Pope Francis Slams ‘Populism and Conspiracy Theories’ in Lisbon Address

ROME — Pope Francis began his four-day visit to Portugal for World Youth Day by blasting capitalism, populism, and insufficient attention to migrants and climate change.

“At a time when we are witnessing in many places a climate of protest and unrest, fertile terrain for populism and conspiracy theories, World Youth Day represents a chance to build together,” the pontiff told civil authorities and diplomats gathered in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.

Lamenting a lack of greater global cohesiveness, the pope cautioned that “planetary injustices, wars, climate and migration crises seem to run faster than the ability, and often the willingness, to face these challenges together.”

“According to classical mythology, the ocean is a child of the sky (Uranus); its vastness leads mortals to look up and rise to infinity,” Francis said. “But, at the same time, the ocean is the son of the earth (Gea) that embraces, thus inviting to envelop the entire inhabited world with tenderness.”

What is the opposite of populism? I don’t think it’s good.

[AAABEST]

Maybe Frank can just go die already.

[dadgum]

Anti-Pope Francis is an evil man.

Rope
Neck
Millstone
Abyss

Would be the punishment for an average person who distorted the Gospel and led people astray.

FRANCIS, however, is going to be held to a MUCH higher standard of accountability.

Repent, Francis.

[Peter ODonnell]

Ironic he would say this in Portugal, Fatima strikes me as a conspiracy theory of Catholic populists.

[Trump_Triumphant]

The communist Dope Francis strikes again.

[BrexitBen]

The commie Pope has spoken.

[cowboyusa]

From Reagan and John Paul 2 to this.

[allendale]

When he stops taking donations from capitalists, will take him seriously.

[Maris Crane]

Frank, go home to ARgentina.

CATHOLICS AS I SEE THEM;
NO ONE LIKES YOU
NO ONE RESPECTS YOU
NO ONE WILL FOLLOW YOU

YOU ARE A HERETIC AND THE SOONER YOU GET THE HE11 OUT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THE BETTER.

I have tried to be sensible with asking you to leave OUR CHURCH and start your own idiotic, disgusting, immoral church and LEAVE CATHOLICS ALONE...GO AWAY!!!!!!

[MNDude]

Conspiracy theories like there are some well connected people that Luke to diddle little kids?

Yeah...what a ridiculous thing to ever suggest

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What is the opposite of populism?

Tyranny.

Populism is the will and good of most of the people.

[Tennessee Nana]

Has this guy ever quoted the Bible ???

My soul hates this kind of claptrap. I love the way Scrioture speaks about creation, like in Psalm 19.

[Red6]

The pope who jumps on the homo bandwagon, the climate change band wagon, the socialist band wagon, talks about the dangers of a populist message?

That’s what you call irony.

[Red6]

Hahaha

[rollo tomasi]

Anything that goes against the Bolshevik/Marxist/Leninist narrative in all facets of today’s society are “conspiracy theories”.

[GrumpyOldGuy]

ANTI Pope POS evil.
