Vatican Radio ^ | 3/22/17

Posted on 03/22/2017 1:57:25 PM PDT by marshmallow

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has called for an ongoing commitment to welcome and integrate forced migrants and refugees and described the current migration phenomenon as the world’s greatest tragedy after the Second World War.

Speaking on Wednesday to crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the weekly General Audience, the Pope also continued his catechesis on Christian hope and appealed to the faithful to ‘re-discover’ the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Yes, but not for the reasons he thinks. It will end in the deaths of tens of millions of Europeans and the submission of the rest.

Donch’a kind of miss the good old days when the church sent missionaries to the lands of the savages to convert them and set up social services like schools and hospitals?

Imagine the Vatican making Somalia and those other hellholes into places that people wouldn’t have to escape from ....

..”The commie in a white robe continues the insanity”..

Well.. catholics will just tolerate him till the next Pope. That appears to work for them as it has for centuries, regardless of the damage or life lost.
Pope should have on his robe..”Can’t touch this”!

.”Just say Nope to the Pope”...

Right...that’ll be just about as effective as us telling congress “No” to refugees.

Maybe President Trump can make a deal with the Pope to disassemble the Vatican wall and reassemble it on the US - Mexico border.

The Pope won't be needing it anymore, we can preserve that part of Roman Catholic history AND put it to good use.

It is good to be able to discern an invasion vs. a migration.

A lot of our Native Alaskan population would beg to differ. The catholic church sent all its pedophile priests to Alaska and they went on a child molesting spree the likes of which has never been seen before in America. Today Native Alaskans have a much higher rate of suicide and alcoholism, thanks to the catholic scum that raped its way across Alaska. Maybe Frankie the idiot pope should try fixing that problem.

I am not Catholic, but I would LOVE to know the truth behind Benedict stepping down.

The human sex drive is in all of us. I don’t think it can be just shut off as in abstinence for life. To hear of a priest molesting kids is not rare at all.

While some may think of your claim as being in the arena of blasphemy, I do not. It’s easy to see where the Church politicians would pack off their trash to a frozen tundra as an easy way to deal with the problem.
