Susan Rice said that we can deal with North Korea the same way we dealt with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Well this is the consequence. There are risks associated with having a Cold War. This is one of them.

I think it’s time that Pope Francis to put a little more trust in God, rather than trust in man and the meanderings of foolish men and the religions they create, such as Al Gore.

Jesus said “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. Does Frankie know Jesus?

He has always been protected. If he feels like the wall surrounding the Vatican does not protect him enough, maybe he wants to bump the funding and security up, or shut up.

I don’t think that the current Poop understands Jesus very much at all...

We need him to shut up. He’s an ignorant and uneducated man; an embarrassment to the Church which has always had intellectuals leading it.

He comes across as somebody who doesn’t believe in God.

He wants to be the white Dali Lama.

The problem with Francis may be the same as what we’ve experienced lately with leaders in the US: some people come out of so-called ‘schools’ - and *indoctrinations*! - with exorbitant notions as to how ‘intellectual’ they are.
