Contrary to Popular Outrage, Pope Francis Didn’t Call Mahmoud Abbas ‘an Angel of Peace’

“May the angel of peace destroy the evil spirit of war. I thought of you: may you be an angel of peace.”

The people who operate at high levels in politics and who run the kinds events that get covered by the world media are not naive. They are practiced, polished and very professional. Everything they do is calculated and done for effect. When they use a term like "Angel of Peace" while standing next to a criminal like Abbas, they know exactly what they are doing. There is no reason to excuse their behavior.

Fawning over Islamists will come to a very bad end. Having to learn this lesson over and over is time consuming and dangerous.

“Game Set Match”

No No and No. Palestinian statehood has nothing to do with any endorsement with Abbas’ behavior. Pope Francis would have supported it no matter who was the head of the PA (which Abbas only has a tenuous claim to anyway).

Palestinian statehood has nothing to do with any endorsement with Abbas’ behavior.

It doesn't? Wow.

[BipolarBob]

It does attempt to negate Gods Land of Promise to Abraham. It's in the Bible but maybe the Catholics have some sort of Palestinian "tradition" in a forged document from way back.

[smvoice]

Actually it is. And the fact that instead of going to God’s word to discover what HE said about the last days and deceivers, you chose to go to the Catechism of the Catholic Church for your solace. But I expect no more. As searching might lead to repentance and repentance might lead to salvation through the finished work of Christ.

Pope Francis called on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to be an "angel of peace"...He presented Abbas with a medallion and explained that it represented the "angel of peace destroying the bad spirit of war."....Francis called both Abbas and Israeli President Shimon Peres 'men of peace'.

This entire setup is a Globalist setup....moving along nicely now and in full view of the audiance

[caww]

Sure looks like Vatican City is supporting Abbas and the palestinian cause.

[caww]

Exchange of Gifts....looks like whatever that is in Abbas's hand is pretty skimpy for a gift to the Pope?

[caww]

Crislam on the move it appears...Abbas's gift to the Pope.

>>This entire setup is a Globalist setup....moving along nicely now and in full view of the audiance<<

It's fascinating to watch. Prophecy being fulfilled in our time.

[SaveFerris]

yes

[SaveFerris]

Yes it is. And as prophesied, most of the world is blind to it.

[caww]

......”It's fascinating to watch. Prophecy being fulfilled in our time.”.....

We're certainly getting front row seats Imo. It's also striking they are doing so in full view of the audience....which they would not be were it not for the fact they believe they can control the public and the perception, both here and abroad.

[caww]

...”most of the world is blind to it”....

Oh I don’t think so....they just call it something else....which is intended in order for the masses to drink this.

Perception is very twisted today and people really have no concerns that it is. The reason is because everything is playing into a brainwashed society primed for deception.

[SaveFerris]

It’s a spiritual blindness. If they actually knew what was going to happen, they’d run like wildfire.

Instead, they embrace it and encourage others to do so.

[caww]

Yes...but willingly...I do think people recognize the world is shifting and there is of course confusion for some and others put there heads in the sand because it’s simply to scary to see the facts as they are.

Then, as you say , there are those who embrace and encourage others to do so.... that I believe is the majority.

[SaveFerris]

It’s the majority. Many of those do not even know why they don’t understand. I know. I’ve spoken with them at length. A couple are friends. They absolutely do not “get it” and will not “get it” because their ears are closed to the truth.

They do not have “ears to hear”.

[caww]

...”They absolutely do not “get it” and will not “get it”...

Again they are choosing so.

[SaveFerris]

A number are. Yes.

A number simply do not have a clue.

Sorry, but I haven't mentioned heresy. What people are condemning are his actions, e.g. siding with a terrorist organization (Hamas).

Please do say where he sided with a terrorist organization.
