Pope Compares Conservatives to HITLER: ‘You Can't Live Sowing Hate'
NN ^ | 10/24/18 | Jacky Murphy

Posted on 10/25/2018 7:52:37 AM PDT by JonnyFive

Pope Francis associated populists and conservatives concerned with protecting borders to Hitler, before warning that the 'sowing of hate' led to the Second World War. During a book launch in Rome, the Pontiff told the crowd that Nazi Germany expanded power via populism.

One of the nice things about being protestant is that if you find that the church you are in or even the organization that it is affiliated with has become too wacked out... you can work to change the church or you can find another church that fits your needs better. When you are Catholic your options are more limited and your ability to influence the organization are much more limited as well.

While the lone pope compares conservatives to Hitler - many in society identify the pope with the corruption in the Catholic church. “You Can’t Survive Sowing Pedophilia”...who’s writing that story?

Glad to have become one of those protestants long ago that some people here seem to despise. If I was still Catholic, I’d be heading to a Bible-believing church as fast as I could.

What a disgrace this Pope is for the Catholic Church. Just my opinion.

A couple days ago, name-calling and insults were a bad thing; he preached a sermon against them. Now he’s doing the name-calling and insulting himself. In another three days, he’ll give another sermon condemning name-calling and insults. He goes around and around and around ...

I’m in no way defending the Pope. But the headline is a LIE.

Unless one equated Populism with conservatism - this article is incorrect.

“It is important that young people should know how populism is born. I think of Hitler last century, who had promised the development of Germany. That we know how populism starts: by sowing hate. You can’t live sowing hate,” Pope Francis warned.

This is ridiculous. Hitler became a European threat because he disregarded the sovereign borders of other countries.

I am so very disappointed in this Pope. He’s not commenting on the basis of spirituality, but on the basis of political ideology. If he were to say, ‘we should all try to love each other, avoid violence, be charitable to each other, and respect each other’, that would be wonderful. Instead he is opining politically. It’s inappropriate.

The current pope is not a Christian at all in my book, just another globalist mouthpiece for one world government.

Just walk away from the catholic church. Find another faith based church and enjoy your communion with God.

“the Pontiff told the crowd that Nazi Germany expanded power via populism” Wait a minute Popey, isn’t the Mob )democrats) here in the USA populists? And yes the mob is preaching and practicing hate.

You know damn well who Bergoglio was referring to here.

Agree, the headline is a lie. The Pope does not mention conservatives or conservatism anywhere in his comments.

VATICAN IS REPORTED TO HAVE FURNISHED AID TO FLEEING NAZIS

https://www.nytimes.com/1984/01/26/world/vatican-is-reported-to-have-furnished-aid-to-fleeing-nazis.html


How the Catholic Church Sheltered Nazi War Criminals

Dec, 2011 by Kevin J. Madigan

https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/how-the-catholic-church-sheltered-nazi-war-criminals/

The evidence is irrefutable—and growing

Shortly after the end of the Second World War, an Austrian wandered into Rome looking for a Catholic prelate. He needed the help of a bishop he thought was named Hulda (actually Hudal). “I had no idea how one went about finding a bishop at the Vatican,” he confessed to the British journalist Gitta Sereny in 1972. “I arrived in Rome and walked across a bridge over the Tiber and suddenly found myself face to face with a former comrade.” His outlaw companion asked, “Are you on your way to see Hulda?”—a question that implied this bishop was known to be of help to people like them. After a short walk, the Austrian arrived at the episcopal residence he was seeking. “You must be Franz Stangl,” the bishop said, warmly holding out both his hands. “I was expecting you.”

Stangl had been commandant of the Sobibor and Treblinka death camps. Wanted for the murder of nearly a million Jews, he was desperately seeking to escape the clutches of Allied justice. He had come to the right man. Also an Austrian, Bishop Alois Hudal (1885–1963) was rector of the college in Rome known as the “Anima,” a seminary for German-speaking priests. He was also a profound sympathizer with National Socialism and someone dedicated to extending papal charity to “so-called” war criminals. These men, he thought, were “in many respects personally innocent, and had only been the executive organs of orders.” After finding Stangl a job at the German College, the bishop eventually supplied him with travel documents, a steamship ticket, and a factory job in Syria. Later, Stangl traveled to Brazil, where he would bring his wife and family. In Sao Paolo, he found work in a factory that manufactured, of all things, Volkswagens.

While it would be consoling to suppose this act of episcopal benevolence was an isolated incident, in fact, the deliverance of ex-Nazis, SS men, and known war criminals was repeated hundreds of times by Catholic prelates and priests. Their actions were not only known to diplomats in the highest echelons of the Vatican hierarchy, they were morally and financially supported by them—and, horrifyingly, supported by unknowing American Catholics and some of their all-too-knowing leaders as well.

I'm pretty sure the Nazis also expanded their power by breaching the national borders of Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland, France, etc.
