Well...there are lot of people who would kill the pope and Catholics and Christians and atheists and Hindus and Buddhists and so on...The only to stop that is with guns / weapons. Remember Nazis your holiness?

So, the manufactures of knives, forks and spoons should be condemned as well ... all have been used in killing people. What a putz.

Note to the Pontiff...

Even Peter carried a sword.

What about those who buy weapons? They can’t be Christians, either.

The Pope has, OF COURSE, stripped the Swiss Guard of their guns, knives, swords, axes, etc.

Popes are the ones who shouldn’t call themselves Christians.

Jesus told the apostles to go BUY swords. I guess Jesus wasn’t a Christian.

I would be happy to manufacture guns and call myself a Christian. I have no problem with it at all.

While this is going on, Bergoglio’s favorite bishops—Wuerl, Dolan, O’Malley, Cupich, McElroy, Chaput, DiNardo—all keep giving Communion to pro-abortion politicians.” Apparently, unlike weapons makers, they are “Christian.”

As a matter of fact he wasn’t, he was a Jew.

I think the Pope is reaching far beyond his expertise as to what can happen in a world of evil people. I would think the Pope has knowledge of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot and some others. Perhaps he is just trying to tell us not to be like those persons. However, my advice to the Pope is that one has to really understand history of prior years before trying to remake it.

Do politicians who vote for killing babies call themselves Christians?

There is no way this man is God’s representative on earth.

He didn’t believe in his own divinity? He didn’t believe in his resurrection? Tell me what part of the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed Jesus didn’t believe in! (Yes, I know they weren’t written yet.)

Ok Pope, so suppose an armed group invaded the Vatican, intent on stealing everything they can get their hands on. Would you stop them? How?

Paging Pope Benedict, please pick up the White courtesy phone. A lunatic has taken your job, we need you to return stat.

The story SHOULD have been headlined:

Pope Condemns Weapons; Calls for Bombing

Read the whole story, and you’ll see!

The pope we know as ‘Francis’ should not call himself a Christian.
