Pope meets 'angel of peace' Abbas ahead of landmark accord recognising Palestine
The Express Tribune ^ | May 16, 2015 | AFP

Pope Francis met Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Saturday, calling him “an angel of peace,” days after the Vatican said it was preparing to sign its first accord with Palestine to the anger of Israel.

Abbas met the pontiff for about 20 minutes for a private audience, a meeting that comes a day before the pope is due to canonise two Palestinian nuns, who will become the first Palestinian Arabs to gain sainthood.

Abbas financed the Munich Olympics Atrocity.

Is that, and the other murders directed by
Abbas, now endorsed by the Church?

Mahmud Abbas “an angel of peace,”?

Is it just me, or does this Pope seem morally confused?

If the West ever succumbs to Islam, it will be because of leaders like him.

She’s not seriously considering anything that secondary. This is fluff spit out to help her shaky campaign and to divert discussion from “Clinton Cash”, “@Clintonemail.com”, “Benghazi”, “Russian Relations Reset”, “HillaryDrinksLikeAFish.com”, “CarpetLickersQuarterly.com” and all the other things that are vexing her campaign.

C’mon now. How is this in any way sensical at this point?

The Pope should stick to global warming if he’s into fantasy stuff...

Wide collars and pointy hats.

Yeah, this sounds like a good idea.

It would seem this Pope is a dope.

Trivial Vatican acknowledges trivial Palestinian authority

trivial + trivial = trivial

No. The Palestinian Authority is one of many fronts for the Caliphate whose aim is “Arab unity” under Islam.

I’m not a Catholic, so have not followed this as closely as I could have, but, is there a good explanation as to why “the rottweiler” Pope stepped down and this seemingly liberation-theology-believing guy was put in as Pope?

This definitely does NOT pass any sort of smell test.

Unfortunately he is more dangerous than a dope or joke.

A friend of mine, former catholic, has been on a crusade to get as many people out of that church as possible. I never really had any great angst nor love for that institution, but based on the actions of this pope and the church itself, I am beginning to share her view that this ‘church’ is nothing but a self-adoring cult based on wealth redistribution enforced by baseless guilt.

The Pope is a knee-jerk leftist boob. He has banished everyone who might offer a differing or moderating influence. This is precisely how he behaved in Argentina—where he left the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires a shambles.

Remember the famous “secret” report prepared for Ratzinger, about the “homo-lobby” in the Vatican? It’s the homo-lobby that elected Bergoglio. Now Bergoglio is an embarrassment even to the homo-lobby, and they are abandoning him.

He is more and more isolated. In five years, it will be: “Jorge Who?”

Really?
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.

— Zuheir Mohsen of the PLO to Truow, 03/31/1977
What about their being an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood is not understood? or about the phrase “Arab unity”?

Not me. I still think the Catholic Church is the best way to salvation and has been that way for 2000 years in spite of special interests thru the ages.

It appears to me that this Pope is from the dark side.
