Pope Francis is just another liberal political pundit
NY Post ^ | 25 September | John Podhoretz

Posted on 09/26/2015 8:08:16 AM PDT by oh8eleven

Pope Francis is unquestionably a man of ­uncommon personal grace, the possessor of a genuinely beautiful soul.

But that’s not exactly the guy who showed up Friday at the United Nations. That pope endorsed the Iran deal, the UN’s environmentalist goals and what amounts to a worldwide open-borders policy on refugees — and ­offered a very specific view of how to promote development in the Third World that’s straight out of a left-wing textbook.

And the media just makes him some kind of saint.

Apparently if you hug a kid....like a good politician....you're destined for heaven.....even if you're a communist.

The Post is wrong. The Pope is a marxist and completely blind to reality.

Looks like the head of the Catholic Church has taken to politics. Wow! Imagine a liberal Pope. That will cause the end of time for the earth. The world will be conquered by Muslims. Beheading every second. They love to kill.

Wow.

The DemocRATS booed G-d at their convention and two-thirds of the mob wanted to throw him out. They booed when the party overruled them. Yet, this "pope" is one of the 'RATS' celebrity "Rock Stars". Religion sure is getting weird.

The communist party in the old Soviet Union schools used to tell the kids to close their eyes and pray to G-d for lunch. See? That doesn't work! Now ask the members of the communist party for lunch. Voilà!!!

That method appears to have taken hold here in our "refugee camp" (formerly the United States of America) with the huge influx of freeloading, illegal alien foreigners.

One of the ten commandments from GOD states “Thou shalt not have other gods before me.” It sure seems like there is worship for the pope going on here!

A succinct and fantastic article.

I find it fascinating how the normally atheistic left, hostile to all forms of faith, is suddenly gushing orgasmically all over this pope because he embraces man made climate change and other sacred cows.

Personally, I’m poped out now.

And I’m sure Fiat sales will also go back down to normal once he returns to the Vatican.

He is dropping context and spouting libtard slogans that sound good. to irrational emotionalists. But one has to specify the context for a generalization to be true.

Doesn’t beheading figure in as part of the Book of Revelation ?

They love this pope because they instinctively recognise one of their own. He’s just Nancy Pelosi’s kind of guy.

I don’t care how anyone tries to spin it, that statement is blasphemous. Jesus is God, and God never fails at anything. Man fails, but not God.

What he said was clear, his “human life” failed.

You’d have to be an idiot to misstate his meaning.
