Hey Catholic popes- where were you when obama was separating kids and ‘ripping them out of the arms of their parents’>? Didn’t hear a peep from you all when obama was president

......a Jesuit!

I also gratefully enjoy still my 8 years of Jesuit education.

But I choose to call the current clown in Rome a JINO...

Notice from the OFFICIAL VATICAN TRANSLATION TEAM Concerning so-called "Immigration"

It has come to our attention that we are being made the scapegoats of everything the Pope says, as if we are not doing our jobs. This is inaccurate. We are not charged with perfection in translation.

This may surprise many readers of this notice, but none of us on the Vatican Translation Team speak a second language at all! Really! Who knew, right?

I will explain our role here at Ground Zero...Vatican City or VC, as we call it.

First, a few short years ago, we were all homeless on the Streets of Argentina. Yes, this means that the translation office is a jobs program for homeless Argentinians. Through the kindness of the Great leaders at VC, 8 of us were recruited to a very fulfilling job with benefits. No more idle days of tango and wine. Today, we have fulfilling careers trying to make sense of what our Dear Papa says.

Many of us previously used Google Translate, so we had every qualification needed. Please note, our mission is to get the message out fast. You may have noticed our Great Pope speaks "off the cuff" quite frequently, or as we say here in VC, "between bites of pasta." And frankly, most of us on the team understand Our Great Pope is making up everything as he goes along, to make FRoman heads at FreeRepublic explode.

We assure you it is not easy to keep up and be at dinner on time!

For this reason, we are not charged with accuracy, but with speed. And frankly (no pun intended), we know Our Great Pope will say something contradictory tomorrow anyway, so there is that. We only need blinding speed for today. And between you and me, we are darned fast.

We don't like to miss meals. Done is done. Good enough, is good enough. Out the door and the door closed and locked in under 10 seconds! We're that good!

In this case, The GAP (Great and Amazing Pontif) said nothing about immigration. No!

He said "visitation." He was announcing his desire to visit children.

We blame The Evil Google for this mistranslation! Anathema to you Google!

We also blame the Evil Main Street Media for their bias in reporting this! Seven Fierce White Hot Anathemas upon you Evil Media!

We hope this clears up any misunderstanding of the GAP's actual message and get's us off the hook, so we can continue in this important role - and dinner!

Sincerely,
Luigi, Antonio, Giuseppe, Michael, Maria, Giovanna, Francesco, & Concetta

I have a feeling I may be more Roman Catholic than this pope.

You're supposed to fight, not desert.

That sounds too koranimal...
I choose to believe that I am very much a Catholic.
But also that Panchito isn't.
Deal with it.

It is interesting how the Lord still has another living Pope on the sidelines.

Benedict enjoys good health and I believe will outlive Francis. . .which makes perfect sense to me.

Nothing and NO ONE on earth would stop the Pope or the Catholic Church from going there and/or GIVING money and aid to those ‘immigrants’

With the boundless resources of the Catholic Church... they could charter planes to transport all of them to ITALY! :)

Lift them right out the situation! What the f*&^ is he whining about?

When he tears down the vatican wall and starts doling out that vatican wealth; then we can talk.

I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood you. When you said "I am (or was) a Catholic, I assumed that you meant you were no longer a Catholic.

Now you say you're "very much a Catholic"

I'm glad to hear that.

Now perhaps you will tell my why fighting for the Truths of the Catholic Faith sounds "koranimal."

It would be just the opposite. Seriously, Christianly Catholic,.

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you that pope socialista would have this opinion! The Catholic Church directly assists and condones illegal immigration for one reason only $$$$$$$$$$ The more Hispanics(who are still primarily Catholics) that get into America have more money(for free stolen out of the taxpayers pocket by liberals)to give to the church and pop out more little Catholics to add to the churches base.

And this is why my donations to the Catholic Church have ‘unexpectently’ decreased.

The asshole is not “pope” - he a sodomite-enabling, faith destroying, narcissistic, anti-Catholic fraud.

Benedict XVI is STILL the legitimate pope - not this effing ass clown, Bergoglio.
