ROME — Pope Francis sent a message of condemnation and condolence to the people of Vienna Tuesday...
Pope Francis “was deeply saddened to learn of the horrific acts of violence in Vienna that have brought death and pain to innocent people,”...
“His holiness expresses his deepest sympathy to the families of the victims and to all the Austrian people,” the message continues. “He is also close to the injured and prays for their speedy recovery.”
“Pope Francis entrusts the victims to the mercy of God and implores the Lord to bring an end to violence and hatred and to promote peaceful coexistence in society,” the telegram concludes. “His Holiness accompanies all who are affected by this tragedy and offers them his heartfelt blessing.”
Heavily armed gunmen opened fire at six locations in Vienna’s city center on Monday evening, killing two men and two women and wounding 22 more. Police shot dead one of the gunmen, whom Interior Minister Karl Nehammer identified as an “Islamist terrorist”

Pope Francis has expressed his belief that “Muslim terrorism does not exist” any more than Christian terrorism exists and that no religion is more or less prone to violence or terrorism.
“There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions — and with intolerant generalizations they become stronger because they feed on hate and xenophobia,” he said in a 2017 address.
“If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence,” Francis said on another occasion. “And no, not all Muslims are violent, not all Catholics are violent. It is like a fruit salad; there’s everything.”
Francis noted that there are “violent persons of this religion [Islam],” immediately adding that “in pretty much every religion there is always a small group of fundamentalists. Fundamentalists. We have them.”...

He denounced the attacks...then he demanded Austria and the rest of Europe take in ever more Muslim immigrants.
I missed the condemnation.
I suspect he knows better, and is being dishonest.
The article called this man “His Holiness.” Calling the communist pervert this is enough to make you puke.
At least he did.
You cannot denounce the attack on Pearl Harbor without mentioning the Japanese. Likewise, you cannot denounce these frequent terror attacks without mentioning the Muslims.
Anyone who denounces any attack without mentioning the perpetrators is, at best, a weak and foolish individual. And an enabler as well.
What "Catholic violence"? The IRA was far more Marxist than Catholic. How many centuries do we have to go back to find this "Catholic violence"?
Frankie, it’s just mudslimes doing what their profit showed them to do.
You’ve capitulated to that already, need I remind you.
He compared it to a fruit salad.
The Francis should know a thing or two about fruit salads.
sit down Francis and stfu...just go wash their feet! that will stop it!!
This guy twists himself into more ridiculous logic knots than John Roberts does. And that's saying something.
“If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence,”
What a pile of steaming dung! Where exactly are catholics committing such atrocities?
Keep kowtowing to Islam you moron!
... How many centuries do we have to go back to find this “Catholic violence”?

The Pope is very out of line condemning anyone here. He simply doesn’t understand their culture. He needs to be more open and accepting and consider that people from other places behave differently. And because, Crusaders.
