Pope meets 'angel of peace' Abbas ahead of landmark accord recognising Palestine
The Express Tribune ^ | May 16, 2015 | AFP

Posted on 05/16/2015 8:39:39 AM PDT by Wiz-Nerd

Pope Francis met Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Saturday, calling him “an angel of peace,” days after the Vatican said it was preparing to sign its first accord with Palestine to the anger of Israel.

Abbas met the pontiff for about 20 minutes for a private audience, a meeting that comes a day before the pope is due to canonise two Palestinian nuns, who will become the first Palestinian Arabs to gain sainthood.

If I was a Catholic, I’d be getting pretty damn tired of this guy representing me.

Notice how there are a lot fewer claims that the Pope is misrepresented/misunderstood?

Every now and then we who are Catholics need some punishment for our sins: John XXIII, Paul VI and now Francis each come immediately to mind.

The good news? He is 78 years old and admits that his health will not allow him a lengthy papacy. The next conclave won't repeat this mistake.

The only people, this pope has problems with is devout Catholics. He can even cozy up to terrorists.

Benedict needs to retake the office of Pope. I think Benedict stepped down because he was being blackmailed. Whatever reason he had for stepping down could not be worse than what Francis is doing to the Church.

Francis blesses Muslim terrorists with one hand while with the other strike a dagger at the heart of Israel.

Pope Francis, before going to the Middle East , called himself the Che Guevara of the Palestine people, a flabbergasting affirmation to identify with and to use El Che as model and inspiration, a mass murderer and genocide of the Cuban people. As said A. Vargas Llosa, “Che was a son of civilization who chose to become a savage.”

Obama and Francis are in a competition to see who reach their goal first – Obama to complete the destruction of U.S. or Francis to destroy the Church.

Right in line with bible prophecy...But calling a known terrorist an angel of peace makes you want to puke a little bit...

At some point in time, some Catholics are going to have to acknowledge that their religion is the religion of the anti-Christ...They’ve been duped for all these Centuries but now that religion is laying it right out on the table...

Seems you guys would wonder why your nuns wear muzlim burkas...

Turning against Israel will certainly invoke the wrath of God on that religion...

I’m not a Catholic, so have not followed this as closely as I could have, but, is there a good explanation as to why “the rottweiler” Pope stepped down and this seemingly liberation-theology-believing guy was put in as Pope?

I would suspect that like the American political fiasco, when one party can't accomplish what needs to be done, another gets in...

For example: Daddy Bush was the one behind Nafta...There's no way Bush could have sold Nafta to the Democrat leaders nor the unions...And although Clinton was against Nafta, he got in and strong-armed the Democrat representatives in congress to go for Nafta...

We needed Bush for the wars in the Mid-East but there's no way a Republican would have tried to push thru the agenda which Obama is steam rolling in...They work closely together as we can see by the votes in Congress...

I suspect the same thing happened with their popes...There's no way pope Benny could have pulled this stuff off...They needed someone new to for their agenda to 'bloom'...

"Turning against Israel will certainly invoke the wrath of God on that religion..."

That thought crossed my mind and I wondered if the wrath would be against the church social institution or on the man himself.

It is very sad how he is using the Church for his own agenda.

Francis first miracle, the conversion of Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the terrorist PLO, from an “angel od death” into an “angel of peace”. With one hand Francis was blessing the Islamic terrorists and with the other hand he strikes a dagger at the heart of Israel.

Pope Francis, before going to the Middle East, called himself the Che Guevara of the Palestine people, a flabbergasting affirmation to identify with and to use El Che as model and inspiration, a mass murderer and genocide of the Cuban people. While Muslims keep mass murdering Christians, Francis allied himself with the terrorists of the PLO and Hamas recognizing a no existent Palestine State.

“Pope Francis, before going to the Middle East, called himself the Che Guevara of the Palestine people, “

I can’t find that the pope said that. What I found was:


Rabbi Sergio Bergman, a member of the Argentinian parliament and close friend of Pope Francis…said that the pope intends to define himself as the ‘Che Guevera of the Palestinians’ and support their ‘struggle and rights’ during his visit.”

As the article stated, the decision to accept 'Palestine' as a state was made a couple of years ago...This can't be an isolated decision for this pope...It had to have been in the works with a lot of support for it for some time...

This is the first thing that came to my mind.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.~1 Corinthians 11:13-14

Pope Francis never denied the truthfulness of the comment by his close friend. Facts proof Francis attraction for murderous tyrants as the case of brotherly embrace and absolution of the crimes committed before, present and future by the genocide of the Cuban people. To call “angel of peace” to the leader of terrorist organizations is a degradation and an offense to all the real angels.

Shalom! Here is the Full Version of Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s speech. Jonathan Cahn speaks at the United Nation’s Economic Social Chamber about global Christian persecution on 4.17.15 We ask that you please continue to pray for the persecuted church and share this speech with others as it’s important to see how this persecution is increasing and we as the body of God want to be aware and pray for God’s leading and protection. God bless!
