ROME -- Pope Francis is supporting demands for racial justice in the wake of the U.S. police killing of George Floyd and is blasting COVID-19 skeptics and media organizations that spread their conspiracies in a new book penned during the Vatican’s coronavirus lockdown.

In “Let Us Dream,” Francis also criticizes populist politicians who whip up rallies in ways reminiscent of the 1930s, and the hypocrisy of “rigid” conservative Catholics who support them. But he also criticizes the forceful downing of historic statues during protests for racial equality this year as a misguided attempt to “purify the past.”

The 150-page book, due out Dec. 1, was ghost-written by Francis’ English-language biographer, Austen Ivereigh, and at times the prose and emphasis seems almost more Ivereigh’s than Francis.’ That's somewhat intentional — Ivereigh said Monday he hopes a more colloquial English-speaking pope will resonate with English-speaking readers and believers.

Nothing about pedophilia being really really bad go figure

Fentynl killed Floyd. Therefore, any demands for ‘racial justice’ should be directed at the point of origin of Fentynl - China - and towards the black youths that approached the Floyd vehicle moments before the cops arrived, to make what circumstantially appears to be a drug deal

The Poope is a hypocrite Ahole. What about voting for the Abortion/Rat party. Oh he’s fine with that. As long as the Catholic church gets money for illegals.

George Floyd died of a self induced drug overdose.

Liars like to tell you other wise but that is what the medical reports from his autopsy said.

Remember when “is the Pope Catholic?” was a joke, not a serious question?

So, the Pope condones deadly riots.
