UNITED NATIONS: Pope Francis on Friday threw his support behind Iran's accord with major powers as he backed a goal of global abolition of nuclear weapons.
The Iran agreement "is proof of the potential of political goodwill, exercised with sincerity, patience and constancy," Francis said in an address to the United Nations.
"I express my hope that this agreement will be lasting and efficacious, and bring forth the desired fruits with the cooperation of all the parties involved," he said.
Francis made his remarks a day after a friendly welcome at the U.S. Congress, where many Republican lawmakers have vehemently criticized President Barack Obama for negotiating with Iran, an enemy of the United States and Israel since its 1979 Islamic revolution.
In his U.N. address, Francis also appealed anew for the protection of Christians and other people persecuted by extremists in Syria and Iraq.
PRICELESS
Thank you!
there is no place in Scripture that says one should trust a verified liar; i.e. Iran
The imams will not have to waste a bomb on the Vatican. The crowd of weak appeasers there will gladly pay the tax to Islam.
He seems to be more of a puppet for George Soros.
I think it s time to only refer to the Iran deal as the “Final Solution Deal”
Impeach da pope!
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
“Proof”? HOW?! Does the pope not know who and what the Iranians are BY THEIR OWN PROFESSING? Has he heard any particulars of the deal itself WHICH GIVES AWAY THE STORE TO THE IRANIANS? HOW, FRANCIS, DOES THE DAMN “GOOD” IN THE DEAL WORK!!!!????
Trump needs to turn the UN Building into Trump Tower East River.
There are times when you must not allow offense to prevent the truth:
This pope is either deficient or evil.
How can you make a plea for American disarmament, and then advocate for the covert nuclear arming of Iran?
The UN must go. Great point.
Proving - yet again - that he’s a clueless imbecile.
May I point him to what happened the last time slavering murderous hordes sacked Rome?
“The fact that he was voted in as Pope is the more interesting anomaly”.
Yes it is. And what is the real reason Benedict resigned?
Something is very wrong with this.
All I know about it is that some have written and said publically that the Vatican has been taken over by what we would call a leftist ideology.
If you recall, there was a huge banking scandal at the time, but I am puzzled as to why the Cardinals would install a Jesuit liberal from Argentina with obvious issues with the US and capitalism as a direct result of his upbringing and order.
Was this a knee jerk reaction to the sex scandals??? A payback or guilt trip?
Possibly......But it must be more complex then that.
Looks like he is vying for a spot in the democratic primary for president, doesn’t it?
