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.
Yes.
Someone needs to put a cork in this moron.
Communist? Socialist? What difference does it make? Francis, Bernie, Obama, Hillary?
[35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
[36] Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
[37] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
We are suppose to judge one another sins with the same measure that we want them to judge our own. That is the problem with his statement, because the Vatican is a huge hypocrite in regards to guns.
Pretty much sums it up! Off his damn rocker imho.
Dude, he was talking about global weapons manfg. Krup, Mitsubishi, FN, et all. U B the ignorant 1!
If true, FDR will have to answer for that. But I’m thinking that the way to stop the holocaust was to end the war as soon as possible. Diverting air strikes to hit the rail lines might have hindered the Final Solution, but it wouldn’t have stopped it. And every airstrike that went at those lines meant a strategic target went un-hit extending the war.
It’s a tough-call. But what I object to is the Pope seems to assign blame to every citizen alive today in every country that was part of the Allied Powers.
Is the pope a catholic, makes me wonder about the bear in the woods.
How many more feet does this guy have to put in his mouth?
Yikes! Can this guy just STFU already!
Nope! Your just stupid going off on the pope because you think it’s all about you. It’s not!!!!!
Just as Queen Elizabeth’s guard wears bearskin headgear.
Were you his alter boy or something?
No, you mofo.
This Pope is all over the map. He’s a mess. You never what is going to come out of his, with the exception that it’s usually liberal. I will hear him say pro-life things sometimes, but that’s it.
Thanks for that. I may have to look around. I left the church in the early 70s. 20 years of latin masses and then the church turned into mini-Woodstocks with a bunch of longhairs (I was in the Army at the time) playing guitars.
Duct tape.
Oh,he is special all right. Just more proof he is a hand maiden for the antichrist.
He is sounding more and more like Chancey Gardener.
