ROME — Pope Francis warned Sunday democracy is in “crisis” around the world, likely with an eye to a rise in right-wing parties across Italy, Austria, Argentina, Netherlands, and Germany.

It is evident that in today’s world, democracy “is not in good health,” the pontiff told a group of 900 participants in the 50th annual Social Week, celebrated in the northern Italian city of Trieste.

The pope went on to compare the modern “crisis of democracy” to a wounded heart that has suffered a heart attack, manifested by “various forms of social exclusion” that “limit participation.”

Popes speak with authority about matters of faith and morals. Nothing else. Francis is having another bout of clericalism.

I am starting to think Pope Frankie was produced in some CIA lab.

[Williams]

This pope is a leftist disgrace.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Stay in your lane, Frank.

Did Kamala write this shallow drivel for him? Similar level of intellect designed to motivate the commie masses.

This pope is a leftist disgrace.“

He is. Notice “pope” poofter uses the language of the rats.

[Wuli]

Pope warns the elites who love him are endangered by democracy.

[caww]

The only crisis is within the Demoncratic Party .....

[mware]

Well those riots in France are not coming from the right.

[Williams]

Gee maybe he should let people vote the way they want.

The Lavender Mafia in the Vatican.

[rhinohunter]

If he’s grousing like this about these nothing-burger countries, can you imagine how distraught he will be if Trump wins?

[chickenlips]

That’s a given. He’s Jesuit. They have been the Vatican’s CIA since the order was created in 1540. Why do you think they were tossed out of over 70 countries at one time or the other?

[bert]

The Pope is an irrelevant pimple on the world’s ass

[xkaydet65]

Bergoglio should return to his old Latin studies. He praises democracy ) demos; Greek the People) while condemning Populism ( Populii :Latin the People). I guess it all depends on what he thinks the People should want.

A conservative president was elected in Pope Marxist’s home country, and Argentina is thriving as a result.

A duly elected president....and this moronic pope says this is not “democracy?”

NOT MY POPE
