Catholics and Christians commit crimes yes, but not in the name of Jesus. That is the difference and only a naïve fool would fail to understand that.
“Catholics and Christians commit crimes yes, but not in the name of Jesus. That is the difference and only a naïve fool would fail to understand that.”
It is a typical leftist talking point. Smear an ideology because of the actions of a few that act against the precepts.
Forgive an ideology the pushes violence.
This is Marxism, not Christianity.
From another thread:
“CAIR wants to have August declared as Muslim appreciation month for California (HR 59). Bill is going to be submitted 1 Aug 16 by Assemblyman Bill Quirk
Well here is. . .
Stats on Muslim attacks for 2016
Islamic Terror attacks 2016

If as Muslims claim that their religion is a religion of PEACE, then why not establish a HOTLINE for Muslims to report on terrorist activities within their communities !

Bingo! We have a winner.
LukeL:
Correct, when someone who is Catholic or Protestant Christian commits a crime, they are doing it do to greed, money, power, lust, anger, etc. which are all related to the deadly sins (cf. 1 John 2:16 “lust of the flesh”, “lust of the eyes” and “pride of life”, and 1 Corinthians 6: 7-9).
The Pope is correct when he says some baptized and professed Catholics and other Christians do fall away to sin, but he is correct in saying these crimes are done in the name of Christ. They are not.
Pope Francis just is not to bright and too much of a dreamy eyed progressive Jesuit. He is great with people at maybe a parish level, but as a Pope, he just does not have the intellectual depth of either John Paul II or Benedict XVI.
