Italy (Ammoland.com) Pope Francis spoke with a group of young people at a rally of thousands at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
Francis started by attacking the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as well as accusing the allies during World War Two of being complicit in the killing of Jews, Christians and homosexuals.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, saying.
“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 criticized those who invest in weapons industries (gun owners), saying “duplicity is the currency of today … they say one thing and do another.”
Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.
He spoke of the “tragedy of the Shoah,” using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.
“The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?”
It is surely an upside down world when the representative of G* on earth disparages the right to self defense and accuses the Greatest Generation of being complicit in Hitler’s genocide and the destruction of Europe and Russia.
I wonder how the Pope during the Crusades would have been received if he said something similar about sword manufacturers....
Can the Cardinals and Bishops recall this imposter? Or do they approve of his pronouncements?
The false prophet is here. If I had to compare his performance to any current figure, it would be Obama. There’s something really wrong with a Pope sounding like a politician. A politician who is as speaking and acting like a Christian as one could get!
He still has his armed guards at his fortified palace, correct?
The Popeness has gone to his Head
Could somebody please, please ask him where in the Bible did Jesus rail against the manufacturers of lances and shields?
Just more proof that the pope is just another human, nothing special.
But pro-abortionist Nancy Pelosi is a Christian? Just checking.
Does the Pope decide who is Christian?
Thanking Martin Luther for his courage and God-given inspiration every time I read something from this jumped-up preacher.
I think that the Swiss Guards that guard the pontiff carry pikes.
With all due respect to the exalted position, some of the things he says make me wonder if he is qualified to be the Pope.
I am not looking for a Holy War, it is just the way I see it.
What kind of mushrooms are they feeding this guy?
Exactly. You never hear the false pope call out abortionist this way.
This proves that Burglio is not a Christian himself.
“Just more proof that the pope is just another human, nothing special.”
Unfortunately, there have been plenty of popes in history who have done things that make your point.
Wonder if he’ll take time to also comment on the SCOTUS abortion decision today?
I won’t hold my breath.
Luke 22:36
New International Version
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.
Are some Catholics leaving the Church of Rome over these peculiar papal statements?
