AP News reports that the Pope spoke out against violence in his homily this morning:
During his traditional Sunday noon remarks at the Vatican, Francis noted that five persons had died when a mob stormed through the building where Congress was meeting on Jan. 6. That meeting was to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory.
“Violence is always self-destructive,” Francis said. He appealed to a “high sense of responsibility” by leaders to “calm souls” to prevent further violence.
Only one month ago the Pope was praising Black Lives Matter and the George Floyd ‘protests which resulted in numerous deaths and billions in damages across the country:
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 conspiracies in a new book penned during the Vatican’s coronavirus lockdown.
In “Let Us Dream,” published Tuesday, 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.”
Shortly before mass Pope Francis’s doctor reportedly died from COVID. We’re unsure if he mentioned this during his mass. FOX News reports:

Leftists are fine with hard working Americans being attacked. Don’t even think about looking the wrong way at a politician.
Its the massive double standards and unflinching hypocrisy that let libtard socialists securely live the life of cognitive dissonance.
These idiots have the conviction of a weather vane.
Perhaps he needs to listen to a real Catholic sermon: https://www.westernjournal.com/priest-prepares-congregation-upcoming-biden-years-dark-homily-folks/
Be sure to click on the video link!!!!!
Yes, but that was on YouTube. Was it him live and in pontiff person, or was it pre-recorded . . . or . . . was it a hologram? Is the pope live, or is he in the custody of Interpol? Stay tuned. Same bat time, same bat channel!
Still waiting for him to save a soul....
no longer my pope. sad.
That is worrisome. I hope Benedict XVI is well.
My great grandfather was a Captain in General Garibaldi’s Red Shirt Volunteers who fought against the Pope’s Pontifical Zouaves and French, in the battles for Rome. They hated the Pope because they saw him as a pampered hypocrite who considered himself an emperor, a spoiled monarch living high, while he pretended to be Christ’s representative on Earth, as poor people went hungry. As for the vow of poverty, it’s easy to pretend to be poor, when your rich.
This Pope the same but worse. He is a Communist and a pampered hypocrite in every sense of the word.
So...He's a card carrying proud patriotic conservative Republican? Vote Red? Let's flip them to red? Red states represent the lifeblood of America? Sorry, FReepers who embrace the mainstream media's assigned color scheme can't have it both ways. Either "Red" is good or its not.
Hard liquor tonight?
Actually, it seems to me that he just denounced all violence and asked for both sides to compromise.
Kind of denounced both sides.
Not exactly on our side, but not taking the side of Nancy either.
OK, even as bad as the US media have been for the past four years, I didn’t expect to see every single locus of power in the world aligned against the populist movement that Trump discovered and to which he gave voice.
It’s as if a troop of howler monkeys have just spotted a leopard and are all screaming at the top of their lungs in unison.
Where does this go?
But he didn’t denounce “all violence” in the past several months of BLM rioting, did he?
Garibaldi was a lying freemason and could turn on a dime:
Garibaldi wrote to the Pope:
If these hands, used to fighting, would be acceptable to His Holiness, we most thankfully dedicate them to the service of him who deserves so well of the Church and of the fatherland. Joyful indeed shall we and our companions in whose name we speak be, if we may be allowed to shed our blood in defence of Pius IX's work of redemption.[19]
NOT MY POPE!
WOW! Thank you so very much for posting that. This priest should be the Pope, not the heretic that resides there now. Every Christian, Catholic or not, should see this video.
