"Pope Francis has criticized the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant families at the Mexican border…Speaking to Reuters, the Pope said he supported recent statements by U.S. Catholic bishops who called the separation of children from their parents 'contrary to our Catholic values' and 'immoral.'" (Reuters, June 20, 2018)
“During their meeting the Pope thanked comrade Fidel Castro for his contributions to world peace in a world saturated with hate and aggression." (Cuba’s Communist party paper, Sept 21st 2015.)
“What?!” Nikita Khrushchev gasped on Oct. 28th 1962, as recalled by his son Sergei. “Is he (Fidel Castro) proposing that we start a nuclear war?! That we launch missiles from Cuba?!...But that is INSANE!..Remove them (our missiles) as soon as possible! Before it’s too late. Before something terrible happens!” commanded the Soviet premier.
Well, so much for the Fake News Media, Fake Academia, and Hollywood/ Camelot's fairy tale of: “JFK standing up to the Russians in Cuba!” In fact, Khrushchev’s panic that Fidel, Raul and Che might get their fingers too close to the buttons is what got the missiles out.
“Of course I knew the missiles were nuclear- armed,” responded Fidel Castro to Robert McNamara during a meeting in 1992. “That’s precisely why I urged Khrushchev to launch them. And of course Cuba would have been utterly destroyed in the exchange."
But this is hardly the first time that this Pope, who habitually hails mass-murderer/war-mongers Castro and Che Guevara, has denounced Donald Trump. "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian." (Pope Francis after holding a showy mass in Ciudad Juarez for the Mexicans who died trying to cross the U.S. border, Feb. 18, 2016.)
But AH! Upon one of his many fond visits to Stalinist Cuba Pope Francis held an even showier mass in the company of Castro and with Che Guevara as the backdrop. Never mind that about 20 times as many Cubans have died trying to escape Castro’s Cuba as died trying to escape East “Tear Down this Wall!” Germany. Never mind any of that.
And what makes this death tally in the Florida straits more horrible (and the Pope’s hypocrisy more revolting) is that prior to Castro and Che Guevara’s destruction of Cuban society, the prosperous island nation took in more immigrants per-capita (mostly European) than the U.S.
You’d never guess this from the Fake News media, Hollywood or your professors, but in 1953 more Cubans vacationed in the U.S. (and voluntarily returned to Cuba) than Americans in Cuba. Yes, for pre-Castro Cubans the U.S. was a “tourist playground.”
“What?” you say. But you’ve always heard that it was the other way around? That Cuba was a tourist playground for Americans? Indeed it was—but the tourist traffic went both ways, as befit a nation described by a 1957 UNESCO report thusly: "One feature of the Cuban social structure is a large middle class. So check it out here--and please click links for thorough documentation.
Point is, during the 1950s and based in Florida, Sheriff Joe Arpaio would have been lonelier than the Maytag repairman.
In fact, the affection by Argentine Pope Francis for the Stalinist regime co-founded by his compatriot Che Guevara (and for Communism in general) became so flagrant that Yale professor, world-acclaimed Catholic scholar and National Book Award Winner Dr Carlos Eire long ago dubbed him “Papa Che.”
“It is the communists,” Pope Francis told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica two years ago, “that think like Christians. Christ has spoken of a society where the poor, the weak and the excluded are those who make the decisions.” Castro’s captive (literally!) press was quick to spread this bit of gratifying news.
“I am not Christ or a philanthropist,” wrote Che Guevara in a letter to his mother. “I am all the contrary of a Christ -- In fact, if Christ himself stood in my way, I, like Nietzsche, would not hesitate to squish him like a worm.
Yet, as mentioned: an enormous image of Che Guevara formed the backdrop to Pope Francis’s showy mass in Havana in Sept. 2015.
Outrageously enough, the Castro regime has received the most papal visits recently of any Latin American nation, equaling the number of papal visits to Brazil, with a population of 200 million, 130 million of them declared Catholics. In contrast, Cuba has a population of 11 million, only a tiny fraction of which are practicing Catholics. Someone’s got some serious “‘splainin'” to do for this papal fetish of constantly visiting Stalinist Cuba and chumming around with her Stalinist rulers.
