Pope Francis again warns against nationalism, says recent speeches sound like ‘Hitler in 1934’

Pope Francis called for a united Europe in an interview published by Italian daily La Stampa on Friday, saying recent political rhetoric has echoed that of Nazi Germany.

“I am concerned because we hear speeches that resemble those of Hitler in 1934,” he said. “ 'Us first. We … We … ’ These are frightening thoughts.”

It is not the first time the pontiff has made such remarks, but his comments published Friday came as Italy’s populist government appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

If you are currently not for having your society and way of life destroyed by global elitist policies, you are a “Hitler”.

Got it.

More like an @$$.

BTW, I'd sort of like to live in the Vatican. I love art and history. Is Francis going to provide me an apartment?

FUPF......this coming from a recent former Catholic.....

Clean up your own mess before you stick your nose into other people’s business.

In fact...stick to religion and stay out of politics.

PF, you should be condemning the corrupt governments that abuse their people before condemning our nation that cannot absorb those that flee that abuse.

PF...tear down your own wall before you have the nerve to criticize anyone else.

The big difference is Germany was suffering from the Great Depression. Hitler used the justification of eugenics to exterminate the Jews for his economic recovery. The Nazis stole the wealth of the Jews. A true redistribution of wealth. Jorge must have forgot history.

If the Pope is dissatisfied with Italian politics perhaps he should move the Vatican to a more agreeable socialist or communist or Islamic country.

Francis is an anti-pope. It's the only thing that makes sense.

The Church leans towards globalism and open borders anyway with it being the binding nationstate.

The New World Order ImPopester is aghast that people are rejecting the New World Order.

Time for Frankie to retire and go home to spend more time with the family.
