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

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.

I would ask how in the world such a person becomes pope but I guess one need only glance in the direction of the White House...

*sigh*

He was referring to criminal murder and crimes of passion.

Forget it Pope, you are witnessing systematic genocidal killing of non Muslims by Muslims. This is not the same thing and foolish of you to put it in the same category of crimes of passion. Muslims do not believe they are criminals when they murder, and therein lies the difference. They are mandated by Sharia to do this, and so they are, in every country on Earth, from Cameroon to China, and you tell me where Christians are doing that in the name of Christ.

Go back to school, or go back to bed, you are of non compos mentis.

After listening to this pope since he came on the scene I am now fully convinced that the Vatican is part of the globalist takeover of the western world.

Why doesn’t the useless idiot simply compare and contrast the life and teachings of Jesus with those of Mohamhead?

“Terrorism grows when there are no other options, and when the center of the global economy is the god of money and not the person,” Francis said. “You have cast out the wonder of creation — man and woman — and you have put money in its place. This is a basic terrorism against all of humanity! Think about it!” he said.

"And did you ever notice that 'God' is 'dog' spelled backwards," he added.

Wow, it’d be nice if he’d advertise how Christianity is a peaceful faith and try to bring in some converts. Rather he tells us Islam is not violent but that there is much violence in Christianity. Unreal!

“I remember when Popes had to be Catholic”...

And bears had to defecate in the woods.

What gets me is that the Pope won’t come to the defense of a brother priest. He seems to take the attitude that the French priest deserved his murder.

And as for the comparison of Islam and Christianity, he sounds a lot like Obama.

Wouldn’t want to criticize the Islamic murderer of one of his own priests. That might offend someone.

“Is the Pope Catholic?”

Lately, I’m not so sure...

“If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence,” Francis said. “And no, not all Muslims are violent, not all Catholics are violent. It is like a fruit salad; there’s everything.” …
The phrase “fruit salad” almost sounds like a Freudian slip.

And how many Muslims did Jacques Hamel kill in the name of Christianity? Where does it say in the Bible to kill all unbelievers “where you find them”?
