Thank God. Humanity can’t stand by and watch genocide.

Soooo, if Russians with the Chi Rho on their body armor move in and fight ISIS in Iraq is it called an evil Russian invasion or just what the doctor ordered?

Let’s see how long the Pope can keep his cajones before we confirm his change of heart. He’s peddled a lot of Leftist drivel these last few years; his statement may be a genuine “waking-up”, or it may be desperately pandering to the few sane Catholics who remain.

Francis, if you commit to an unequivocal slaughter of these Muslim swine (and use actions to back up your words), your Church may yet be saved. We could use a strong Catholic Church to stamp out Islamist and secularist rot out of the world.

I’ll volunteer. But only if I get to write the rules of engagement.

Kill all members of ISIS even if they surrender. Give their weapons to the Christians and teach them to use them.

I’ve never heard of anything like this. This pope is famous for being misquoted though.

So, is this the green light for a new Crusade? When I was in HS, our mascot was a Crusader!

I haven't seen this call for a "professional, well-equipped army" attributed to Pope Francis by any online news source except Catholics Online, which is not an official source.

I have seen a number of stories which attribute this quote to Chaldean Patriarch Louis Sako of Baghdad, articles dated August 7.

"The central Iraqi government appears incapable of protecting its citizens," THE PATRIARCH said, "and there is no cooperation or coordination with the regional government."

"The Islamic State fighters, he [Sako] said, are taking advantage of the power vacuum “to impose their rule and terror. There is a need of international support and a professional, well-equipped army. The situation is going from bad to worse."

etc.

Check on the news tab at google with keywords

patriarch "professional, well-equipped army"

All of these articles apparently trace back to one source: a story by Cindy Wooden of the Catholic News Service (LINK). All of them use "Pope" in the headline, but all of them attribute the "armed" quote to Chaldean Patriarch Louis Sako of Baghdad, who is the Catholic Bishop of Baghdad.

Ground to a Halt (Research shows: Suicide-bombers Communists, not Islamists
New York Times ^ | August 3, 2006 | ROBERT PAPE

Posted on Wed Aug 9 01:23:46 2006 by GodGunsGuts

...

In writing my book on suicide attackers, I had researchers scour Lebanese sources to collect martyr videos, pictures and testimonials and the biographies of the Hezbollah bombers. Of the 41, we identified the names, birth places and other personal data for 38. Shockingly, only eight were Islamic fundamentalists. Twenty-seven were from leftist political groups like the Lebanese Communist Party and the Arab Socialist Union. Three were Christians, including a female high-school teacher with a college degree. All were born in Lebanon.

...

Robert A. Pape, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, is the author of “Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism.”

Harb pledges to be forceful president [Maronite "ready to fight" Israel, "protect Hezbollah"]
Lebanese Lobby (Lebanon) ^ | 11SEP07 | Francis Matthew

Posted on Wed Sep 12 03:12:26 2007 by familyop

"Beirut: Boutros Harb, long-serving Maronite Lebanese Member of Parliament, is standing for president and reaching out to the Shiite Hezbollah, across the political divide in the country.

[...]

"I have proposed that the Lebanese army and government must be in control of declaring war, and that we should find a way to incorporate Hezbollah's forces into the army. But this has to be on the condition that the Lebanese government and army accept the full duty of being ready to fight and protect Hezbollah if Israel attacks," he said, adding that it was also important that Lebanon had to liberate the occupied territory of the Sheba'a Farms from Israel."

"The ship is sinking and all of us, the Lebanese, should stick together and work together to stop the Israeli aggression," Amin Gemayel, a Maronite Christian who served as president from 1982 to 1988, told the Arabic-language TV station Al-Jazeera . . . Michel Aoun, a one-time commander in Lebanon's 15-year civil war who now serves in parliament, said . . . "I don't think that Israel has the capability to destroy Hezbollah militarily because Hezbollah is not a group of armed men," Aoun said. "Hezbollah is a major part of the Lebanese social fabric."

Absolutely.

The Commandment DOES NOT SAY “Thou shalt not KILL”. It says “Thou shalt not MURDER” (which is the malicious taking of the life of an innocent!).

Those who assault and MURDER innocents may be KILLED with impunity as it is an a fully justified act of SELF DEFENSE!

Let THAT killing begin!

You know things are bad when the Pope tells people to grab your guns and start shooting.
