Great. It’s time for another call for “peace” that will be achieved by giving up all our weapons.
Pope Francis on Monday blasted the weapons industry and its “instruments of death” that fuel wars as he made a Christmas Day appeal for peace in the world and in particular between Israel and the Palestinians…
“It should be talked about and written about, so as to bring to light the interests and the profits that move the puppet strings of war,” he said. “And how can we even speak of peace, when arms production, sales and trade are on the rise?”
If he’s going to give up weapons, maybe start with telling the Swiss Guard to give up its “instruments of death”?
“For their protection and guard functions, the guards are equipped with Glock 19 and 26 automatic pistols, SIG 550 assault rifle (Stgw 90 ) and SIG 552 assault rifle (Commando), both in 5.56 mm x 45 caliber, OC-Spray and destabilizing devices (Taser X2). modernization of the already aging Stgw 90 (which was donated by the Swiss Army at the time), currently B&T APC 556 assault rifles and B&T APC 9 submachine guns are used.”
Beyond these, the only reason Vatican City isn’t overrun by guys with machine guns mounted on pickup trucks howling, “Allahu Akbar” is because there still is an Italian military, under the Lateran Treaty, such as it is, armed with some of those “instruments of death”.

Nobody cares, Bergoglio, you pole smoker.
Pope Fraud the Magnificent
Lighten up Francis, give up your guns and we can talk.
The history of Popes is quite interesting. In the beginning the Romans kept killing them . They went through 40 or so before they were respected. Later on there was even a Pope who dug up a dead Pope so he could put his corpse on trial. I’m sure we all recall the Polish Pope who helped bring down the Soviet Union. Now we got a Communist Pope who wants to bring down Capitalism!
Pope Francis aka Francis the Talking Mule
Commies like Francis are on the wrong side of EVERY issue.
Shut the “f” up, Pope.
You can have my halberd when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
Ya these people are not hypocrites
Kinda like the US anti-gun activists.
And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.” (Luke 22:35-38)
NOT MY POPE!
Come and take it!!
Pope asks only that the guys be cute....
Yep. Dude needs to set the example and disarm himself.
Petrus Romanus. The False Prophet who introduces the Beast to the World.
As an American, I consider it an honor to be attacked by this pope.
