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.

Well enough of this poseur. His insulting remarks are idiotic and are indefensible in reason. Does he consider it "hateful" that both the Old & New Testaments show profound respect for lines of descent? That the Fifth Commandment clearly comes down on the side of respect for lineage; that from Genesis X on, the concept of nations is recognized & accepted; that those who seek new world orders--a group which certainly included Lenin, Stalin & Hitler--generally reject Scriptural rules with a vengeance?
Again, I do not mean to offend. But someone needs to explain the Western Heritage, to which previous Church leaders made enormous contributions, to this Pope; and maybe even try to help him to understand that the greatest motivation that inspires patriotism is love, not hate. (The hate is usually found on the side of those who would destroy what the patriotic have achieved.)
Unfortunately for Pope Francis' credibility, there are also many of us who understand the implications of one who appears to need to attribute base motives to those whose only offense is wanting to preserve what their forebears achieved.
Starting to really despise this guy!!
Reading anything about this Pope leaves me feeling like I need a shower.
Father Jozef Tiso. Catholic Priest and head of the Nazi Puppet government of the Slovak Republic during WWII, happily sent Slovak Jews to the gas chambers.
“You can’t live sowing hate” Ironic because you can’t be Pope and eschew Jesus and focus, instead, on nothing but perverted social issues...the Pontiff be too busy pontificating about crap instead of about Jesus...
And I’m Catholic(for now)
We could invert this statement to say"Pope Francis didn't steal power, his Cardinals voted for him, and then he destroyed the Catholic Church and it's clergy members?"
Is he trying to end the Church?
“When are the ranking members of the Church going to get rid of him?”
He’s Pope for life unless he chooses to step down like the last guy.
The Catholic church should really shut up about Hitler... After all, they didn’t receive much grief during his occupation of Italy and there was hardly any complaining from them to Hitler during WW II when he was murdering millions of Jews, gypsies and undesirables.
Send the invaders to the Vatican.
‘And all Germans vote for Hitler. Hitler didn’t steal the power, his people voted for him, and then he destroyed his people.’
Bergoglio failed at History. Germans did not vote for Hitler, the Nazis were routed in the last free elections in Germany. Hitler was appointed Chancellor, by those who thought he could be controlled by incorporating him into the government. From there he and the Nazis engineered a coup.
Says the Marxist/Stalinist.
Yo, Catholic Church, can we get a real Pope please? This one really must go.
Frankie is nothing more than a lowlife scumbag Marxist thug masquerading as a pope. We all know how Marxists like to define their enemies in contrast to Hitler and fascism. I would expect nothing less from this filthy swine.
I am a Roman Catholic since birth and I disavow this Black pope.
I guess this means the Dope is having the walls around the Vatican removed? The church made a huge mistake putting this communist loser at the head of the church. He’s the worst pope in my lifetime.
Might be the first Pope to be hanged by angry mobs of devout Catholics. He’s on track as much as he could be.
If he praised Satan from the altar at St. Peter’s, I would not be surprised at this point.
Hitler was altruism, collectivism, statism, and socialism. That is leftardism exactly
