Vatican Reacts to Trump’s ‘Rocket Man’ Speech, No Place for ‘Military Superiority,’ ‘Unilateralism’
Breitbart ^ | 9/21/17 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 09/23/2017 6:11:52 PM PDT by marshmallow

In a strongly worded address before the United Nations Wednesday, a Vatican spokesman denounced President Trump’s threats against North Korea as “deplorable.”

Speaking in New York at the 10th Conference for the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, Archbishop Paul R. Gallagher, the Vatican’s Secretary for Relations with States, noted that the rising tensions over North Korea’s growing nuclear program “are of special urgency,” while sharply criticizing President Trump’s handling of the situation.

“The international community must respond by seeking to revive negotiations,” Gallagher said. “The threat or use of military force have no place in countering proliferation, and the threat or use of nuclear weapons in countering nuclear proliferation are deplorable.”

The Archbishop went on to say that building up a strong military—one or Mr. Trump’s stated priorities—is counterproductive and hearkens back to a Cold War mentality.

“We must put behind us the nuclear threats, fear, military superiority, ideology, and unilateralism that drive proliferation and modernization efforts and are so reminiscent of the logic of the Cold War,” Gallagher said, in evident reference to the American President.

That’s a despicable statement from the Vatican.

We Americans have long known that they were like that. The first settlers came to get away from them and their Euro-tyranny.

"We must put behind us the...military superiority..."

No chance, fascist boy.

This Pope talks a lot, but unlike n his predecessors he doesn’t say very much.

In a dangerous world there is no place for this idiot. The Clergy can either be idiots like Francis or patriots like the black robe battalion during the American Revokution, whom fought on the right side of freedom.

ROTFLOL....Hard to believe they haven't put a muzzle on him yet....

However some are standing up to him as more than 60 Roman Catholic theologians, priests and academics have 'formally' accused Pope Francis of spreading heresy after the he opened the door last year to allowing divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive Communion. 62 signatories issued a "filial correction" to the pope — a measure they said hadn't been employed since the 14th century. The letter accused Francis of propagating seven heretical positions concerning marriage, moral life and the sacraments with his 2016 document "The Joy of Love" and subsequent "acts, words and omissions. The initiative follows another formal act by four tradition-minded cardinals who wrote Francis last year asking him to clarify a series of questions, or "dubbia," they had about his 2016 text.....Francis hasn't responded to either initiative.

I’ve been done with the Catholic Church for quite some time. They can go screw. Raised a Catholic and educated in Catholic schools, the Catholic Church is another in the long list of frauds.

That is exactly backwards. A free people surrounded by evil has no room for military inferiority. We know what that leads to.

"All we are saaaaayyyyyingggg, is 'Give peace a chance!'"

The Fake Pope isn't big on scripture, I guess.

"If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men." - Romans 12:18
