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."

Pope Francis: “…it is the communists who think like Christians”

I'll alert the Christians in North Korea that are being tortured in living Hell prison camps that their oppressors are the real Christians.

Wouldn’t it be a shame if Frances croaked before Benedict?

When I was a little girl (early 1960s) I thought the Castro convertible commercials were saying that Fidel Castro had conquered space!

I would say by that statement made by Romney, he has his ‘magic underwear’ on backwards...Mormons believe in the three degrees of allotment...and he just blew it...

Newt is right...we all know where Castro is going...say hi to Satan when you get there...

TOO LATE!

Praying for the physical dead is a waste of time. Their fate has already been decided for all eternity.

The Marxists are taking over ALL Christian churches using levers like homosexuality and gay marriage to climb to the top. This started with the god damned Berrigans and other anti war freaks in all Christian faiths back in the 1960s. It has to stop. The decent patriotic people in all Christian churches have to start taking their churches back from these freaks and monsters and grab them al by the butt and kick them the hell out!! NOW!! Get that Pope out of there!! Kick these ministers and bishops out of the Methodist, etc.

I'll bet this pope will never set foot in Poland.

He was in Poland in August for World Youth Day. Not disagreeing with your sentiments just letting you know. He certainly didn't have the crowds like JPII, though.

Wonder if he will have a prayer of celebration for the people of Cuba who are free of this tyrant. Celebrate freedom.
Don’t praise a monster second only to Hitler and stalin and Mao.

You need to breathe and chill out. Your coronary is just around the corner. Find a different church or start your own

With the recent election of DJT, the Christian right is starting to assert itself again.

? This leftist crap starts in the Churches and schools, my health is fine, and this is a serious spreading problem infecting the Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, ECLA and Episcopalian churches. I have every right to criticize them and will continue to do so.

“This Catholic is celebrating. “

Your next celebration should be renouncing this Pope as the leader of your church. This man, and I use the term loosely, is an unqualified disgrace. And while you are at it, you need to clean out the College of Cardinals who elected him. Never thought of Catholics as Communists, but you sure have one for your church’s supreme leader.

This Pope has been packing the College of Cardinals, the body that elects popes, with communists for years now.

“Why does the pope have to make a statement of grief like that?”
___________________________________________________________

Because he and Castro are both like-minded communist a$$holes, that’s why.
