The Pope spoke to reporters on the flight back to Rome from Kraków
Speaking to journalists aboard his return flight from Kraków, Poland, on Sunday, Pope Francis said that violence exists in all religions, including Catholicism, and it cannot be pinned to one single religion.
“I do not like to speak of Islamic violence because everyday when I look through the papers, I see violence here in Italy,” the Pope told reporters.
“And they are baptised Catholics. There are violent Catholics. If I speak of Islamic violence, I also have to speak of Catholic violence,” he added.
Spending about 30 minutes with reporters and responding to six questions, Pope Francis was asked to elaborate on comments he had made flying to Poland on July 27 when he told the journalists that religions are not at war and want peace.
The Pope’s initial comment came in speaking about the murder July 26 of an elderly priest during Mass in a Catholic church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, France. Two men, armed with knives, entered the church during Mass. The attackers murdered 84-year-old Father Jacques Hamel, slitting his throat. ISIS later claimed responsibility for the murder.
Although the death of the French priest was committed in the name of Islam, the Pope said that it is unfair to label an entire religion violent because of the actions of a few fundamentalists.
One thing is true. I believe that in almost all religions, there is always a small fundamentalist group. We have them, too,” the Pope said. “When fundamentalism goes to the point of killing — you can even kill with the tongue. This is what St James says, but (you can kill) also with a knife. ”
He added: “I do not think it is right to identify Islam with violence. This is not right and.......

He is one of the leaders who pull humans into the abyss of the "strong delusion."
This baptist really misses y’alls previous Pope.
Time to fire up the white smoke chimney.
I second that!
I’m just glad someone finally pointed out all the violent Italian Catholics who dedicate and attribute their violence to their faith and Church. They deserve to be taken down a peg, for sure. Hope Swiss Guard has a handle on the situation.

He’s right not to equate islam with violence.
Islam IS violence.
I hope every day he talks about violent Catholics because we sure don’t get much news about them
islamist or islamist facilitator?
AFAIC, the Pope is an enemy agent.
Bears still poop in the woods so we've got that goin' for us.
Francis, we’re all out of corn flakes.
So Ridiculous, His Soul is in Danger and all those souls that he leads to destruction will be upon his shoulders. I Pray he will correct himself and Save Souls!
Pray for him.
God Bless
islam is EVIL!
OK, Frankie; Is it OK if we just do the opposite and equate violence with Islam?
I once saw an irate Catholic of Italian ancestry throw a plate of spaghetti against the wall. I barely escaped with only minimal staining. Four unlucky diners were heavily splattered with gravy.

Tell Pope Francis he doesn’t need to drink the entire chalice of wine when offering communion.
The pope denies the history of islam, and the inspiration of those popes who fought back..
And even if they did, are they able to support murders from Scripture?
The answer is no.
That is not the case for Islam. The people we call terrorists are Muslims following the Satan-inspired Koran.
I equate Islam with Jihad. A veritable pillar it is.
And it’s absolutely deceptive to say there’s no relation between the two.
Can Catholics do a Recall on this Fake Pope ?
Dope Francis Strikes Again.
I am not Catholic. Never have been. However, I always had a level of respect for the Catholic church because they held the line for their beliefs. This Pope has changed that opinion along with the Catholic churches waffling over abortion loving Catholic politicians. The amount of votes they give to the abortionists always disturbed me as much as Jewish support for the rats did, but there were some lines they would not cross. Under the leadership and direction of this progressive globalist they are going to destroy their church.
