Pope Francis said the death of Cuba's revolutionary leader Fidel Castro was "sad news" and that he was grieving and praying for his repose.

The pope, who met Fidel Castro when he visited Cuba last year, said he had received the "sad news" and added: "I express to you my sentiments of grief."

Why does the pope have to make a statement of grief like that. Why can’t he keep his pie hole closed if he wants to grieve the loss of an evil dictator? Does he also cry on the anniversary of Stalin’s death? ...and mourn the loss of Mao?

In the case of this commie fool, almost certainly yes.

I’m a Catholic, he ain’t my Pope.

This “Pope” is Francis the Talking Mule. He is an enemy of western civilization.

Francis is nothing but a communist mole. He should be beaten and thrown out of the Vatican like Altus treacherous bun that he is. I’ll bet this pope will never set foot in Poland. What a disgrace.

The pope is a communist. The current most respected communist just died. The Pope is in grief.

This Pope is a socialist, therefore he grieves for other socialists when they die. He seems like a wolf to me.


15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It has always been said that the Catholic Church to be vibrant and meaningful must be essentially counter cultural to the whims, pleasures and practices of a decadent society. Sadly this Pope instead gravitates to the bloody and decadent Left which has been a disaster for mankind. He grieves for one of its icons. Nevertheless there is always hope that this Argentine Pope when praying, meditating or reflecting will realize that Trump is elected, the vile Obama administration is ending, Castro is dead and indeed the hand of the Almighty is at work.
