They were required by law to be there to pay their taxes, that is all. They had no intentions on staying.

This is why organized religion doesn’t work: Some pinhead always rises to the top and who the Hell wants to follow a pinhead liberal??

He’s a typical liberal.

Knew a guy, house paid off, Mercedes paid off -— soooo, Obama supporter. Wanted more money to go to the poor and under-privileged. Great idea, I said, where does the money come from? Well, the government, of course.

I pointed out that the gov’t is beyond bankrupt so why didn’t he sell his house and his Mercedes if that was so important. He admitted, it wasn’t that important.

I’m just worried when this Ponzi Scheme goes boom.....

Pope Francis is speaking as a pastor regarding the true Christmas spirit of charity toward all people. He is NOT SPEAKING AS A SECULARIST.

Yes, we do need to be reminded of the love and mercy fact. Yet, Jesus also warned us about selecting our friends. He did not accept all people into his ministry or church while he was on earth. He told his apostles to go froth and teach all men that he was the light of the world, and that repentance for sins would allow God’s mercy and love to flow into us and he would forgive us.

Trying to follow Jesus is difficult, but it does not force us to make friends with those who want to kill us.

Somehow, I think Pope Francis’s words are being modified by the press to make him look like a political liberal. They truncate his words so as to look like he is in sympathy to US Democrats. Pope Francis would never support the atheistic motives and actions of today’s liberals who want to dictate to the church and our consciences.

Uh..Pope Francine?
Jesus was a Jew living in Israel an not an immigrant or refugee...
The question “is the Pope Catholic” doesn’t apply to this guy as he obviously isn’t.
Nor has he read scripture it seems.

Someone should remind the Pope that Jesus did not travel with millions who came in and demanded this, that, and whatever, and then sow violence among the populous.

Next up Francis will rationalize that Jesus supported pedophilia because He said to “love all the children.”

Nope. Christ was born in Bethlehem because Joseph was following the law, not breaking it.

This is right up there with Bill Clinton calling Mary and Joseph a “homeless couple”.

Even Jesus went back to heaven anyhow, if we have to talk about this in these terms.