Interestingly, more Popes (three) have recently visited Cuba -- a nation with many more crypto-voodooists than Catholics -- than have visited Mexico (with 97 million Catholics). Hello? And as Joan Rivers used to ask: “Can we talk?” (about this glaring and –for many—disgusting incongruity.)
Many view the Papal motivation for visiting Cuba similarly to the motivation of Beyonce, Conan O’Brien, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Oliver Stone, Sean Penn, and Jeff Fake’s etc. etc. etc.. The Popes get plenty of press and get to poke Uncle Sam in the eye. In this respect, they seem no different from all those loud-mouthed, Castro-hugging celebrity and political popinjays.
The Communist Pope!
Is the Pope Catholic?
HELL NO
No offense to Catholics but this “pope” needs a swift kick in the rear.
Remember folks, when this great nation was formed by the Founding Fathers, we became a stench to religio-politic leaders, because the Founders exalted THE INDIVIDUAL and his personal responsibility to Deity over the religious State.
See the Dope from behind is Vatican Wall.
Just a thought. Doesn’t the Catholic Church run boarding schools in many problem countries? Like that one in Africa where the girls were abducted, many of them still not found after all these years.
Wrong. It’s not immoral, and the pope is an a$$ for not finding out that this is the same policy as under bammy.
We have a fake pope.
Check out the Pope’s border policy.
It is more immoral than President Trump’s.

Pope accused of ignoring 120 asylum seekers taking refuge in the Basilica despite saying church must be ‘the first port of call’ for migrants
He promised that the Vatican would throw open its convents and monasteries as shelters, while saying that the church must be ‘the first port of call’ for migrants.
But Pope Francis is seemingly remaining silent in the face of a group of 50 immigrant families, who have taken shelter in his favourite church in Rome.
Around 120 migrants, including 15 children, have been occupying Santa Maria Maggiore, the giant basilica where Francis goes to seek guidance before every major endeavour, for more than a week.
The group, from Algeria, Morocco, Ukraine as well as Romania, have requested asylum from the Vatican after being evicted from their squat in Torre Spracata, a district in south-eastern Rome by Italian authorities.
A letter to the Pope asking for help began: ‘Dear Francis, we are men, women and children, inhabitants of Rome and citizens of Planet Earth.
‘We ask that you make yours the wounds that we carry, that you grant us as human beings who have been persecuted, harassed and humiliated by the Italian State, political asylum.’
But after eight days they have heard nothing.
The church which is officially Vatican territory like all of the four great Basilicas of Rome shuts to parishioners and pilgrims at 8pm every night whereupon the group lay out their beds on its marble floors.
They rise at 5.30am and tidy their beds away before mass at 7am. During the day some go to work, while others attempt to sleep in an adjoining nave, or care for children playing in the car park.
Rome city council has offered the group accommodation, but they refused it because they say there is no electricity there and some of the inhabitants there have tuberculosis.
It is not the first time the church has been occupied. In February anti-austerity demonstrators in the Pitchfork Movement set up camp there saying they had urgent questions for Francis.
Don Angelo, one of the priests at the church, told La Repubblica: ‘The Basilica is beginning to feel the weight of their presence.
‘They are good people.... But unlike other churches we don’t have another room for parishioners or a space to put them in. This is a holy place that at night turns into a dormitory. ‘

How many “immigrants “ are allowed into the Vatican ? What percent of their immense wealth do they spend on immigrants to the Vatican ? Rich hypocritical losers.
The man is of no consequence
He has no divisions.
Tear down your Vatican wall Pope Bigmouth.
As a (former?) Catholic, no need to preface your statements about the pope with an kind of apology.
"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian."
Pope Francis
Start by withholding the millions our govt sends to Catholic Charities that helps our immigration and refugee resettlements
I agree. No public monies for the Catholic Church or any religious institution. Period. End of Sentence.
I like Pope Francis. He’s brought down a lot of the orestebce that exists in the holy Ronan Catholic Church.
But until the walls of the Vatican come tumbling down and the great unwashed of Italy take up squatting in the square, Pope Francis has no business lecturing us on the borders of OUR country.
No critical thinking, no common sense.
Wrong is right, right is wrong.
Boils down to plain old evil.
Pope Socialista the first.
