This guy has once and forever decided the question of Papal infallibility.

The Pope is right. There are dozens of peaceful Muslims in the world, and it is not appropriate to generalize from the hundreds of millions of Muslims who engage in or support violence and condemn the peaceful ones too.

Pope needs to invite several hundred to VCity for a week or so vacation.

Here’s some reading for the pope and for those who haven’t seen this list before and have a LOT of free time:

Scroll down to the bottom to “List of attacks.”

Here’s a sample from the last 30 days:

Sorry Pope, gotta disagree with you on that one. It is not only written in their terror manual that masquerades as a holy book... It is written all over recent history.

“Catholics and Christians commit crimes yes, but not in the name of Jesus. That is the difference and only a naïve fool would fail to understand that.”

It is a typical leftist talking point. Smear an ideology because of the actions of a few that act against the precepts.

Forgive an ideology the pushes violence.

This is Marxism, not Christianity.

This violence had nothing to do with Catholicism which is a religion of peace

Are you sure this was not a deranged pastafarian?

I don’t think any intelligent people take any of Bergoglio’s lies seriously any longer. He is a lifelong lefty subversive, totally at the service of the worldwide lefty powers-that-be, which includes jihad.

I’m a Protestant (we have our own problems) with many Catholic friends on Free Republic. Nonetheless, I have to say this Pope drives me nuts. All previous Popes I respected, and if I disagreed, I had to search my soul as to why. This Pope? . . . not so much.

Man, Francis has gone nuts. I haven’t said anything NEAR like he does and he is revered by people. Life is not fair, that’s for sure. I least I tell the truth.

For the zillionth time, the Pope can spout his idiotic, dishonest political sewage all day and all night—and it has absolutely no bearing on Papal Infallibility. Look up Papal Infallibility on Wikipedia to find out what it is.

Come on, let's give even Jeb Bush some credit. This Pope is a jackass no Bush could hold a candle to...and I am a practicing — albeit miserably sinful — Catholic.

From another thread:

“CAIR wants to have August declared as Muslim appreciation month for California (HR 59). Bill is going to be submitted 1 Aug 16 by Assemblyman Bill Quirk

Well here is. . .
Stats on Muslim attacks for 2016

Islamic Terror attacks 2016

During this time period, there were 1274 Islamic attacks in 50 countries, in which 11774 people were killed and 14303 injured...... and America is next?

https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/terror-2016.htm

If as Muslims claim that their religion is a religion of PEACE, then why not establish a HOTLINE for Muslims to report on terrorist activities within their communities !
