(CNSNews.com) - Pope Francis told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica on Thursday that the United States of America—and Russia, China, North Korea and Bashar al Assad's Syria—have “a distorted vision of the world"--("una visione distorta del mondo," as reportetd in Italian by La Repubblica).

The pope made the observation in an interview with La Repubblica reporter Eugenio Scalfari.

“Last Thursday, I got a call from Pope Francis,” Scalfari reported. “It was about noon, and I was at the newspaper when my phone rang.”

He said the pope wanted to see him at four that afternoon, according to a Google translation of the Italian report.

“Pope Francis told me to be very concerned about the meeting of the G20,” Scalfari wrote.

“I am afraid there are very dangerous alliances between powers who have a distorted view of the world: America and Russia, China and North Korea, Russia and Assad in the war in Syria,” the pope said.

As printed in Italian in La Repubblica, the pope said: "Temo che ci siano alleanze assai pericolose tra Potenze che hanno una visione distorta del mondo: America e Russia, Cina e Corea del Nord, Russia e Assad nella guerra di Siria."

As translated into English by Agence France Presse, which picked up the story, Pope Francis told La Repubblica: “I worry about very dangerous alliances between powers which have a distorted vision of the world: America and Russia, China and North Korea, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and (Syria’s Bashar al-) Assad over the war in Syria.”

“The danger concerns immigration,” the pope continued to La Repubblica, as translated by AFP. “Our main and unfortunately growing problem in the world today is that of the poor, the weak, the excluded, which includes migrants.”

“This is why the G20 worries me: It mainly hits immigrants,”.......

Look who’s talking about “distorted views!”
Are there any newly dusted mirrors in the Vatican?

Even though I am not Catholic, I’ve never before felt negative toward any of Frankie’s predecessors.

This Pope gives off the same vibes as O’Vomit. Profoundly evil and Satanic, just creepy. I don’t know how President Trump managed to travel to the Vatican and meet with this nefarious bastard.

Mr. Pope, you have a distorted view of the church. You need to be replaced with someone who has the integrity of John-Paul II.

Yo, Il Papa-san. I have a word from The LORD for you:

And who of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his stature?

Pope Francis is accompanied by members of ISIS and Al-Qaeda, who feel the same way as the Pope.

Can we start a “resistance movement” against the Pope?

Wasn’t that done already?

Distortion is this Pope’s constant bitching and complaining sounding like Obama and leftards just like him at every turn. It did not take long to ruin the Catholic Church from the Vatican on down after having a long run in history.

“Will the Vatican be refusing all collection plate dollars from America? Didn’t think so.”
From the experience of this US Catholic...there is very little on those plates to collect- and less and less with all the Curial shenanigans.

Nothing from the Sunday collection in a Catholic Church goes to the Vatican.
