Pope Eliminates Pork from Banquet out of Respect for Muslims

ROME — Pope Francis invited 1,500 mostly poor people to lunch this weekend to celebrate the World Day for the Poor and requested that all pork be removed from the menu so as not to give offense to Muslim guests.

This Sunday marked the third annual celebration of the World Day of the Poor, a Catholic commemoration established by Pope Francis in November 2016 to celebrate the end of the Jubilee Year of Mercy.

The gesture echoed a similar move this past October by the archbishop of Bologna, Matteo Maria Zuppi, who commissioned a pork-free version of Bologna’s iconic tortellini pasta for the feast of the city’s patron, San Petronio, so that Muslims would feel welcome.

Archbishop Zuppi, now a cardinal, dubbed the modified pasta “welcome tortellini” but many locals decried the alteration as “culinary blasphemy.”

Cue to Catholic bishops: appease the godless muslims and become a franciscardinal.

Out of respect for God’s command to the Apostle Peter I will have bacon wrapped ham.

[Carriage Hill]

This pope-a-dope socialist/commie needs to be removed asap.

[albie]

It’s not out of “respect”. It’s out of fear. Pussy.

What are you talking about?

[a fool in paradise]

Why not do it to benefit Jewish people, Mr Popa?

[a fool in paradise]

Why have any meat? Some people are vegetarian (by practice or poverty).

Yeah, no sh*t! Agree completely.

[Veto!]

Jews don’t eat pork either. But the commie pope excluded them.

Why not do it to benefit Jewish people, Mr Popa?

Because Leftists are moral cowards, and Jews are not dangerous.

Acts 10:9-16

Yeah, but that was a command to NOT exclude gentiles from salvation...God had given them his holy spirit.

Peter gave this interpretation of the vision:

Act 10:28  Then he said to them, "You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 

Peter told his story to Jewish Christians and this was the take away.

Act 11:18  When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life." 

Nobody understood it to mean that they should stop observing the biblical principles of eating what God said they should...despite it being used for justification of such today.

Do you know how many fish sticks I was forced to eat EVERY Friday in the school cafeteria??? The pope seemed to have no problem making non-catholics wear THAT RIBBON. Are you being ironic or facetious or have you just never known or cared about the plight the non pope adorers endure?

Regarding San Petronio:

From Wikipedia:

San Petronio Basilica

In 2002, five men who it was believed were connected to Al Qaeda and were planning to blow up the building, were arrested.[4][5] Again in 2006, plans by Muslim terrorists to destroy the Basilica were thwarted by Italian police. The terrorists claimed that a 15th-century fresco inside was insulting to Islam. The fresco, painted by Giovanni da Modena, depicts Muhammad in Hell being devoured by demons.[6][7]

Do they also have a gluten free menu?

Did they consider peanut allergies?

Did they ensure all.breads are whole grain and high fiber?

Did they accommodate the vegan community?

I wonder if various other groups were discriminated against .

[BenLurkin]

Good question
