People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.

    He needs to be added to the list of those deposed.
    Interesting how the left embraces him when he supports their agenda otherwise they completely ignore the guy.

    This guy is developing a lot of back lash. The lady I see is very Catholic is criticizing his stepping into some areas she and other Catholics are not happy with.

    Anybody besides myself notice the Pope is normally ignored by the left and their partisan hacks in the media. That is until he promotes their ideology, then he is loved.

    BINGO!

    Also of notice is his opposition to abortion, sex changes and supports traditional marriage.
    Of course, the lame stream media doesn't make that a headline.

    PS: It's clear he is human and all humans have fallacies....like some opinions.
    [:D]


    The main stream media does not need him to carry the vote in those matters listed,they are all legal here in The USA!

    He Pope Francis is coming to the US Congress and The United Nations in September and The Gun control issue along with global warming is what he is going to push for!

    Get a clue! You don't call in the big guns until you need them to wipe out opposition in matters of NWO operations of the coming peace and sharing of resources for all people's not just the we the people of The USA.

    WASHINGTON (CNS) -- President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will welcome Pope Francis to the White House Sept. 23.

    "During the visit, the president and the pope will continue the dialogue, which they began during the president's visit to the Vatican in March 2014, on their shared values and commitments on a wide range of issues," said a statement released March 26 by the Office of the Press Secretary at the White House.

    Those issues, it said, include "caring for the marginalized and the poor; advancing economic opportunity for all; serving as good stewards of the environment; protecting religious minorities and promoting religious freedom around the world; and welcoming and integrating immigrants and refugees into our communities.

    UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United Nations is announcing that Pope Francis will address the annual U.N. General Assembly of world leaders on Sept. 25 during his first papal visit to the United States.

    They might as well issue them whistles 'cause they're not going to protect anyone with those toy swords. They might 'cause an attacker to laugh himself to death is the closest these clowns will ever get to apprehending a criminal.

    When churches become political they should loose their tax exempt status in the U.S.

    Dollars to donuts, that would cut down on this Pope's political pronouncements.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    The separation of religion (The Temple) and the Government (The Palace) is an illusion of Humanism that set out to disprove the existence of G_d. Just like science and mathematics they are bound together for all of eternity.

    Trans-humanism is just another step into confusion of thinking they are a coming a g_d head of Lucifer and pretends to be like the most high with science. One can only manifest what they think they are without ever knowing it's essence.Iam that Iam.

    The current pope was a leftist priest from a South American country where Marxist thought is de rigueur, and has been for a century. Nothing he says ought to be surprising to anyone.

    Far more than any sort of threat to our freedom, the latest encyclical, and more importantly, the reaction of the left to it ought to make for great ammunition for our side.

    The press has fixated on Pope Frank's writings about guns and Global Warming Weather Cooling Catastrophic Hope and Change.

    Rather than fight uphill battles on that topic, how about point out the blatant hypocrisy he shows when he tries to claim that population growth isn't the problem, it is 'consumerism'. Well, gee....that kinda lets the Catholic Church and its Go Forth and Breed Like Bunnies doctrine off the hook, doesn't it? How convenient. To say nothing of how that section collides head on with the Holy Grail of the Left: Abortion Whenever You feel Like It. Does the left also acknowledge the pope's wisdom on that front, or is this one of those places where 'people of good will can disagree'?

    And given current events, couldn't we have some fun with his statement that gender differences matter, and "valuing one's own body in its femininity or masculinity is necessary if I am going to be able to recognize myself in an encounter with someone who is different." Again, does the media and the left it serves agree with the pope here, or have we discovered more selective cherry picking of moral authority?

    I had great fun this weekend talking about the pope's leftist BS with a friend's leftist twit wife, and had an entire BBQ gathering laughing when she got PO'd and told me that my problem was that I was always "thinking too much" about issues.

    I think I really ticked her off when I said I had to, because I am not very pretty and couldn't go through life using my boobs for my best argument.

    Pardon me but the Pope is a Dope.

    "Weapons" are used for fighting and harming people.

    Very very few of my guns have been used as weapons. The majority are just firearms used for recreational shooting or hunting.

    He is very misguided. Most guns sold in the US are used for recreation, protection, competition and hunting. The ones used for protection are the only ones that can be accurately called weapons.

    Even though any gun "can" be a weapon, the vast majority are not.

    The swiss guard has a pretty nice modern arsenal . I think they should sell it and use the $ to help the poor.

    Nice racket - sell everlasting life. No one comes back to complain.

    I was raised catholic, but have long ago been made aware of the scam.

    ISIS has killed many more Christians then some lone wolf white supremacist. I don't see anyone solving that one anytime soon either!

    The Pope wants gun control just like Obama,bet on it! They (Elitist)in The United Nations want to control all weapons so you can be their vassal or property and protect you like a sheep. BAAAAAaaa!

    The American Indian say it best! US government make treaty on paper than do what they want later when Indian in Reservation.

    Not quite! The Pope has 1.2 Billion followers and was/is A Jesuit Priest which is the most influential in The Conclave of being the only true Vicar! So they say. He has followers in almost 90% of all other countries!

    He is soon to address Congress and The United Nations in September too! This could be the beginning something very big in uniting a NWO.

    The Swiss Guard? It's not what you see, it's what you don't. Don't mess with those boys.

    The Pope? Perhaps he might better serve this world by leading the Catholic Church rather than leading the Vatican State. One of the primary teachings of his supposed boss is that a man can't serve two masters. I propose that Francis hasn't quite learned this lesson.
