Pope Francis on Sunday criticized people who traveled abroad during the pandemic “to escape the lockdown,” saying they were ignoring those who were suffering.
In his weekly noontime Sunday address, Francis said, “I read in the papers something that quite saddened me: In a country — I don’t remember which — to escape the lockdown and have a good vacation more than 40 planes took off that afternoon.”
“Those people are good people, but didn’t they think of those who stayed at home, to the economic problems of many people who have been knocked down by the pandemic, to those who are ill?” Francis added. They thought “only to go on vacation, to have fun.”
“This really saddens me,” Francis said in a message streamed from the Vatican’s apostolic library. The pope normally blesses the faithful on Sundays from a window in a palace above St. Peter’s Square, but Italy has been on lockdown for the past 10 days, and the square is closed.

Frankie, just STFU.
Tear down the Vatican wall, Pope fraudster.
Let the muzzie invaders have some lebensraum inside.
His conntention that nobody should escape the lo kdowns because not everyone can is asi ine.
Even as a Protestant, I have never been tempted to tell a pope to just f**k off. But this guy wins the prize.
If you’re locked down, you aren’t interacting with the suffering anyways.
😂
Would he criticize 1940s Polish Jews traveling abroad to escape the ghetto?

Thou shalt not move. It’s in the book...you know that thing...Book of Palms...yeah that’s it. 😎
I’ve known it for a long time now, and perhaps the rest of the world will start seeing it too, that, Francis is the devil in disguise. Satan has taken over his soul, and there isn’t a powerful enough exorcist in the world to drive the devil out of him.
Lighten up,Francis.
Glad he was able to ignore the “painful sciatica” that kept him from Mass long enough to take the speck out of his brother’s eye.
He says a “country, he doesn’t remember which....”.......This Pope is a liar. We know he’s talking about The United States because like any other good Godless Communist, he hates the USA. Foolish Jerk.
Frankie who’s never missed a meal...
HEY !!! Frankie !!!
It saddens hungry people hat you dont think of them and refuse those rich man’s delicacies ...
HOW DARE YOU !!! eat while there are hungry people in the world ...
He seems to be speaking as the head of the Vatican state, and not as the Vicar of Christ.
