‘If I speak of Islamic violence, I also have to speak of Catholic violence,” he added.
Wow. What a loser. Catholic violence is a sin that gets punished. Islamic violence is a virtue that gets promoted. And the pope cannot figure that out? Wow.
Well it is definitely no longer correct to associate the Pope with God.
I think he’s right.
you cannot equate islam to violence.
there’s more to it than first thoughts.
you have to add death, as in death and destruction.
thennn, the equation works.
Useful Idiot in the classical sense.
Huh?
You can’t find Wikipedia and type in “Papal Infallibility”?
Or is that what you needed explained for you?
Anyway, your reply demonstrates that you aren’t an honest inquirer, but a bigot and a hater.
True, there is that bright spot. Maybe this pope takes the words of Christ seriously when He instructed “turn the other cheek” and do good to your enemies? I don’t mind heaping coals on one’s personal enemy but when it involves the world stage and a sizable group of evildoers committing bad deeds in the name of their religion I would think that our religious leaders if anybody would have a courageous enough spirit to address and denounce it.
You can't be serious. JPII kissed the Koran and prayed that Saint John Baptist protect Islam.
The Holy Spirit wouldn’t deliberately send us a non-Catholic pope. That would make Him a liar. However, it is possible that He allowed it as a wake up call to the post Vatican II Catholics.
LOL!
Indubitably, if he thought he could get away with it.
LukeL:
Correct, when someone who is Catholic or Protestant Christian commits a crime, they are doing it do to greed, money, power, lust, anger, etc. which are all related to the deadly sins (cf. 1 John 2:16 “lust of the flesh”, “lust of the eyes” and “pride of life”, and 1 Corinthians 6: 7-9).
The Pope is correct when he says some baptized and professed Catholics and other Christians do fall away to sin, but he is correct in saying these crimes are done in the name of Christ. They are not.
Pope Francis just is not to bright and too much of a dreamy eyed progressive Jesuit. He is great with people at maybe a parish level, but as a Pope, he just does not have the intellectual depth of either John Paul II or Benedict XVI.
Arthur McGowan:
You are correct on this point. The Pope is speaking for himself. Of course when the Pope says these type of things, it always gets used to further ones agenda on the subject of Islam and Terrorism. The Pope is sounding like the Neocons Bush and Weekly Standard and the Liberal Hawks (aka Hillary Clinton whose foreign policy is no different than the Republican Neocons).
Of course, the Pope as of yet thank God is not calling to send more Americans to do regime change.
I saw an article that the Entire Polish Bishop Conference is waiting out this Pope, I think there are many Bishops around the world who feel the same way.
Who knew? The Pope of moral relativity.
The facts and the record speak for themselves, Fran.
