Pope blasts Christian, Muslim fundamentalists while leaving Turkey
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 12/2/14 | Reuters

"You just can't say that, just as you can't say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups," Pope Francis said.

Pope Francis said on Sunday that equating Islam with violence was wrong and called on Muslim leaders to issue a global condemnation of terrorism to help dispel the stereotype...

Isn’t the Pope SUPPOSED to be a fundamentalist by definition

Look for some of the worst ideas the small-c church has come up with over the years — you’ll find them here.

God didn’t invite us to co-engineer society.

Pope Francis is to Christianity what George Bush was to Conservatism.

Squishy, mealy-mouthed, and willingly, purposefully ignorant of current events, current facts, and world history.

Those “good muslims” in Iraq were more than happy to turn over their neighbors to be beheaded by ISIS.

I have it on good authority that Jesus is coming back to answer this question personally!

Jesus was a fundamentalist.
Exactly. Be careful for the angel of light.
This pope is going to mislead many if they are not careful.

“....Muslim leaders to issue a global condemnation of terrorism to help dispel the stereotype....”

.
Lots of luck on its effectiveness (if they decide to do it).

The muzzies know that the West has already, voluntarily crawled into their pocket.

Can someone explain to the Pope that the mic is live. People are listening. So he cannot just shoot off his mouth.

Pray for him and all Christians. we all need it.

I say about another year or two. Remember that Pope Francis is 78, not young to begin with and I would not be surprised that by the time he reaches 80, he will do what Pope Benedict XVI, Emertus will do, step down.

Christian/Catholic Fundementalists: One who LOVES the Lord and in a special way, not just His sacraments, but in His word.

In Islamic thinking, it is what we have been seeing this year, via ISIS.

And here I thought he was a Capricorn

He believed in love and peace

And never wore no shoes...

Well, all that and Kris Kristofferson owed John Prine a favor, or something...

Cowardly acquiescence. A clown, a cowardly little clown like his clown 'mass' in Argentina.

The mosque on the temple mount has inscriptions carved into the stone on each side that deny the divinity of Christ.

Inner Face: South Wall. In the name of Allah the Merciful the Compassionate. There is no God but Allah alone; he has no co-partner. He is the Kingship and His the praise. He giveth life and He causeth to die, and He hath power over everything.

South-East Wall. Verily Allah and His angels pronounce blessing upon the Prophet. O ye who have pronounced blessings upon Him and give Him the salutation of peace. O, People of the Book (i.e. the Jews and Christians, always referred to as such by the Muslims -Ed.) do not go beyond the bounds in your religion and do not say about Allah anything but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is but a messenger of Allah and His word which he cast upon Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe only in Allah and of his messenger, but do not say "Three" (Trinity) and it will be better for you. Allah is only one God. Far be it from His glory that he should have a son.

Outer Face: West and North-West Walls. In the name of Allah the Merciful and Compassionate. There is no God but Allah alone. Praise be to Allah who hath not taken to himself offspring. To Him there has never been any person in the sovereignty. Mohammed is the messenger of Allah, may God pray upon Him and accept his intercession.

Praise be God who has not taken unto himself a son and who has no partner in sovereignty nor has He any protector on account of weakness.

So many who speak for Christianity think the Islamic denial of Christ is an oversight - an unintentional omission-when in reality it is the mission of those who would exterminate Christs claim to the world.

He’s essentially setting up fundamental Christians (whatever that is) to be enemies of the State and world same as Islamist head choppers, crucifiers and suicide bombers and mass murderers. So...he wants Christians he does not like, to be seen and treated as enemies of global war machines the same as the world views Isis. Thanks Mr. Political Pope.

More evidence that we are headed into the End Times and the Vatican will be playing a global role on the wrong side of God’s history. Wouldn’t want to be him nor those who blindly follow him.
