President Putin has slammed Pope Francis for “pushing a political ideology instead of running a church”, and warned that the leader of the Catholic Church “is not a man of God.”
“Pope Francis is using his platform to push a dangerous far-left political ideology on vulnerable people around the world, people who trust him because of his position,” Putin said.
He dreams of a world government and a global communist system of repression.
“As we have seen before in communist states, this system is not compatible with Christianity.”
“If you look at what he (the Pope) says it’s clear that he is not a man of God. At least not the Christian God. Not the God of the Bible,” Putin said at the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Kronstadt.
global central bank and financial authority, and more recently he said “Americans need to be ruled by a world government as soon as possible for their own good.”
Pope Francis’s idea that Americans would be better off under a world government doesn’t stop there. The radical leftist pontiff also went on record stating that Europe should become one country under one government.
He is also on record calling for a China-style one child policy for Western nations, as well as telling a congregation in Rome that having a personal relationship with Jesus is “dangerous and harmful.”
While Putin is a practicing Christian, he is not a Roman Catholic, and the pope is not his leader. According to his recent statements, President Putin does not even consider Pope Francis to be Christian.
The Russian president is rarely openly critical of foreign leaders, instead preferring to use diplomacy to win people over to his side. However notorious globalists including George Soros, Jacob Rothschild and Bill Gates have received tongue lashings before, and now Pope Francis has joined their company.
Pope Francis is trying to lay the groundwork for a global communist government. President Putin is wise to his ruse and has called him out on it. It’s time for more world leaders to tell the pope to stay in his own lane.
Global News 365 looks like some sort of WorldNet Daily clone. I don't have a good feeling about this article. It looks and smells like fake news.
Heck, it worked with Russia.
Liar.
Hi, aimhigh. Your friend must have been in one of the various robust sub-denominations made up of poorly-catechized Catholics, viz: quasi-Catholics, ex-Catholics, and anti-Catholics.
Russia has tried to kill Popes before.
Cardinal Parolin is due in Russia for a diplomatic visit next month. It is highly unlikely that Putin would make such statements under those circumstances.
Pope Francis indeed said "something" a whole lot "like that" but, if you tilt your head sideways and squint your eyes, muttering a prayer about giving the Most Charitable Interpretation, you can kinda-sorta say that his real point was, "Christ founded a church so you could be in living, loving contact with other Christians. It makes no sense to be a Lone Ranger Christian who disdains Christ's Church."
My exact words. But not his exact words.
As usual, he's so equivocating, so insinuating, so ambiguous, that he gives himself plausible deniability.
He needs to clarify himself before some panel of theologians. Where's the Inquisition when you really need it?
Not Catholic myself, though have spent a great deal of time around/in Catholic church over the years; one point that has always confusef/irritated me is that many Catholics place Mary as co-redemptor with Christ. Personally I cannot find biblical basis for this.
Yet compared to CNN which has become dedicated “fake news”.
Also, jaw on floor.
Thank you for the video.
Oh my goodness, someone other than Trump spoke the truth!!! Putin is right!!!!!!!
Well, for Pete’s sake, it’s the best method there is for producing sane, civilized, productive, and reproductive citizens. I NEVER understood Lenin’s statement about it being the opiate of the masses. I should have thought he would have gotten behind it and taken control of it. No matter. I wish we would go ahead and crash like the Soviet Union so we could get back to a moral system.
The scope of mass delusion that has become the world today is staggering.
God is allowing the “Prince of the world” his day for reason.
“Interesting times” indeed.
Because the enemy’s time is getting short.
