Pope Francis I has strongly condemned the actions of the ultra-traditionalist Catholic splinter during a Kristallnacht memorial service, saying that “aggression cannot be an act of faith.”

During a special memorial ceremony on Nov. 12 attended by Catholic, Jєωιѕн, and Protestant leaders in Buenos Aires to mark the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, a small group of protestors from the ultra-traditionalist Catholic group Society of St. Pius X disrupted the proceedings, shouting “followers of false gods must be kept out of the sacred temple.”

Pope Francis told a group of Latin American religious leaders visiting the Vatican that preaching intolerance “is a form of militancy that must be overcome.”

Claudio Epelman, executive director of Latin American Jєωιѕн Congress, praised Pope Francis’s comments.

“With this meeting, the Pope has once again shown his strong, personal commitment to building bridges between religions and to working together with all of us to secure peace,” Edelman said in a statement.

(1) This doesn't surprise me. The title of the article should be "Francis condemns 1900 year old Catholic Church teachings".

(2) Does anyone know for a fact whether the bolded is what these protesters actually said/wrote in their literature? I would tend to think they would more likely to use the terms false worship/false religion as opposed to insinuating that the Jєωιѕн people pray to pagan gods.

“aggression cannot be an act of faith.”

I guess that Pope Francis is not a fan of the Crusades.

Must not either be a fan of Christ turning over the tables of the money changers, for that matter.

Wait a minute here! Didn't he tell us to go back to our diocese "And make a mess'?

What a buffoon of a Pope! Tolerance of false religions?, instead of the conversion of souls to the only salvific True Catholic Faith?

Ecuмenism is not the conversion of heretics to Catholicism, by no means, but on the contrary, it is the conversion of Catholics to false religions, while they masquerade as true believers of the Catholic Church.

We're the Church Militant. It's our job to fight evil and what was going on in that Cathedral was evil. Period. It was corrupting the House of God with false worship and the enemies of the Church.

I think with each passing day more and more who side with "valid, but heretical" will question their stance more and more....

Many will no doubt fall away, and shy from the challenge before them.

But those who persevere to the end, they shall be saved. (Cf. Matt. xxiv. 13)
