Wow...
Abbas “a man of peace”???.....Don’t think so.....
Regardless of the Vatican position on abortion and homos, I am convinced that Frank is a garden variety progressive. Good thing that my allegiance is to God, not to a church.
Peter the Roman ?
Memo to the Pope:
FIRST THE SATURDAY PEOPLE - THEN THE SUNDAY PEOPLE!
Signed, The Palestinian People.
Catholic church joins the rest of Big Religion circling the drain.
Another useful idiot.
Your jedi mind tricks won’t work on him Frankie.
So, the Pope calles a Palisimian a “man of peace”?
That is easily explained as a mere presstitute typo. What the Presstitute meant to type was “Pope calls Palisimian a ‘man of piece’.
See, good feelings flow when one shares, ‘specially that Arab boy.
My apologies to Catholics, but too few of them have spoken out about a South AMerican socialist who wants to spend the worlds money as he sees fit.
He is so eager to spend others money that I am reminded of the old Jewish line - “With my guilt, and your gelt, we can do great things”.
Hmmnnn - maybe he isn’t really a Catholic after all.
Could it all be the Mossad?
;-)
This is one Pope they should make a “Prisoner of the Vatican”.
Don’t let him out—he’s crazy!
The Holy Father is either VERY VERY VERY sadly mis-infoermed, or else Satan has captured his soul....
Pray for the Pope, and his eternal soul. Pray for him, please.
I am no longer a Catholic until this clown is gone. I will just consider myself a christian until then.
The more I hear about this Pope, the more convinced I become that he’s a retard.
Apologists arriving to explain that the plain meaning of his [latest] supremely idiotic pronouncement means exactly the opposite of what it seems to mean in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Following in the footsteps of Pope Benedict XVI.
The Pope is a dope
When I heard a Jesuit was elected Pope, my antennae went up. As I have been reading the Pope’s daily comments over the past year, my antennae went up even more. I kept hoping that this Pope would stop with his off-the-cuff daily comments and revert to standard Papal speaking procedure. No such luck. I was hoping it was the MSM who were misconstruing his daily comments. No such luck. When I heard he was planning to fly into Bethlehem from Jordan I became even more concerned as it was obvious he meant it as a message to the Palestinians.
As a Catholic, I am concerned and disappointed over the Pope’s actions. Stopping to pray at the security wall which was build to stop terrorist bombings as if it were the Western Wall is pure propaganda for the Palestinians. Referring to Abbas as a man of peace is pure nonsense. Having to be pressed to make a stop at the Holocaust memorial is a sad commentary.
Pope Francis has been a joy to liberals and left wingers both inside and outside the Catholic Church. For the rest of us who attend weekly Mass and work to help in the New Evangelization process, he has been a severe disappointment.
I have read rumors that his health has become problematical, that long-scheduled meetings have had to be cancelled, and that he has gained a substantial amount of weight of late. Seeing the Pope on TV the past three days, he appeared to be short on energy, pallid, and in need of assistance getting up and down. His frequent smiles had become far fewer. He neither looks nor acts like a person in reasonably good health.
this story came from the AP, and they are notorious for recontextualizing.
The Pope did not say Abbas “you are a man of peace”,, he said “you are known as a man of peace”
“peace” is the basic philosophical tenant of Islam, it is attained by submitting to Allah. Therefore, islam is peace to Palestinians, but not in the Western context of nonviolence. So, when the Pope used the word peace, was he speaking to Palestinians or the West… he was speaking to Palestinians.
“you are known as a man of peace (Islam)”
I don't know enough to gauge the insight, if it is one.
Other commenters opined that the pope is painting Abbas into a corner. Wishful thinking?
this pope continues to prove that he is a socialist through and through
