Ah yes yet another statement that has been put forth by our wise leader...

http://time.com/3930178/pope-francis-weapons-manufacturers-christian/

Hmm as with his statement to the world about how black unemployment is a travesty I wonder if Pope Francis will gladly remove all guards that currently protect him at the Vatican.

  • Although I'm very pro-gun control, I think the pope is going way too far here.

    He's the Pope, he's a major world leader - gun manufacturers are the reason we aren't talking about the late Jorge Bergoglio.

  • I'm pro-gun control as well.  As Fr. Violette told me when I requested permission to carry concealed at mass  (our church is smack in the middle of the 'hood, I go NOWHERE near that area without my pistol)
    "Hit what you shoot!" then he gave me the blessing.

    If your pro gun control, I've really lost all respect for your ability to think at all.  You should really go away now!!

  • Do not forget that the Vatican's Swiss Guard has the most advanced weapons to protect
    the Pope.
    The men whom want to disarmed you also has their own armed guards.

  • Self-defense is one of the most basic rights out there.  A 90 lb young woman can defend herself against someone like the 300 lb Michael Brown, just like Officer Wilson did when Brown attacked him after being told to stop walking in the middle of the street.  

    Guns are no more than a simple tool, no more of less.

    Our Lord told the apostles to buy a sword.  He told them that if they didn't have enough money that they should sell something in order to get the needed money.

  • Bergoglio is not only an enemy of the Faith, he's an enemy of common sense. What a tool.
    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

  • Frank is a ding dong. The superficial sweetness gives the lukewarm and apostates a sugar rush, much like the diabetes-causing high fructose corn syrup, but little does he nourish the real Faith of the flock; on the contrary, Frank is very harmful.

    He also needs to shut his soup cooler regarding owning firearms.
    Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war. ~ Psalms 143:1 (Douay-Rheims)

    Pope Francis: Gun Owners and Gun Manufacturers are "Merchants of Death"


    What about sword owners and sword manufacturers:  are they also 'merchants of death'?  

    And if so, what does that make anyone who recommends getting a sword from one of these merchants of death?  

    An agent of death?

    Was Our Lord an agent of death?

  • Bergoglio is an enemy of the salvation of souls. He does not tell
    people what is necessary to save their souls.
    This is the Spirit of Vatican II.

  • Gun owners and manufacturers are the sole thing keeping him alive. He rides in an open car through a crowd in Rome damn near weekly. If someone wanted to αssαssιnαtҽ Bergoglio, they easily could.

    Pope Francis sure seems to think so, or at least one could conclude this from his own words.

    Later in the same "homily" Pope Francis criticized military forces in WWII for not bombing the train lines that lead to cσncєnтrαтισn cαмρs.  

    I think Pope Francis only wants militaries and governments to be armed.  This is a standard belief among statists.
