ROME — Pope Francis is supporting demands for racial justice in the wake of the U.S. police killing of George Floyd and is blasting COVID-19 skeptics and media organizations that spread their conspiracies in a new book penned during the Vatican’s coronavirus lockdown.
In "Let Us Dream," Francis also criticizes populist politicians who whip up rallies in ways reminiscent of the 1930s, and the hypocrisy of "rigid" conservative Catholics who support them. But he also criticizes the forceful downing of historic statues during protests for racial equality this year as a misguided attempt to "purify the past."
The 150-page book, due out Dec. 1, was ghostwritten by Francis’ English-language biographer, Austen Ivereigh, and at times the prose and emphasis seems almost more Ivereigh’s than Francis’. That's somewhat intentional — Ivereigh said Monday he hopes a more colloquial English-speaking pope will resonate with English-speaking readers and believers.

Concur.
My comment was too brief.
The police did not kill George Floyd.
George Floyd, a violent career criminal, died of a self inflicted fentanyl overdose.
This pope is a Communist and a heretic. And I say that as a Roman Catholic and a direct descendant of a Lombard Knight of the First Crusade. IMO, he is evil, and he does the devil’s work.
The Pope knows as much about American Black criminals as he does the gospels.
When the Muslims storm the Vatican, behead the Pope, rape all the Nuns, and burn 2000 years of Christian history, I’m going to sit back at laugh in Odinistic glee.
Good lord, the Pope’s Italian?!
Say it isn’t so
The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed
Why not print this up and send it to the Vatican

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Responding to Freeper NKP Vet comment’s on FR posting calling Floyd a “hero”
“He was not saint and this bullshit narrative needs to end. I also think there’s a hell of a lot more to his death that we’re being told.” I suggested That includes a bad relationship that remains undisclosed with shooter both had while employed as bar bouncers.

Exactly.
Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
Blessed Holy Spirit, cleanse Your Church, and send us a good and faithful shepherd.
I don’t trust him with those either.
Yes, he is evil and does evil.
Pope Francis, Hell’s ruler sent to hasten the fall.
P.Fran should be done away with even if it takes stakes in the heart or any other equally extreme measures.
Yep, like more than half the population of Argentina, actually.
The Pope is likening Trump and his supporters to Nazis. What an evil man!!!!
Sickening isn’t it?
You got that right. The Pope compares us to Nazis while we provide openly support Israel. I wonder if Frank is really Peter the Roman?
