Pope Francis may be a nice man, but he seems to be losing his grip on reality. No doubt riding around in the Popemobile, protected from dangers and surrounded by security he can make declarations that ignore the reality that Islam is at war with the world, particularly with Christians, Jews, and those who are not part of the “right” Muslim sect.
The world is a dangerous place, and it is true that violence exists from street gangs, domestic violence and thugs in every country.
However, none of these groups or individuals are blowing up stadiums and beheading individuals wholesale in the name of their religion. Pope Francis has become quite passionate about understanding and sympathizing with Islam, but he is not touched by the virulent, destructive nature of the religion or the evil perpetrators of Islamic jihad. He should get out more.
Pope Francis compares Islamic terrorism to domestic violence, page 2:
This man is NOT Catholic. He is from where Liberation Theology was born….that is his religion.
Quite true! I am not a Roman and would not even attempt to defend the heinous crimes committed by the Roman church. However, the religion of Christianity doesn’t teach or justify, murder, rape and mayhem, but the ideology of Mohammedans does!
How likely is it, we could mass immigrate to Iran and have the freedom to undermine their government? Get involved in local politics, our Islamic immigrants are and that’s how they plan to get rid of our Constitution. Real$#%&!@*happening now and has been happening. Get involved now!

Idiot
This Pope has about as many brains as God gave a crowbar..
Poor man doesn’t understand the difference between crime committed by a person and terrorism plotted by a caliphate for the islamafication of the world.
Sure a jerk!
There was an earthquake in Italy today. God is speaking directly to the Pope and I hope he is listening.
Political nonsense….He’s more a politician every day and less the Pope..

PHILLIPS For of this much you can be certain: that neither the immoral nor the dirty-minded nor the covetous man (which latter is, in effect, worshipping a false god) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Don’t let anyone fool you on this point, however plausible his argument. It is these very things which bring down the wrath of God upon the disobedient. Have nothing to do with men like that—once you were “darkness” but now you are “light”. Live then as children of the light. The light produces in men quite the opposite of sins like these—everything that is wholesome and good and true. Let your lives be living proofs of the things which please God. Steer clear of the activities of darkness; let your lives show by contrast how dreary and futile these things are. (You know the sort of things I mean—to detail their secret doings is really too shameful). For light is capable of “showing up” everything for what it really is. It is even possible (after all, it happened to you!) for light to turn the thing it shines upon into light also. Thus God speaks through the scriptures: “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”

Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!
