of the denominational Church (including Roman Catholic Church) may actually be a Godsend. For decades the line between true faith and false faith have been getting blurred by the false "social gospel" preachers and teachers.

Jesus Christ, and He alone, is the head of the Church! Whoever loves Him keeps his commandments. Christians do not need a corrupt Pope, or Joel Osteen, or Rick Warren, or Benny Hinn, or Rob Bell to tell us about Jesus. We have his Word and His Holy Spirit to help us!

Look for a small home church or local family non-denominational church to attend. These are the only churches teaching Jesus Christ's Words which are able to save men's souls...

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying , Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

I do not make or invest in gun manufacture, but I own several guns, so am I still Christian or just Catholic or neither?

This pope is a real embarrassment, another affirmative action choice that proves why no one should ever pick based on race, ethnicity, or such.

[Sir Napsalot]

What?

[God luvs America]

Just wondering; he’s from Argentina, a favorite hideaway of nazi war criminals post WWII never mind the pinochet regime...was he this outspoken about what was taking place in his home country while it was happening as he is now about weapons manufacturers?? cause if he didn’t he’s hypocrite number 1....

[onedoug]

Stupid Pope.

[Proud2BeRight]

Do the Swiss Guard that protects the Pope and Vatican have an arsenal of weapons available?

[hadaclueonce]

I could understand when Congress sold out their votes for lobbyist money.

I gave the Pope a little more credit and see what I get.

[Rodentking]

By the way, the pope isn’t a Christian, so really who cares what he says?

[Third Person]

Pope- Putz

[TexasGator]

“The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?”

I think the Pope should take a few history and science courses instead of relying on his councils which are obviously leading him astray.

[elpadre]

God has used men with weapons for His own purposes. Men with weapons provide a deterrent keeping the evil one from destroying God’s creations. Men with weapons have protected the good and innocents, and God was pleased.

I believe the Pope’s South American theological education with it’s socialistic underpinnings have become too much a part of who he is.

[Johnny Navarone]

Not being a Christian, I don’t have a dog in this hunt...but the man hasn’t exactly endeared me to him since he became Pope.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Thanks Pope! Many world leaders in history agree with you...

[Sir Napsalot]

(From the article) He also criticised those who invest in weapons industries, saying "duplicity is the currency of today ... they say one thing and do another."

People who invest in weapons industries probably just want to turn a profit.

How about those who REALLY say one thing and do another, like our politicians?

[NRx]

Exaudi, quaesumus, domine, preces nostras, et hunc ensem, quo his famulus tuus N. se circumcingi desiderat, majestatis tuae dextera benedicere dignare, quatinus defensio atque protectio possit esse ecclesiarum, viduarum, orphanorum omniumque Deo servientium contra saevitiam paganorum, aliisque insidiantibus sit pavor, terror et formido. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

(Harken, we beseech Thee, O Lord, to our prayers, and deign to bless with the right hand of Thy Majesty this sword with which Thy servant wishes to be girded, that it may be a protection of churches, widows, orphans and all Thy servants against the cruelty of pagans, and may it be the fear, terror and dread of all evil-doers. In the name of Christ the Lord. Amen.)
