The current pope is a joke

Stop trying to apologize for this nut.

Genghis Khan had ultimately some interesting effects. He created a huge free trade area in the zone of conquest and increasing prosperity for the conquered populations thereby. His methods of warfare were not much different from warfare as it was known for millennia though on a much larger scale. The ultimately worst effects may have been the Islamization of the Tatars in the middle east and points east of there. The extermination of populations in cities that did not surrender without a fight had been SOP for millennia. Surrender and no massacre and maybe no looting. Make us fight for your city and lose a lot of men and treasure taking it and everything is ours and everyone is killed.

What? Even Horseface bashed "Genjis" Khan back during the Viet Nam war for his atrocities. Said American GIs were no better than he was.

That's a heckuva smear, coming from him. Smear of Ghengis, that is.

Nah, I’ll leave it up to you to, as Maris said, “blame “Christendom as a whole” so hate on and bash away if you must Rattlesnake, as we’re used to it.

This world is far better because of Christianity.

Historians say that something like 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 people on the planet today are decendents of khan because he raped so many women and girls.

That sounds “unifying”, doesn’t it?

Thank you so very much for agreeing with the truth.

But, we are STILL a stubborn bunch, and yet peaceful and loving.

Regards

Ol’ Genghis and his son had to break a few eggs to create Pax Mongolia, eh?

Soon enough we will rid of him.

Maybe...but you are stuck with his appointees and a now warped hierarchy.

What do you think the chances are that a conservative cardinal can be elected?

I believe, in time, things will change.

It’s my hope that it will be soon.

Genghis Khan is a big hero in Mongolia.

Played in the movies by the guy who played a lot of All-Amrican heroes.

Radioactive sands on set were said to have caused Wayne's and Hayward's deaths.

It appears almost everyone else in this thread does not know this

We did a version of the same sort of thing in WWII i.e. firebombing and nuking and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians because Hitler and Hirohito would not surrender.

I can see with my own eyes what he’s doing, and hear what he’s saying. Do you have alternate facts that I haven’t heard about? Did the Pachymama(or whatever) not happen? Does he not promote pro aborts and sodomy enthusiasts to high places in both the hierarchy and in Vatican institutions? Does he not promote liberalism and rant against Traditional and Conservative Catholics know while also saying things about the USofA?(not the bad stuff).

He needs to be removed or resign.
