Pope: 'Current Migration Crisis Greatest Tragedy After WW2'

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.

What I stated isn't idle speculation, it's a known fact. One Alaska diocese has already been bankrupted due to victim lawsuits and I hope the rest of them are also bankrupted.

Baloney.

If he’s so concerned about migrants, maybe he could work harder at improving the standard of living in the countries they are leaving instead of bringing down prosperous countries with an influx of the same problem they left.

I guess Pope Francis has forgotten about Chairman Mao's great leap forward, the Cultural Revolution

Or perhaps the Pope does not consider the Cultural Revolution to be a human tragedy

Or maybe its just another example of Francis’s Pope -a-dope smack talk

[redfreedom]

I believe you.

I further believe all the perversion in the Catholic Church is a reason many shy away from Christianity. Christianity is on the decline, and there must be reasons for it where blame in many cases is pointed directly at a faith or individual churches and their administration.

Much goes on within a church that defies the very nature of simply being a good Christian. Child molesting is probably the worst example.

Lesser examples would be:

I recall in the early 60’s a Lutheran Church had a very mild/meek mother bring her 9 year old boy to church. It so happened that the boy’s grandmother was the town slut decades ago. No one would sit in the same pew or even near mom and the boy. A few Sundays later the pastor gave a sermon where he referenced the congregations behavior towards the mom & boy.

The next Sunday the pastor was no more. He was literally run off by the church do gooders.

The 9 yo boy grew up an atheist.

Can Catholics take a vote to declare a crusade against this derelict pope?

[Slyfox]

JPII and Mother Teresa both said the worst was abortion.

So, who should I believe? Frank or two bonafide saints?

[Slyfox]

Now they are grown up and amongst us:

These are the ones who traveled into Europe by the hoards.

[ebb tide]

The Francis says we Catholics talk too much about abortion.

But he sure does talks a lot about “migration” and protecting “Mother Gaia”.

Not too much about Jesus Christ or salvation.

[Slyfox]

And global climate change.

marshmallow;

I'm having trouble hearing past the headline. They've lost me...(can't hear, won't hear -- wake me when they stop leading from behind and finally SAY SOMETHING, would you?)

forgotten man;

Worse than Mao’s Great Leap Forward which killed over 40 million people, after World War II?

That's what I was thinking, along with Khmer Rouge. The latter still hold "slaughter score/kills racked up" on percentage of populace basis (I think). There's been other tragedies too....

Or is Pope-baby talking in future tense? Hope not...

I agree with the Pope. Today’s invasion of France by uninvited outsiders is as bad as the equally sinister invasion in the 1940s.
