In an impassioned address Friday, Pope Francis denied the existence of Islamic terrorism, while simultaneously asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.” “Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist,” Francis said in his speech to a world meeting of populist movements. What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact. “No people is criminal or drug-trafficking or violent,” Francis said, while also suggesting—as he has on other occasions—that terrorism is primarily a result of economic inequalities rather than religious beliefs. “The poor and the poorer peoples are accused of violence yet, without equal opportunities, the different forms of aggression and conflict will find a fertile terrain for growth and will eventually explode.” The Pope also reiterated his conviction that all religions promote peace and that the danger of violent radicalization exists equally in all religions. “There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions—and with intolerant generalizations they become stronger because they feed on hate and xenophobia,” he said. While denying the existence of Islamic terrorism, Francis also seemed to condemn the denial of global warming, asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.” “A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system,” he said. We know “what happens when we deny science and disregard the voice of Nature,” the Pope said. “Let us not fall into denial. Time is running out. Let us act. I ask you again—all of you, people of all backgrounds including native people,

Jerry Blackwell: Pope Francis does not exist!
The pope thinks that denying a harsh reality means it does not exist.
When they over run Vatican city get back to me.
No, wait. I won’t be able to hear you over how awesome I am...nor the “Lah, Lah, Lah!!!” Of the Muslim women in celebration, after the conquering of Vatican city...
No money goes from the local parish to Rome.
I’m Catholic he sucks. It’s been one thing after another I’m beginning to feel jewish. Dear lord this man is a moron he lost me when he put on that hammer and sickle crucifix necklace thing in boliva that Evol no Morales gave him. To me it seemed like the modern equivalent of the pentagram. Bad
Starting to wonder if the fool is actually 0bama in whiteface.
Oh, Wow. Francis is truly delusiona however you slice itl.
Either he doesn’t believe in Islamic terrorism or he thinks he can convince people that there isn’t Islamic terrorism.
This man is not MY Pope and I no longer give the church one red AMERICAN cent.
I am a Roman Catholic and I love my faith but Nobody told me that I have to respect this Commiecrat, and so.. I Do not.
Pope Benedict XVI still lives, let him be restored to his rightful reign!
Francis is not my Pope.
So then that only leaves the Holy Roman Church as historically the world’s most virulent terrorist organization. Muslims aren’t the only clerics raping little boys...

It sounds like Pope Fransoros has been listening to CNN.
St. Michael and St. Peter protect the Church. Holy Trinity send us a true shepherd. Blessed Mother, pray for our deliverance from false prophets. Amen.
The Catholic Church is an idependent state run by corrupt wealthy old men who have their own agenda; money and power, while pretending to be a religion.
The same could be said of many other christan sects.
Wake up, they are all using u while pretending to believe.
They live better than you or your children will ever live.
Christ had one set of cloths, one pair of sandles, did not know where his food was coming from, and defiantly did not have a 100k salary, a retirement plan, nor a jet to fly around in.
Take all this away and make them live the life of Christ and u will see how much they believe.
Wake up!
“People ask why I left - having once been a Catholic.
The answer is easy - waaay too many left leaning or outright leftist loons to bother with ‘em anymore.”
Quite a few ‘left leaning loons’ right here in the lower 48 as well. So I take it you’ll be leaving the United States as well, instead of enjoying her blessings because - there are too many leftist loons to bother with anymore.
Is that about right? (May as well be consistent).
Worst Pope I can recall.
I pray this evil demon, Jorge Mario “Francis” Bergoglio dies in his sleep tonight. Amen.
