Well...there are lot of people who would kill the pope and Catholics and Christians and atheists and Hindus and Buddhists and so on...The only to stop that is with guns / weapons. Remember Nazis your holiness?

I think the Pope is reaching far beyond his expertise as to what can happen in a world of evil people. I would think the Pope has knowledge of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot and some others. Perhaps he is just trying to tell us not to be like those persons. However, my advice to the Pope is that one has to really understand history of prior years before trying to remake it.

What about the Christians who supplied the weapons which beat back the Muslim hordes at the Gates of Vienna and off the coast of Lepanto?

Thank God that this pretender of a pope wasn't around in those days.
