Oh no, not a Pope who says no to war, I bet it makes you long for the day when Popes not only supported war, but waged it.
Next thing you know he will denounce capital punishment
“Oh no, not a Pope who says no to war”
Pope Francis made that statement in reference to Syria when Obama was gearing up to go to war.
The fools attacking the Pope are siding with Hillary and Obama on this one. They are immoral bastards and will likely go to hell.
‘Just say no to war’ is a bumpersticker, not a thought. How do you prevent evil from controlling everything if good refuses to fight?
As for denouncing capital punishment - God did not, so why should he?
“Compassionate fellow-feeling, however, can soon become self-indulgent and lead to spiritual pride. It imparts an inner glow, like a shot of whiskey on a cold day, but like whiskey it can prevent the clear-headedness which we need at least as much as we need warmth of heart. Pascal said that the beginning of morality was to think well; generosity of spirit is not enough.”
The Pope’s bumpersticker morality is an embarrassment. His predecessor had a mind. This Pope seems to be lacking it. He is like a 1967 hippie singing instead of someone with moral vision - which is WHY he was picked by Time magazine!
One of the popes agreed that capital punishment is OK if there is a possibility that the jail is not strong enough to hold the murderer. That seemed to me a thoughtful point of view.
It is similar to Ann Coulter’s statement that the problem with life sentences instead of execution is that when the Democrats get control, they release the murderers.
OK, now back to Pope Francis.
