Pope Francis calls out nuns with 'vinegar faces': Pontiff tells sisters to be more friendly and avoid gossip

Pope Francis has called out nuns with 'vinegar faces' and told them to avoid gossip in a bizarre tirade.

The pope, 88, urged a group of Dominican nuns from the Union of St Catherine of Siena of the Missionaries to 'distance' themselves from tales.

'Gossip kills, gossip poisons. Please, no gossiping among you, none. And to ask this of a woman is heroic but, come on, let's move forward and no gossip', he said in one of his off-the-cuff speeches that are fast becoming part and parcel of his papacy.

'That's not something that helps to attract people. Vinegar is nasty and nuns with a vinegar face, let's not even talk about it', he added.

Pope Francis, who became the leader of the Catholic church in 2013, also urged the nuns not to speak with the Devil.

'The Lord has shown us that he spoke with everyone, except … there was one person that the Lord never spoke with: the Devil.

'Please, speak with everyone except the Devil. The Devil enters the community, he sees the jealousies, all those things that belong to all humans, not just women, everyone, that's where the Devil goes. No dialogue with the Devil, understood? We don't speak with the Devil.'

He has long courted controversy - earlier this year, he was reported to have used derogatory language against gay people when talking about men training to be priests in seminaries.

Dear Your Holiness Pope Francis,

Regarding the "vinegar faces" of certain nuns. Me thinks this has to do with their disapproval of certain shenanigans going on at the Vatican. Perhaps this is their way of expressing their displeasure and since rapping knuckles is out of the question they give "that look.

Sincerely,

Morgana

This fagpope needs to worry about his own toilet face.

WHO KNEW that Poop Frankie is a misogynistic pile of dogsqueeze?

I miss Pope Wojtyła.

'The Lord has shown us that he spoke with everyone, except … there was one person that the Lord never spoke with: the Devil.

Clearly Pope Frankie doesn't know his Bible.

 

Matthew 4

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness

1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“ ‘He will command his angels concerning you,

and they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

7Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9“All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

11Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

It strikes me that he’s going down the Biden senility path.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Sweet Lips Francis strikes again.

[grumpygresh]

This pope is so ignorant of the Bible.
Matthew 4:1-11 Jesus tempted by the devil

[Triple]

It seems the pope is unfamiliar with Jesus and the gospels.

Not surprising!

[kiryandil]

He certainly does a lot of stereotyping of women - for a guy who has never had a close-up relationship with a woman.

[Jamestown1630]

How do we know that?

[pgyanke]

Check out the book of Job…

[kiryandil]

Good point.

He seems familiar with Pachamama, in a sort of Onanistic way...

[BipolarBob]

for a guy who has never had a close-up relationship with a woman.

Didn't he used to work at a bar? Who said he's never had relations with a woman?

The Dominican Order was arguably the most successful order in history. It was founded to combat the Albigensian heresy.

Why was it successful?

When was the last time you met an Albigensian?

[DallasBiff]

You never went to a Catholic school with a ruler wielding nun, did you.

Something about removing the log from your own eye.... I think it was in the Bible.... I wonder if Pope Marx has read it....

[Just mythoughts]

There is NOTHING ‘holy’ about this degenerate .... But stupid people cannot help themselves.
