It’s Not Right to Equate Islam with Violence,’ Says Pope Francis

The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 7/31/16 | CNS

“This violence had nothing to do with Catholicism which is a religion of peace”

The Pope himself is aware and warns of the savage violence that lurks in the hearts of Italian Catholics.

Once I saw a black shawled Italian grandmother type Catholic chase some kids off her lawn. They barely escaped with their lives. She probably would have eaten them had she caught any.

It’s time the Pope pees in a cup.

[Arthur McGowan]

Unfortunately, he made “dialogue,” rather than truth or survival, his top priority. Kissed a koran. Ugh.

I'm no biblical scholar by any means, but scripture describes all of this in stark detail. If I were having dinner with the pope, I'd have a zillion questions for him.

First and foremost..if you are the leader of the Christian world, would you not say that Islam is a false religion, therefore a demonic deception?

If muslims deny the divinity of Jesus and simply believe he was a prophet and a good teacher, not the Son of God, would they not damn themselves to eternity in darkness and the absence of God?

We have them, too,” the Pope said. “When fundamentalism goes to the point of killing — you can even kill with the tongue

By telling scurrilous lies about Catholicism, Francis? Better look in the mirror.

“Can Catholics do a Recall on this Fake Pope”

One has to consider that the Holy Spirit might have sent this bad pope with deliberateness, as a chastisement for bad Catholics and other Christians. The papacy would be valid in that case and not “fake”.

This pope is a flunky. Can’t the Catholic church get a new one? It is as if Muslims voted him in.

Look up Papal Infallibility on Wikipedia to find out what it is.

You look it up and show me.

Your Holiness, please stay in your lane.

[Maudeen]

Forget the Pope. . .he evidently doesn’t represent a lot of Catholics. Instead go straight to the Main Headquarters. . God. . praying in Jesus Name.

[marshmallow]

Can't you see tomorrow's CNN or BBC headlines...."Pope Compares Catholics to ISIS".

[jmacusa]

This pope is a f**king asshole!

[TexasRepublic]

The religion of the sword is indeed violent. Good grief!

[eeriegeno]

only a naïve fool would fail to understand that

Bingo! We have a winner.

[hal ogen]

The pope is truly a dimming supplicant.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Strawman #793 - no one has ever equated Islam with violence....
