TURIN, Italy, June 21 (Reuters) - People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry at a rally of thousands of young people at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
"If you trust only men you have lost," he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.
"It makes me think of ... people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn't it?" he said to applause.
He also criticised those who invest in weapons industries, saying "duplicity is the currency of today ... they say one thing and do another."

Wait a minute; weapons manufacturers can’t call themselves Christian but homosexuals, various sexual deviants, socialists, and abortionists can?
Has this Pope ever heard of Charles Martel?
Who knew? The Papacy has been infiltrated with a Marxist Commiunist Progressive.
The Pope’s advisor and speechwriter, Screwtape, certainly is busy these days.
Can the Pope be recalled? This is a serious question.
THis guyy is a loose cannon uhhhh canon.. Uhhhh
Pass the mogen David sacramental wine, Pope!
I don’t know why this pope comments on everything and anything. I can’t remember another pope expressing his opinion on a daily basis like this one.
Oh come on, Popie. We’ve seen pictures of the immigrants rampaging in Rome….you may need to buy your grandma a gun to protect herself. Or don’t you care?

The pope is an idiotic moron.
This Pope is not Christian.

That does it - I’m going to buy some SWHC this week.
I don’t understand why this would be duplicity. I am in favor of firearm ownership.
Pinochet regime...Argentina?? You need to work on your facts.
I so totally agree with you!
Does this mean it is evil to be in the military? If making a gun is evil, how much more so using it against someone! Guess Pope Peron won’t take me up and stay i my spare bedroom in Arizona this summer (air conditioning not included, of course) since I’m ex-military....and own guns.
I assume the Vatican guards all use hand-to-hand only?
Didn't China just ban Ramadan?
Next up, Easter.
