People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry at a rally of thousands of young people at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
"If you trust only men you have lost," he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.
"It makes me think of ... people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn't it?" he said to applause.
He also criticised those who invest in weapons industries, saying "duplicity is the currency of today ... they say one thing and do another."
Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.
He spoke of the "tragedy of the Shoah," using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.
"The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn't they bomb (the railway lines)?"
Discussing World War One, he spoke of "the great tragedy of Armenia" but did not use the word "genocide".
Pope Francis needs to read Mathew Chapter 10: 34
ReplyDeleteThe kiddy diddling Catholic faggot Francis should get a real job! Auschwitz was not a death camp it was a forced labour camp, first time the Jews did manual labour! The real tragedy is there was no Shoah!
ReplyDeleteSimple: You shall not kill. Means American can't be Christians at all.
ReplyDeleteThe had children and old people in Auschwitz - those needed to be exterminated at once. The Nazis could have spared the World from the current tragedy by exterminating all Jewish minded rats. Jews don't exist anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf you try to cut to the heart of American hypocrisy - it's like an onion.
ReplyDeleteBut child molesters at the pulpit are true Christian?
ReplyDeleteDon't blame the sheep for going to the slaughter house.
ReplyDeleteIt's simple, you adhere to the principals of Christ or you dont.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute bloody nonsense ! Ann Frank survived and wrote her bull shit diary and she was only 13 in 1945 when she died of typhus like most of the inmates! The Shoah is the second biggest lie of all time the biggest lie of all time is there is a God!
ReplyDeleteJct: Armorers and warriors aren't whom Jesus attacked. It was the moneylenders. How about taking usury ain't Christian! Oh right, pope and his church take usury. Shame on the infallible joke.
ReplyDeletePope Francis tells truth. He explains his view in a Christian context. To profess this belief forms a preference for love and giving. To engage in war, provide the weaponry, grows hate, and the urge for conquest. Embracing war/weaponry implies love and giving reside somewhere within these acts, and shows duplicity at its most vehement. All humans live with failings and triumphs; priests, politicians, workers, owners. So take hold of your frustrations, look for solutions, and be the best person you can be. Pope Francis shows himself a hero of love, with faith his guide. I respect that and consider him my hero.
ReplyDeleteI'm ecstatic not to call myself Christian. Anyone still wondering why the previous kiddy buggering pope stepped aside for this NWO POS?
ReplyDeletePope Francis is a hypocrite if he thinks that. because that means he doesn't read his own bible.
ReplyDeletePFFFT!

ReplyDeleteEveryone should listen to this
Nope. I'm not surprised, and haven't been since I opened my eyes to the vast difference that there is between having spiritual knowledge (gnosis) vs. blind faith (religion) as a young adult.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I think organized modern "religion" is actually what JC was warning everyone against in the years of his ministry here on earth.
Men are fallible. The Pope is a man.
ReplyDeleteLeader of the little boy buggering priests who worships Satan and Lucifer stand down and release your wealth to the masses, and release the papal library so that we may know the truth about humanitys past. Then go elsewhere to torture and push your evil!
ReplyDeleteHe also said not to wear condoms in AIDS ravaged Africa.
ReplyDeleteThe Americans aren't the sheep, they are the butchers. Read the comment.
ReplyDeleteAmerican Government stopped serving we the sheeple long ago. They do not represent us or our morals, so don't be confused. There is a difference.
ReplyDeletePray your Rosary every day, wear the Brown Scapular, find a traditional church that still offers a Mass pleasing to God, the Mass of the Saints, and prepare for the prelude to WWIII and apocalyptic events that "not a soul will not be terrified" to see or experience, God's wrath.
ReplyDeleteSaint Catherine of Sienna, was told by Our Lord that the sin of sodomy, homosexuality, is so detestable that even the devils, who tempt the soul into its commission, leaves the room in disgust and horror, of such a sin that even attacks and horrifies their own remaining angelic character. Five city kingdoms were destroyed for this sin, whole civilizations collapse when they became contaminated by this filthy and disgusting sin, and this Pope assigns and elevates Bishops who have been accused or have a reputation of either protecting or participating in this detestable sin. And he says - whom am I to judge - what insanity - what revolt against the Law of God, from our new Marxist Pope.
The majority of Americas armed forces are joining in order to reduce or eliminated charges of crimes committed and foreign fighters who will receive citizenship for service. The people cheering them on are MSM, not we the people.
ReplyDeleteThey're hypocrites? Does calling Christians hypocrites even work? Do Christians actually consider being called a hypocrite an insult? Because I wouldn't guess that based on how most of them act.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever watch American Football or Baseball?
ReplyDeleteDo you go to Starbucks?
How much is paid to "honor the soldiers"?
The vast majority of "We the People" buy into Fox News.
I'll pray for your peace of soul in light of the coming disclosure, easing into the love of all God's creation; consciously or otherwise, emanating out of papal guidance, infallible even now. I also revere Pius X, and the saints who professed their love of every being. The HMC changes with the times, but the HG is always in its heart.
