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.
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.
Pope, get rid of your armed guards or you’re not Christian.
The Swiss Guards that you see carry halberds.
The Swiss Guards that you don’t see prefer H&K ...
“Are some Catholics leaving the Church of Rome over these peculiar papal statements?”
Maybe those who’ve been looking for an excuse to leave the Church will. I know I never will leave the Church because Christ is Eternal & the pope is just a man.
Whaaaaaaat????
Tell you what, Jorge: We will see when we get to Heaven. “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12
Gun manufactures are like baby milk factories compared to the Catholic church’s history.
That’s OK. I am also not a Christian because I am a Protestant and I’m not a Christian because I don’t go to church on Saturday and I’m not a Christian because I didn’t say this specific prayer and I don’t exclusively use a KJV Bible.
Funny. I don’t think Pope Francis is Christian.
Where’s Mr. Ed when you need him?
You’re not a Christian if you don’t defend yourself, your family or your country. G-d gave me life and I don’t intend for some mussie creep to take it.
This world is getting lonelier for me (and those like me) by the day.
White, male, Christian, straight, married, father, working, tax paying, gun owner, patriotic, American Conservatives are the most hated group on this planet. Even the Pope suggests we are evil (going to hell?).
When do we get our civil rights victim movement?
Thank you for educating me on some of these particulars.
It seems to me that their duty is to Christ, and not some Pope teaching heresies. I guess we’ll see if they come out and oppose this creep!
The banality of evil.
In this case the stupidity too.
Used to have Reagan and John Paul II, now the magic negro and an ex-bartender from Argentina. One huge step into the pit.
Have fun in the sixth circle of hell, Francis.
Quite the opposite:
Luke 22:36
"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."
I hope that you checked out my tagline there...
This pope met with O’bummer WHILE O’bummer was attacking
The -Little sisters of the poor- for Not wanting to fund abortions
No big reply from this pope
But a better idea of who this pope is.....him wearing a necklace
With a crucifix superimposed over the communist hammer
And sickle..... That is Blasphemy in any Christian religion
He never ever apologized
He is a communist first always has been- cooperating with the
Leftists of his native Argentina
The Swiss Guard uses traditional weapons, such as a sword and a halberd, as well as modern weapons such as the SIG P220 and Glock 19 pistols, the Steyr TMP machine pistol and submachine guns like the Heckler & Koch MP5A3.
