In his homily during Pentecost Mass in St. Peter’s Square, Francis also said that “the more we use social media, the less social we are becoming”.
He warned of the temptation to cling to “our little group, to the things and people we like,” saying it was only a “small step from a nest to a sect, even within the church”.

Even blind squirrels sometimes find nuts.
If Christendom concentrated more on living the life of Christ and less on complaining about what’s wrong with their brethren, it would get on a great deal better.

He isn’t the one to whom we should be looking for credibility. Jesus is the one.

"an end to all forms of nationalism"
Does that include Israel? Because God might have a problem with that statement...

Sez the fake pope that’s attacked, fired or defrocked anyone who’s opposed him,

I'm surprised this pope guy hasn't been whacked. It seems to me that a lot of the Italian mafia would be willing to do it for free.

“...an end to all forms of nationalism and ethnocentrism.”
This can only be found IN CHRIST, where God created “one new man out of the two” (Jew and Gentile).
Any offer of this outside of Christ is counterfeit.

In other words, a One World Government, in which money is siphoned from those who earn it and given to those who diddle around and do nothing for it.

Genesis 12:2: "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing."
God is being nationalistic. Care to take a swipe at that, pontiff?
