Italy (Ammoland.com) Pope Francis spoke with a group of young people at a rally of thousands at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
Francis started by attacking the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as well as accusing the allies during World War Two of being complicit in the killing of Jews, Christians and homosexuals.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, saying.
“If you trust only men you have lost,” he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.
“It makes me think of … people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn’t it?” he said to applause.
He also criticized those who invest in weapons industries (gun owners), saying “duplicity is the currency of today … they say one thing and do another.”
Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.
He spoke of the “tragedy of the Shoah,” using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.
“The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?”
It is surely an upside down world when the representative of G* on earth disparages the right to self defense and accuses the Greatest Generation of being complicit in Hitler’s genocide and the destruction of Europe and Russia.
Oh I know. It was more of a rhetorical question. Just pointing out that the church “supports” gun manufacturers.
Namcy pelosi? Abortion?
Oh the hierarchy never ever talk politics don’t you know? Abortion they have said is strictly a political matter
The original Hebrew said DO NOT MURDER.
This was translated in the King James version of the the Bible to THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
Murder and Kill were fairly synonymous in the English language back in 1610, the year the King James version was first published.
But nowadays, nearly 407 years later, they have very specific and different meanings:
KILL can mean:
1. The taking of ANY life.
2. The taking of a human life deliberately or by accident.
3. The taking of a human life legally or illegally, morally or immorally.
Whereas MURDER has only one meaning:
1. The illegal or immoral taking of a human life.
It is not Murder to kill in legitimate defence of your own life, to kill in legitimate defence of another person’s life, to kill the enemy on the field of battle, or to kill the truly wicked.

I suppose the same could be said for door lock manufacturers? Better check with the Vatican bank.
Never in a million years thought I’d say this but, ST*U Pope.
If any Muslim wants to kill this Quisling of a pope I promise that I will not object.
Let’s see!
Walls are evil, gun are evil, wealth is evil.
Pope Francis surrounds himself with these things.
Therefore...
“Ummm, you meant “example”, not “proof”. “
No, I meant “proof”. Go try to correct someone else, you arrogant prick.
Well, I’m not Catholic, so what the Pope (any Pope, not just this sorry excuse for one) says, means nothing to me except as it is backed with facts and logic.
That being said, occasionally one may make statements with which I can agree, intellectually, politically, even perhaps theologically.
This isn’t one of those times
Eff you, Francis. No seriously, eff you.
A bizarre intellwctual midget. And the most egotistical Pope in centuries.
He’s not American. Americans are the only country with 2nd amendment rights. Why should he have the same thoughts on guns from one country? He represents the world not the United States. You guys are frightening with your ignorance.
This false Pope can go piss up a rope pope.
Francis the talking mule in the old movies made more since than this Pope.
Francis, tear down your Vatican walls and populate you grounds with Sharia followers. Practice what you preach.
I WILL say it. As a Catholic I consider Pope Francis a far left heretic.
Yieks! That bible is as fake as a three dollar bill. Be careful.
The ‘Papist-in-chief’ wears a Che Guevara T-shirt under those white robes.
He sure does live in a walled city, surrounded by armed guards. Can this Pope be replaced??
I feel sorry for the catholics being stuck with this shill for globalism, socialism, and those who wish to disarm our country. Though a non-catholic, my respect for former Popes was great, and their wisdom and understanding obvious. This man seems like just another left wig politician.
