Despite appearances to the contrary, the murder of the Russian ambassador in Ankara and the Berlin massacre in a Christmas market have nothing to do with religion but are economically motivated, according to the secretary general of the Italian bishops’ conference. On Monday, a gunman shot the Russian ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov, at an art exhibition in Ankara, reportedly shouting “Allahu akbar” while he gunned him down. Later in the day, a Muslim Pakistani “refugee” drove a semi through a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring many others.

Of course. Islamic terrorists slaughter infidels because they’re oppressed and are economically deprived.
Denial isn’t just the Tiber flowing through Rome.
True, because Islam is the work of the Devil and in no way a real religion.
It is hard to imagine more idiocy in such a bundle of bull.
Only a world view based on Marxism could come to such a conclusion.
I wonder if he will change his tune when the Muslim hoards break down the Vatican gates
Then why it is always Muslims and why do they always yell “Aloha Snackbar”?
Germany attacking Poland in 1939 had nothing to do with Nazism.
Stalin's purge had nothing to do with communism.
These are the idiots getting innocent people killed and will continue to do so until we finally wake up and realize that Islam is at war with us.
Ah yes. poverty. That must explain the wealthy terrorists like Osama. It must explain the jet setting terrorists who constantly jet all around the globe on vacations and training and stuff. It must explain the Orlando shooter who paid off a house by age 28 and signed it over to the family just before the attack.
And it surely explained the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston with nice cars, nice clothes, trip to Russia to get trained in Dagestan. Or maybe he means the wealthy son of that African who decided to put a bomb in his underwear in Paris.
Poverty. Of course... it was staring us in the face all along.
The problem is that the Islamists think it IS because of religion.
This guys life work is Religion ,so is he telling us Religion is Fake ?
Maybe they’ll figure it out once Vatican City is surrounded by another Muslim army.
Idiot
didn’t realize de Tiber flows into de Nile.
I don’t recall any muzzies screaming “I want bread” when they commit these attacks.
He was appointed directly by Francis, not elected by other bishops as is the tradition.
Francis overlooked all 500 Italian bishops to pluck Galantino out of obscurity and name him head of all Italian bishops. Galantino, appointed by Benedict XVI in 2011, was very last of all the bishops in a poll of the Italian episcopate requesting their input in who should govern them — yet Francis went to the back of the line to elevate him.
Since Galantino stepped onto the national stage, he’s stirred the waters repeatedly.
In May 2014, he riled conservatives by saying, “My wish for the Italian Church is that it is able to listen without any taboo to the arguments in favor of married priests, the Eucharist for the divorced, and homosexuality.”
Galantino irritated cultural conservatives again in June 2015 by appearing to throw cold water on a lay-organized rally called “Family Day,” staged to protest a draft civil unions law.
Bishop Galentino also attacked pro-life Catholics saying, “I do not identify with the expressionless faces of those who recite the rosary outside abortion clinics”
Bishop Galantino also gave a homily to Italian youth, in which he taught that God saved Sodom from destruction.
“The intense dialogue between God and Abraham in the first reading tell us about prayer. And it’s about prayer that Jesus is asked in the Gospel. A prayer which is not an escape from troubles and responsibility, but a live experience made of listening and answering, through which God creates an authentic relationship and pushes us to be daring. As daring as Abraham’s intercession prayer in favor of Sodom. A city upon which nobody would have bet a dime. His intercession prayer and his will to dare save Sodom. The city is saved because some righteous ones are there, even though a few of them. But the city is saved above all because Abraham, a man of prayer, is not a relentless accuser, he doesn’t speak against but in favor. Abraham, man of prayer, doesn’t point to the misdeeds, but he announces the possibility for something new. Abraham, man of prayer, announces and invites to look at the positive possibilities. Abraham, man of prayer, is a tireless searcher for sign of hopes to present to the Lord for Him to give them value.”
Bishop Galantino is talking about the dialogue between God and Abraham recorded in Genesis 18. God was planning to destroy Sodom for its wickedness, but Abraham pleaded with God to spare the city. God agreed that if ten good men could be found there, he would spare Sodom.
Had the story ended there, Bishop Galantino might have had a point. But in Genesis 19, two angels enter the city, and Lot has to barricade them in his house because men from all over Sodom, both young and old, surrounded it and demanded that Lot turn them over to be raped. The angels order Lot and his family to leave the city, because they are going to destroy it on God’s orders. And that’s what happens. The clear implication is that there were not even ten righteous men in Sodom, aside from Lot’s family. Sodom was not saved, as Bishop Galentino lied preached, but was in fact destroyed. Abraham may well have been a “tireless searcher for signs of hope” in Sodom, but the Biblical story makes it clear that there were none to be found. God was willing to extend mercy to the city were there any righteousness in it at all, but aside from Lot and his family, there was none.
Bishop Galantino loves Jihadists, Sodomites and Communists. He hates faithful Catholics.
Moronic,cowardly buffoon. If OBEYING the Koran isn’t about the Islamic ‘religion’, then following the 10 Commandments has nothing to do with Christianity. Every time someone kills and screams ‘Allah Ackbar’ ISLAM IS BEING FOLLOWED precisely! The world knows it- terrorists admit it- only chickens**t, cowardly appeasers refuse to face it.
