He going to go celebrate a public Mass in Mecca, followed by an open-doors, no-fence, no-Swiss-Guards month in Medina trying to convert the Muslims to a “no murders, no rapes, no lies” Christian lifestyle of “no fences” and tolerance for all?

Can anyone show me where Christ condemned the use of the death penalty? The Christian is indifferent to death as I understand it. Also the state and its people enter into the equation; i.e. the death penalty is appropriate in some cases. This Pope has a habit of prating about Jesus all the while meaning Karl Marx.

I’m sure ISIS will immediately stop the execution of Christians because the Pope says so.

Shut up Frankie. You aren’t no pope. You need to go back to where you came from.

If there never was a death penalty, there would be no Christianity...

It was Christ that commanded the death penalty through Moses.

I’d be delighted if he would go home to Argentina and dedicate himself to preaching this nonsense there-and see how far he gets...

This pope does not speak for me, and I don’t believe in popes getting involved in anything that is not a religious matter...

Francis called on all Christians and all those of good will to work not only to abolish capital punishment

I deeply respect the Papacy as as a force of moral good. Unfortunately, on this we differ. BIGTIME. They clearly had the death penalty during Jesus's time DUH! Jesus could have said it was wrong, but He didn't. In fact he seems to endorse it within secular authority as "justice" and what people deserve if they have done wrong. Sorry Mr Pope, feel free to call me an non-Christian if it makes you feel better, but you haven't made a case.

Dear Anti-Pope,
STFU and GTFO.
Love, Laz
