Pope Francis: "If I Speak Of Islamic Violence, I Must Speak Of Catholic Violence"
Breitbart.com ^ | August 1,2016 | Thomas D. Williams, PH.D

Posted on 08/01/2016 6:13:44 AM PDT by Biggirl

In a press conference Sunday, Pope Francis appeared to suggest that all religions are equally prone to violence and that Islam and Christianity are the same in this regard. When asked by a journalist about the “barbarous assassination of Fr. Jacques Hamel” in northern France who was clearly “killed in the name of Islam” last Tuesday, the Pope replied that he doesn’t like speaking about Islamic violence because there is plenty of Christian violence as well.

Thanks for your compassion. That should read “Godless”, btw.

It hurts to be a white, American, straight, Catholic, married, working, male in the world today. I am in the most hated victim class in the world. Even the Pope is prejudice against me, apparently for being Catholic.

Dear God in Heaven, what is this guy doing? I’m a very thankful Catholic convert. I abhor the notion of speaking ill of the Pope, but come on. Is the press just taking what he says out of context to fit their agenda or is this actually what he believes?

Equivocation is the minor fault that causes great errors.

Playing the 'moral equivalence' game once more. This joker showed his true Communist colors long ago, he is an apostate, fallen away from the Faith, his words pave the highway to Hell itself.

The Crusades were a defensive RESPONSE to 500+ years of Muslim provocation intended to attack the root of the problem and stop the Muslim invaders from messing with us.

It's true. The "Highway of Death" equivalent for the Crusades was the torturous force of conversion and heresy trials. Had they just stopped and slaughtering the Muslims, well..... never mind.

Psalm 109:8 clearly relevant in this case.
