Italy – -(Ammoland.com)- Pope Francis spoke with a group of young people at a rally of thousands at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
Francis started by attacking the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as well as accusing the allies during World War Two of being complicit in the killing of Jews, Christians and homosexuals.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, saying.
“If you trust only men you have lost,” he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.
“It makes me think of … people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn’t it?” he said to applause.
He also criticized those who invest in weapons industries (gun owners), saying “duplicity is the currency of today … they say one thing and do another.”
Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.
He spoke of the “tragedy of the Shoah,” using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.
“The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?”
It is surely an upside down world when the representative of G* on earth disparages the right to self defense and accuses the Greatest Generation of being complicit in Hitler’s genocide and the destruction of Europe and Russia.
In my honest opinion, this pope is a liar and a fake. He professes to be the spokesperson for GOD on earth. That is, in my opinion, total and complete bullshit. The Kingdom of heaven is within you all. The Kingdom of heaven is all around us. ALWAYS. God neither needs nor requires a pedophile, surrounded by gold, jewels and money, in a house with fancy stained glass windows, dressed in fine garments to tell us about GOD. And neither do I. This pope does not speak for GOD. And he sure as hell does not speak for me.
Well then, so glad to be of Hebrew lineage. And really, why is anyone still listening to a word that any of these pedophiles are spewing out?
The present Pope must himself be guilty of supporting gun manufacturers. When obviously he has armed guards, with GUNS, so it is hypocritical of him to think that way. I have a problem with a lot of this Pope’s opinions. Like our legislators, who when one of theirs is shot, want to be able to carry concealed, but when we are attacked they call for taking guns away from us and leaving us helpless. When they can carry concealed we can, that is our RIGHT, not a privilege.
Our so called “Christian” religion has killed thousands over hundreds of years while spreading the word PEACE. Where is it? I have never read the Bible as it was not written neither by Jesus or God but from a bunch of believers that no one knows how it’s writings were interpreted from Jesus words. So many Bibles out there, so many interpretations that who can say which is the true one. I carry my life unsullied and I believe in Jesus and there has been no Pope like John Paul before him or after him. I saw him very close… Read more »
This commentary is by a very anti-Catholic author who has a huge influence in American protestant circles: Matthew Henry Commentary 22:21-38 How unbecoming is the worldly ambition of being the greatest, to the character of a follower of Jesus, who took upon him the form of a servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross! In the way to eternal happiness, we must expect to be assaulted and sifted by Satan. If he cannot destroy, he will try to disgrace or distress us. Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with… Read more »
Why do you believe in a god that promised to return soon and set the world right and “in one generation” and didn’t really come back and do anything. He doesn’t really heal. If he did insurance companies and hospitals would be out of business. How to you worship a god that commanded his people to take virgins as sex salves? “Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.”… Read more »
