This Pope is an endless fountain of conventional, exploded, cowardly, P.C. platitudes. He is a disgrace and humiliation for every Catholic.

Pope Urban II (1088-1099) figured out how to deal with these idiots.

The titular head of the Catholic Church is a moron. Period.

..... Pope an endless fountain of conventional, exploded, cowardly, P.C. platitudes. .....

O, I don't know Art. He is ROMAN Catholic, you know? Perhaps he means to give that delicious pannino they sell on the streets of Rome made with the barbecued and herb stuffed whole pig, La Porchetta,to every jihadi.

Actually the theology behind the suggestion is quite sound. Many people can get really nasty when they are hungry. But, if a jihadi is snacking on delicious pannino di porchetta, he obviously cannot be beheading, crucifying, raping, or torturing a Christian at the same time. Pope Frankie's Logic here is quite the equal of that of St. Thomas Aquinas. I say let's give it the olde church try!

“What is required is a concerted commitment on the part of all … [to] enable resources to be directed, not to weaponry, but to the other noble battles worthy of man: the fight against hunger and sickness.”

-Pope Francis-

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

-Joni Mitchell-

You could do more to stop Islamic terrorists by banning Muslims from medical school. A surprising number seem to be doctors.

That’s the same view as promoted by the State Department, CIA, thousands of NGO’s (e.g. open society, etc.), the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, etc.

Just sayin’.

Oh, and the name-brand Protestant denominations (the largest) as well. Well, actually, it’s the view of most organizations in general.

Of course, many “sheeple” fall for the canard that poverty CAUSES violence and theft.

Probably the majority of sheeple, however, will admit, at least in private, that the idea is nonsense, since, well, duh, there are many people who are dirt poor and they don’t steal or commit acts of violence. And many people who do steal and commit acts of violence are not poor.

Sadly, many leaders won’t admit these simple truths.

They’d have to acknowledge the fallen state of man.

They think that admission is not good for marketing and fundraising.

It actually convicts the listener of their own sin and need for Christ’s atoning sacrifice.

That’ll work. Osama was just a poor man scratching for his two meals a day.

This is what I found between quotation marks:
“grave persecutions”

“terrorist violence”

“It is licit, while always respecting international law, to stop an unjust aggressor,”

“What is required is a concerted commitment on the part of all … [to] enable resources to be directed, not to weaponry, but to the other noble battles worthy of man: the fight against hunger and sickness.”…

“It is essential that all citizens – Muslim, Jewish and Christian – both in the provision and practice of the law, enjoy the same rights and respect the same duties,”

“Interfaith dialogue” with a false, diabolical religion. Oh what Vatican II hath wrought. Until a pope comes along to fix the disaster that is Vatican II, we will continue to see these pathetic attempts to dialogue with the Devil.

If nothing else, the Pope’s methodology would serve to help carry the message of Christianity. Doomed to fail on large scale but may possibly reach a few and save some souls. What else would one have him do - call for the extermination of some of God’s children (wayward for sure, but still God’s kids)?

I’m starting to think Pope Francis is Catholic the way Barack Obama is American.
