Pope Francis: "If I Speak Of Islamic Violence, I Must Speak Of Catholic Violence"
Breitbart.com ^ | August 1,2016 | Thomas D. Williams, PH.D

Posted on 08/01/2016 6:13:44 AM PDT by Biggirl

In a press conference Sunday, Pope Francis appeared to suggest that all religions are equally prone to violence and that Islam and Christianity are the same in this regard. When asked by a journalist about the “barbarous assassination of Fr. Jacques Hamel” in northern France who was clearly “killed in the name of Islam” last Tuesday, the Pope replied that he doesn’t like speaking about Islamic violence because there is plenty of Christian violence as well.

STFU Francis!

These guys aren’t killing because of the Crusades (and BTW, one of my ancestors was hunted and murdered for allowing Calvinists to escape a sentence of death). These guys are killing because they like killing. It’s an absence of the indwelling Spirit thing.

Quit being a weenie, as you peer out from behind some of the best security in the world.

Back in Christ’s time, this pope would have been a Pharisee. He sure speaks like one.

Paul VI deliberately appointed lefty bishops. JPII was bored by the vetting of bishops, and signed whatever was put in front of him. Result: lots more lefty bishops. Benedict did a little better—but not much.

As a result, the Church is now firmly in the grip of non-believing bishops who are aligned with, or part of, the International Communist movement, nowadays known as the NWO, the hard left, which is aligned with Jihad. These non-believers have put one of their number in the papacy. He will say NOTHING that might wake people up, because he will say nothing that reflects reality.

He’s not Catholic, He’s a Jesuit. Previous popes were right to suppress the order.

The sad thing is that this one was elected. It’s hard to believe that the electors didn’t know what they were doing. Going forward that’s a scary thought.

To quote that great philosopher Geezer Butler:

"Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope?

Do you think he's a fool?"

This Pope is a dope. He's doing more to harm the Catholic church by driving people away and creating dissension with his insane remarks.

Hey Pope-a-dope: why don't you study up on the religion of peace by studying this website and then retract your ignorant remarks!

Benedict is a 1950’s liberal. Obviously, better than a deep-dyed RED like Bergoglio. Still, incapable of doing what needed to be done.

There needs to be a bloodbath in the Catholic Church. Hundreds, if not thousands, of bishops deposed.

Just one example: A new bishop is needed in San Francisco, one who will suspend the gay priests (about half the priests) and shut down, and TEAR DOWN, parishes that are utterly hopeless, like Most Holy Redeemer.

There isn’t a bishop alive who would look on this suggestion with anything but horror.

"If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence"

In the quiver of marxist propaganda/brainwashing techniques, moral equivalency is one of the most utilized and effective arrows.

“The Crusades were a defensive RESPONSE to 500+ years of Muslim provocation intended to attack the root of the problem and stop the Muslim invaders from messing with us.
And... THEY WORKED!
Yo Pope, it’s called SELF DEFENSE !”

WHERE IS THE CHRISTIAN VIOLENCE? This pope is a disgrace. I pray that new crusades are coming but they haven't started yet.

Angela Merkels Pope will be touting the progressive party line until he becomes a direct victim of those he now protects.

The inquisition was bad, but it wasn’t nearly the length or depth of wickedness of the religion of Obama’s father.
