He’s not the first pope to value peace over freedom.
Does that mean that he is eliminating the Swiss Guard?
Didn’t think so.
Well then pope, why do you have Swiss armed guards?
It’s ... ‘Thou shall not Murder”...there is a difference.
Does the Pope shit in the woods?
How nice of this papal pretender to lend meaning to the spirit of Martin Luther during the 500th anniversary of the protest of corruption, heresy, and apostasy within the Roman Catholic Church.
I pray that this vile and contemptible Quisling is soon called home to face judgment and that he is replaced by a true man of faith.
The world faces hard times and all Jews and Christians will need a believing Catholic Church to act as a bulwark against the foes of Islam and atheism. We can’t afford half of Christianity to be led by a secular humanist and socialist.
He, like bammy, hates this country. Explains a lot.
Why is it assumed he is talking about the soldiers who fight the wars? I thought he was talking about bad civilian-political leaders who don’t care about the soldiers and hunger for war and don’t want to discuss peace.
In my opinion, the assumption that he denigrated “soldiers” is a cheap shot. I think he is owed an apology. Why would he pay his respects at a cemetery if he was calling soldiers “warmongers”?
I don’t like the confusion Francis is causing in the Church with his fuzzy treatment of Communion for the divorced and remarried without an annulment. I don’t care for his appointments of liberals as Bishops and Cardinals. There are any number of things he has said and done that I don’t care for and I much prefer SJPII and PB16 (PEB). But this is a cheap shot, an extremely uncharitable interpretation of something he said in an attempt to stir up animosity against him. The fervor to get him, to criticize everything he says and does results in incorrect, poor, fevered thinking against him at times, in my opinion.

Sigh...Do I expect him to say anything less?
Certainly not a fan of this Pope. I had to dig a couple levels into this story to find out what he actually said... which had nothing to do with the soldiers fighting the wars, and everything to do with the politicians/leaders that create them.
Let’s not perpetuate lies. There’s enough truth out there to cast doubt on him.
Psalms 55:21 tells us that war is in the hearts of unrepentant sinners.
Also consider that Matthew 8:5-10 shows us that Jesus commended the centurion for his great faith.
Romans 13:1-5, which tells us that G-d is in control, and speaks of the power of the sword, also applies imo.
I figure I have normal reading comprehension, and I didn't see it.
Could you ---or anybody --- find me the money quote?
Tear down your wall.
RE: The Lord God has commanded us, “You shall not kill.” There are nine words in Hebrew for taking a life. The word used in Exodus 20: 13 for “Thou shalt not kill” is ratsach, a strong verb used to indicate an intentional and unjustified act of murder

How does he reconcile this with the command of God to the Israelites to slaughter the Canaanites? ( Joshua 10:40, 11:15)
The key word is UNJUSTIFIED, and therein lies the argument.
When is killing justified for him?
Is the killing of ISIS militants justified or not?
He should put his personal Army on humanitarian mission and pronounce to the world (muslims) that he is not protected by soldiers. Pointy hat pointy head!
I read somewhere about selling something to buy a sword but tools of war/solders this pope don’t understand.
I suppose that he will be disbanding the Vatican army, no?
