and they gave Arafat the Nobel Peace Prize - one the most murderous terrorists of modern times.

Sure. And Obama is a US-born Christian.

The Pope pooped.

RE: Cue the “What the Pope Really Meant” crowd....

Well, speaking about “What the Pope REALLY meant”...

I am cutting and pasting a post from another FReeper.

Here is one of the comments at the Blaze article:

this story came from the AP, and they are notorious for recontextualizing.

The Pope did not say Abbas “you are a man of peace”,, he said “you are KNOWN as a man of peace”

“peace” is the basic philosophical tenant of Islam, it is attained by submitting to Allah. Therefore, islam is peace to Palestinians, but not in the Western context of nonviolence. So, when the Pope used the word peace, was he speaking to Palestinians or the West… he was speaking to Palestinians.

“you are known as a man of peace (Islam)”

I don’t know enough to gauge the insight, if it is one.

Other commenters opined that the pope is painting Abbas into a corner. Wishful thinking?

what we apparently have is the Joe Biden of popes.

Wish I could laugh but it hurts.

I'm afraid this pope has a "peaceful" one-world "religion" in mind.

I think this Pope has a talent for misspeaking and the mainstream media are well aware of it and willing to use it.
Once they identify a figure with this problem, especially a religious or conservative figure, they follw him/her like the pack of curs they are, waiting for more examples of misspeak.

Either by acutal design, or by ineptitude, he is unfit for the office which he holds.

Pope Francis is adamant in his repudiation of “capitalism” calling it a form of slavery.

Pope Francis’ Gospel is centered in his love for the poor, but he does not repudiate Marxism, the main purveyor of misery and slavery in the world. To his critics Francis has responded that he doesn’t care if is being call communist because he knows many good communists, in fact, he has close ties with the leaders and followers of Marxist Liberation Theology, a perversion of the Faith condemned by Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

Also Francis expressed his brotherly love for Muslims during his trip to Jerusalem.

Since the Communists have killed more Christians than the Nazis, and the Muslims have murdered more Christians than the Communists and the Nazis together, moreover, they still keep slavering and killing Christians!!! Does Francis share the same love for the Nazis than the one he expressed so eloquently for Communists and Muslims?

There is nothing--absolutely nothing--surprising about this. The ancient liturgical churches (of which the Catholic is the best known) simply have no use for a Jewish return to sovereignty in 'Eretz Yisra'el. Until very modern times they have always considered the Jewish expulsion from Israel as one of the "proofs" of chrstianity, and the Jewish return there has always been a theological problem for them.

Meanwhile, Jewish liberals and ecumenists fall all over the ancient churches because they are ethnic, non-missionary, and liberal. Genuinely philo-Semitic American Fundamentalist chrstians are treated like lepers because they talk funny and interpret Genesis literally, which to any "respectable" person means they're "stupid."

I often wonder what the much-touted new attitude towards the Jews was really all about if the collective Jewish return to Israel still has absolutely no meaning to Catholics. Apparently for VII Catholics philo-Semitism (which doesn't include support of Israel) is simply another form of ecumenical liberalism. So much for the "old covenant" still being in effect.

I wonder when someone will explain the Muslim practice of Taqiyya to the Pope. Taqiyya requires Muslims to lie to infidels in such a way that it will further the acceptance of Islam.

"Palestinian" chrstians are fanatically anti-Israel and pro-PLO. He's just doing what the Middle East's "indigenous" chrstians want him to do.

I just can’t believe what I am reading here. Oh well, when you elect a commie Pope from South America, I guess this is what you get. Where does Ann Barnhardt stand on the commie pope?

There were and are a lot of "anti-Communist" Catholics who blame Communism on the Jews and think Israel is the headquarters of the "new world order." And they support the PLO every bit as much as any Communist.

After all, this is the Pope who wrote last November that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” If “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence,” then Abbas is certainly a “man of peace.”

Damned fool!!

[pgkdan]

I couldn’t agree more. If the Holy Spirit doesn’t see fit to remove this idiot from the papacy soon I’m going to remove myself from his church.

___________________________________

I am not Catholic, and I don’t believe in Papal Infallibility, but let’s not misunderstand the term and what it intends to mean.

Papal Infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church that says “When, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a DOCTRINE CONCERNING FAITH OR MORALS to be held by the whole Church.”, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error.

This is referred to as speaking ex cathedra — Speaking from the Chair of St. Peter.

This particular statement Francis made about Abbas does NOT qualify as speaking ex cathedra, therefore, does NOT preserve him from error.

I don’t think I have in my lifetime seen any Pope officially speaking ex cathedra yet ( but I may be wrong ).

> In its official program, the Vatican referred to President Mahmoud Abbas as the president of the ‘state of Palestine,’ and his Bethlehem office as the ‘presidential palace.’ He pointedly called Abbas a ‘man of peace.’” ... Abbas is the “man of peace” who said on March 15, 2013: “As far as I am concerned, there is no difference between our policies and those of Hamas.” ...Hamas’s Al Aqsa TV has featured a music video that proclaimed: “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.”

Is this the anti-Christ?
