From Vatican Insider:

Papa Francesco bacia i piedi ai leader del Sud Sudan: basta guerre
Il Pontefice in ginocchio davanti al presidente Salva Kiir e ai vicepresidenti designati del Paese africano che dovranno avviare a maggio un nuovo governo: «La pace è possibile, l’armistizio sia rispettato. La gente è esausta dai conflitti del passato»

Pope Francis kisses the feet of the leader of South Sudan: enough with wars
The Pontiff kneels before President Salva Kiir and the Vice Presidents designate of the African nation who ought to inaugurate a new government in May: «Peace is possible, the armistice must be respected. People are exahausted by the conflicts of the past.»

“I thought this had to be a joke. A bad one, but a joke.
If this really happened it is horrible.The pope should resign.”

Why doesn’t he kiss for koran too, or is that next? I know that Pope John Paul did, which I will never understand. But kissing their feet???? I had better stop where I am right now.

That from a lifelong Catholic, (maybe not much longer). despicable is too kind!

We mustn’t let him push us away from Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

We were born in this time for a reason.

We will be given the grace and strength to persevere.

Oh - and despicable is too kind.

:-)

Pope Francis by his continuing social engineering pontificating and attempts to equalize the mono theistic claims that Islam honors the same Judeo Christian deity. Is only encouraging the continuing attacks and murders of African and Asian Catholics as well as attacks elsewhere including Russia, France, even California and destruction of their churches. by Islamic followers.

This Pope by decrying the sale and use of arms which Christian’s could use to defend themselves or warn the faithful not to proselytize or be “fundamental” to discourage conversions.

Are then used by Islamists because they appear to support Islam’s mono theistic claims which is the way Islamists interpret the Pope’s remarks. Seemingly supported by Francis’s refusal to condemn or refute or challenge the claims that Islamist make they are following God’s command using deceit and deception when ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroy their edifice .Simply because of its assertion of being monotheistic when those theological Islamic claims our Creator authorized them to use murder, deceit and deceptions while committing these atrocities. Is leading to misguided conversions which is the result of my so called Pope playing games with this so called mono theistic cult and a serious fracture within Christianity and The Roman Rite becomes the unintended result..

Yet he ignores prie dieus reserved for him in front of the Blessed Sacrament.

“Pope Francis kisses the feet of the leader of South Sudan”

It’s been long suspected he has a foot fetish.

I was horrified, too, when I thought PF waa basically doing an act of preemptive dhimmitude.

Turns out that this Salva Kiir, whatever else he is, is a Catholic.

Who Is Salva Kiir? -- Euronews

"Salva Kiir may be best known for his cowboy hat and for his landslide victory in April 2010 as president of Southern Sudan. He may soon celebrate his country’s independence from the North. As the referendum process reaches its completion, Kiir’s confidence has hugely increased, say observers. A vote for secession by the Southern Sudanese from the North is said to be expected.

Kiir, born in 1951, has said in the past that “the upcoming referendum is a choice between being a second class in your own country, or a free person in your independent state.” The south’s population mostly follow Christianity or traditional religions, while the north has a Muslim majority. Kiir, 60, is a Catholic.

The article goes onto say:

"Salva Kiir is seen as modest and self-effacing, which appeals to many Southerners, especially those who resent the domination of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army by people from the Dinka ethnic group.

None of this justfies PF *NOT* kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament, which does make one wonder.

But at least he has not --- this time --- made himself an Instant Dhimmi.

The Pope is a Marxist, thus the destruction of my church is very logical in his Marxist ideology. He is not a man of God.

What is the MATTER with that man? I think this is too much to accept. I will join the faithful Catholics who believe he should resign.

Whether the new leader is Catholic or not, Pope Francis should not be kissing the feet of a POLITICIAN.
