Full title: 'Christmas is a charade': Pope says atrocities such as Paris massacre have made festivities meaningless in a world which has chosen 'war and hate'... The Pope has called Christmas a 'charade' during a sermon in which he reflected on recent atrocities around the world. Among the acts of inhumanity he denounced were the Paris attacks, which left 129 dead, and the bombing of a Russian airliner over Egypt, which killed all 224 people on board. Christmas festivities will seem empty in a world which has chosen 'war and hate', Pope Francis said yesterday at the Vatican.

Not exactly, Pope. The whole world has not chosen war and hate. Stop throwing everyone into the same kettle. Ridiculous.

Whoever writes his stuff should just be fired.

Every statement this Pope makes is unclear and borders on heretical.

Christmas is a charade? What the heck does that even mean.

Christmas celebrates the birth of the Prince of PEACE, Pope.

It’s always war somewhere, Mr Papa. So Christmas has always been a charade.

Whatever you do, don’t say anything bad about the Mooslims. The ROP might get upset.

No they are not. In a society that wars on Christmas and just about any other affirmation of Judeo-Christian culture, observances of those feasts are acts of Witness.

"I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender
the members of my command while they still have the means to resist."

Interior Minister Angelino Alfano revealed on Tuesday that 55 suspected Islamists had been expelled from Italy since the start of the year, including four radical imams...

Good. Shooting them would have been more Roman, but getting rid of them is a start.

They should go Roman on the areas where these animals live.

We haven’t chosen war over peace, Simplicio Bergoglio. The criminal barbarian muzzies have. You, know, your bastard muzzies friends?

No, we didn’t choose this war. But we should end it.

Islam must be destroyed.

Celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior can never be a charade. But there are plenty of charlatans who like the festivities.
