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.
VATICAN IS REPORTED TO HAVE FURNISHED AID TO FLEEING NAZIS
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.
Time for a hot toddy before bedtime.
That’s nice Pope, your a real unifier .
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.

“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...
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?
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.
