All righty then. Now we can all focus on the Vatican’s recognition of “the State of Palestine.”

Pope Francis is probably one of the most”misunderstood” Pope’s in my lifetime.

From Homosexuality, to Wealth Redistribution, to Capitalism, to Palestine, every time he makes a statement, it has to be re-clarified by either the Vatican or some other Catholic agency or spokesperson.

I’ve never seen anything like it, at least not with Pope John Paul II or Pope Benedict.

OK. Maybe he didn’t call Abbas an “Angel of Peace.” But this Pope makes so many off the wall statements that clearing up this one mistake is like winning one battle in a losing war. This Pope needs to shut up for a while.

The leftists in Big Media lie. All the time. About everything.

Why anyone believes anything they say or print on any topic whatsoever eludes me.

Conservatives, especially conservatives on this forum should be extremely skeptical of Big Media. It is wise, I think, to be most skeptical when Big Media says something that panders to one's own prejudices.

Regardless, he’s still an imbecile and an idiot.

"Pope Francis is probably one of the most”misunderstood” Pope’s in my lifetime."

He's definitely the most deliberately and repeatedly slandered individual that I can ever remember.

Hugging and kissing the slime was enough.

Finally, it’s astonishing that international news sources have continued to print false information,

How could anyone not know by now that the narrative must be propaganda that fits the libtard agenda.

First, his naivete gets him into compromising situations he shouldn’t be in. Second, he makes off-the-cuff statements that can be construed in a number of ways. The United States and the Roman Catholic Church have similar leadership at the top, if you want to call it that.

Unfortunately for the author, the Pope’s Marxist views cannot be hidden. Not surprising — supporters of a centralized church are going to be pulled toward a centralized economy.

The Problem with Francis is that he is an Argentinean. MARY ANASTASIA O’GRADY nails it today in WSJ. Behind the Pope’s Embrace of Castro

No pun intended but Pope Francis is a prime example of the Peter Principle.

WHO REALLY IS POPE BERGOGLIO?

Pope Francis first miracle, the conversion of Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the terrorist PLO, from an “angel of death” (Abbas was one of the principal planners of the Munich Olympics terrorist attack. He was the guy who wrote the checks and embraced the operatives as they headed off to one of the most sensational terrorist attacks of its time in 1972), into an “angel of peace”. With one hand Francis was blessing the Islamic terrorists and with the other hand he strikes a dagger at the heart of Israel.

Pope Francis, before going to the Middle East, called himself the Che Guevara of the Palestine people, a flabbergasting affirmation to identify with and to use El Che as model and inspiration, a mass murderer and genocide of the Cuban people. While Muslims keep mass murdering Christians, Francis allied himself with the terrorists of the PLO and Hamas recognizing a no existent Palestine State.

Don’t be surprise of Francis veneration for the monster of la Cabaña. On 1998, Archbishop Bergoglio attributed Cuba’s evils not to the communist dictatorship but to which he called the blockade of the United States; later he disparaged against the capitalist system and, finally” it affirmed that the political and social system closest to the social doctrine of the catholic church was a socialism like the Cuban whenever the idea of God was added to him.”

Thousands of Cubans murdered by the Communist tyranny while imprisoned and tortured hundreds of thousands of patriots, more than 25,000 Cubans were drown on the Florida Straits trying to escape from the Communist paradise in makeshift drafts, over one million Cubans forced into Exile in their quest of freedom, didn’t diminished Pope Francis’ admiration for the Cuban Stalinist regime, so much so, that he concocted with comrade Obama a plan to keep afloat the regime prolonging the oppression of the Cuban people while forcing the American taxpayers to play the role of “sugar daddy” of the regime, a role played before by the Soviet Union and later Venezuela that ended with their ruin.

So, he says that the Pals can have their terrorist State...he invites the PLO leader for a visit and gives him and “Angle of Peace” medallion...shakes his hand...

Why? For what reason did he do this?
