Man, they are really coming after us on all sides right now, aren’t they? Be steady of heart and keep a strong hand on the wheel.

[Jaded]

So NOT impressed with this guy. I miss BXVI

[Red in Blue PA]

We aren’t supposed to judge others, yet it is okay to judge me because I have shares in gun stocks?

Pathetic.

[boycott]

This pope should wear clown shoes.

He’s a buffoon.

[Let's Roll]

Sorry, Pope, you don’t get to decide that one. I believe we’ll just leave that between ourselves and God.

But you just go right ahead, and like the US Congress, continue showing how irrelevant you are.

[servantboy777]

I don't get it. If the Jews were to have picked up weapons against the Germans, the holocaust may never have happened.

As a Christian, I am to leave my loved ones at the mercy of the bad guyz? A person enters my home late at night and attempts to rape my daughter or wife and I'm to cower and let it happen because I'm not to own a gun or support the gun lobby?

That seems like an immoral thing to do. Did God not make the man the stronger vessel? Wasn't the man to provide and protect his family? Would God look down on me for protecting my family?

I think not.

“If you trust only men you have lost,”

Failure to understand that men are creation of God with the ability to be inspired by the grace of God to be God’s hand on earth is a failure of belief.

[2CAVTrooper]

More proof of my claim that the church left me as opposed to me leaving the church.

[ealgeone]

What about those producers of wine and other alcoholic beverages? These cause far more health and societal problems than guns.

[SaraJohnson]

He is not the representative of God on earth.

[AFreeBird]

Doesn’t the Swiss Guard have an armory? They have guns they bought from manufacturers, they are Christians.

Pope Frank is a hypocrite.

[showme_the_Glory]

I am for Perazzi, Beretta, Rizinni, Guerini, and many other fine Italian gun makers. I feel sorry for anyone that has to acknowledge this Pope as their leader.

[NativeSon]

And how does he feel about the killing of the unborn innocent?

[Vaquero]

I am Christian no longer so sayeth he who fills the shoes of the fisherman.

There have been bad/evil popes before. I am sure there will be more in the future.

Lighten up Francis and open your Jesuit eyes to the fact that there is need for a New Crusade.

[Kickass Conservative]

Geez.

I am a Republican and the Republican Party Chiefs hate me.

I am a Catholic and the Pope hates me.

I guess it’s time to quit both Organizations.

[Mom MD]

How would the pope know if I am Christian or not? I would submit that I am a lot closer to Gods Word than he is....

[ResisTyr]

Would Catholics really follow this pope into the put of hell?? Cos that’s were he seems to be leading them.

[servo1969]

The original Hebrew said DO NOT MURDER.
This was translated in the King James version of the the Bible to THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

Murder and Kill were fairly synonymous in the English language back in 1610, the year the King James version was first published.

But nowadays, nearly 407 years later, they have very specific and different meanings:

KILL can mean:
1. The taking of ANY life.
2. The taking of a human life deliberately or by accident.
3. The taking of a human life legally or illegally, morally or immorally.

Whereas MURDER has only one meaning:
1. The illegal or immoral taking of a human life.

It is not Murder to kill in legitimate defence of your own life, to kill in legitimate defence of another person’s life, to kill the enemy on the field of battle, or to kill the truly wicked.

"It makes me think of … people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn’t it?" he said to applause.

I suppose the same could be said for door lock manufacturers? Better check with the Vatican bank.

[bgill]

Never in a million years thought I’d say this but, ST*U Pope.
