Breitbart ^ | March 17, 2016 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 03/17/2016 7:41:21 AM PDT by C19fan

In his general audience Wednesday, Pope Francis launched an appeal to the nations of the world to open their hearts and their doors to migrants who are standing “at the border,” in an apparent reference to the many migrants camped at key border positions trying to enter Europe.

Tell the Pope to house them at the Vatican. After all they destroyed and invaded it once before. That’s the reason the Vatican has a wall around it.

Muslims view any area they held, or conquered in the past as belonging to them. So..........

Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us to bow our heads before Islam, submit to enslavement, worship their moon god, or take down our guard. At one point even Christ said that we would in the future have to take up the sword, not to conquer, but to defend. Nowhere are we told to conquer by the sword, nowhere are we told to attack.

Luke 22:36 36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

Walls have two purposes, to keep in, or keep out. The Berlin Wall was to keep people locked in the Communist state. Most wall in the past have been defensive.

A wall at our border will be defensive. Anyone who wants to leave can do so. The only problem is that the Mexicans may take offense at them crossing the border, and enforce Mexican law against illegal aliens from the US crossing into Mexican territory.

I really think this Pope hates Western Civilization.

My God, how did you come to that conclusion?

Believe it or not, there are FReepers who claim the Vatican is open and unguarded except for the ceremonial Swiss Guard.

  1. They obviously haven't been there
  2. The swiss guards are not ceremonial
  3. There are plenty of Italian police there as well (the ones who have the smgs)
That doesn't look like an "open door" policy to me.

“Believe it or not, there are FReepers who claim the Vatican is open and unguarded except for the ceremonial Swiss Guard.”

Swiss Guard are all highly trained and those on real guard duty carry automatic weapons.

A few do the ceremony in the funny outfits to show what it looked like in old times.

Those guys USED to be the real guard: Before guns, spears were the deadliest weapons available and camouflage wasn’t used on the battlefield.

Armies of wealthy nations wore those bright silly uniforms to differentiate sides and faced each other “like men”.

I wouldn’t have guessed they are actually Swiss Guard, but they are might intimidating looking. The place is more secure than a US airport.

moral neutrality and refusal to make moral judgments = spread of evil

Only after the Vatican opens its treasury to the world poor, open the Vatican to any and all who want to enter (and stay, and get the priests out of boy fannies. It is not pedophilia, it is homosexuality that is killing the church with hypocrisy. and oh yes, this idiot they are calling the Pope

When you see some small hometown church struggling to exist and then you look at the RCC and the Vatican you wonder.

My Dad makes the cassocks for the priests our family is deep into the Catholic Church.

The God knowingness I was born with would not allow me to stay with the church right out of highschool. I did not know what it was at the time, if you will think of Jesus at the Temple saying get OUT OF MY FATHER’s House!! is a great illustration of what happened inside me.

And I became more and more of a Religionist, I love the people of the Catholic Church. The Church itself is corrupt. TAKE HEART......This in no way effects how much God loves us.

Yeah, with the abuse of little boys and wealth that the church has, it does not add up Skydancer. I still love the church, I love going to mass, communing with God daily. This is a living faith.

The church corruption will not be tolerated by God. But he will also not interfere with the free will of Man.

The Vatican should break up the Sistine Chapel into pieces and sell them. I bet they whole thing would easily raise billions.

...."The West should not commit suicide to accomodate anti-Christian invaders.".....

God says 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge'..... It sees many catholics worldwide will go along with this Pope and the European Leaderships push to continue sending Muslims throughout the Western World.

There really are alternatives the World leaders could insist on in the East........l......

Screw this guy! I know I’ll take heat from Catholics for this. To speak to me from on high like you’ve got direct audience to God that no one else has. I’m not a religious person but first purge the sick pedophiles from your ranks before making any suggestions on how we should live.

Grrrr don’t get me started on religion we could be here all day

Nobody says Mexico needs 'diversity', or Africa or Asia, or Muslim countries. This is all a plan by Islamic leaders for Stealth Jihad via immigrant invasion into Western Countries.

Meanwhile the Arab nations have been creating a huge army In Saudi Arabia..largest ever military exercises with 20 Islamic countries was just completed..........Troops from Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan and Sudan are participating en masse in exercises involving ground troops, air and naval forces. The operations also included five Gulf countries.

Interesting is the Islamic Estatology writings say their armywill be massive and carry and wear black flags with one word "punishment")... that will go from nation to nation to punish the unbelievers. (note: the Iranian army today carries black flags because they want to be ready for the mahdi) ...looks like others are wearing this black shirt as well....
