Yeah, but we did it before and we can do it again...

In an impassioned address Friday, Pope Francis denied the existence of Islamic terrorism, while simultaneously asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.” “Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist,” Francis said in his speech to a world meeting of populist movements. What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact. “No people is criminal or drug-trafficking or violent,” Francis said, while also suggesting—as he has on other occasions—that terrorism is primarily a result of economic inequalities rather than religious beliefs. “The poor and the poorer peoples are accused of violence yet, without equal opportunities, the different forms of aggression and conflict will find a fertile terrain for growth and will eventually explode.” The Pope also reiterated his conviction that all religions promote peace and that the danger of violent radicalization exists equally in all religions. “There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions—and with intolerant generalizations they become stronger because they feed on hate and xenophobia,” he said. While denying the existence of Islamic terrorism, Francis also seemed to condemn the denial of global warming, asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.” “A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system,” he said. We know “what happens when we deny science and disregard the voice of Nature,” the Pope said. “Let us not fall into denial. Time is running out. Let us act. I ask you again—all of you, people of all backgrounds including native people,

The Vatican has become polluted and this pope is a product of it.
And polluted churches is not just a Catholic problem.
Some Lutheran churches I know of are in dire need of house-cleaning.
An Episcopal church in town had an Aztec sun worship performance going on outside last summer.
That's not what the Koran and Hadiths say, and 1400 years of history show.
How can anyone in the religion business be so uniformed about a competitive religion like Islam? -Tom
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for him. “:^)
This Pope is a piece of horse dung...
And he has no calling with my God, the father of my Lord Jesus Christ.
The pope is clueless, islam does not worship the true God, one would think a pope would understand Christ words..
“Pope Francis: ‘Muslim Terrorism Does Not Exist’”
Well Pope Ass-Clown, you are a big freaking hypocrite! When that French priest was murdered in Normandy by, wait for it, Mulim terrorists you condemned their action. You can’t have it both ways! If Muslim Terrorism didn’t exist, that elderly priest would still have his head attached to his body!! How about this, just STFU and clean up your own house! I am so tired of this guy! I grew up a devout Catholic, attended 16 years of Catholic school. I still have a great relationship with God, but the men of this Church have ruined it for many of us.
You may want to give this poor guy a break as he already lives in an alternate universe.
A short explanation is that Scriptural Christianity calls for the believer to set aside malice and hatred and violence and to advocate for the peace of Christ, grace by faith in Jesus Christ who will save any and all sinners who belive on Him alone as Lord and Savior.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:
Frank is out of his tiny little mind.
Yeah, but we did it before and we can do it again...
“I honestly believe that he would direct his flocks to submit to Islam if he thought he could get away with it.”
From what I read and hear, he’s in the process of loosing substantial portions of his “flock.”
yeah..?
Go give Mass in Malmo.
Put your cranium where your mouth is, lessee WHAT HAPPENS, but pray hard first.
He’s not my Pope.
We will just have to wait him out the way we waited Obama out.
am having a senior moment - what is the name given the communist catholic priests in Central & South America during the 60’s and 70’s???
Whatever it is, the current Pope qualifies as one of them, IMO.
White Courtesy telephone, please...
This Pope is not my Pope and many other Catholics feel this way also. There can not be two Pope’s at one time it’s against the Roman Catholic Church rules. As I told my mother-in-law this imposter with diarrhea mouth needs to be removed and silenced he is terrorizing the Catholic Church and pulling it apart. He is to the Catholic Church the same as Obama was to America...
He should go to Paris and announce that to the world.
I recommend Nov. 13th. in front of a large crowd in a soccer stadium.
This is dangerous, DANGEROUS loose talk. The man is cuddling up to the Muzzies. Dangerous heretic.
He must not realize that the Muslims would behead him if they had the opportunity.
How many Catholic churches will even mention this?
Follow Christ, not men.
