Pope downplays the Holocaust, defends Islam, and equates capitalism with terrorism
It’s been a busy week for the Pope. What’s next? Accepting homosexuality in the Catholic church? Wait… nevermind. He’s already done that when he said Christians should apologize to gay people and ask for forgiveness. Has the Pope actually read the Bible?
So the Pope makes a political and “silent” stop over at the Nazi death camp in Auschwitz and completely downplays the death of six million Jews:
Pope Francis says human “cruelty did not end in Auschwitz” and that similar atrocities are being inflicted in war zones across the world today, citing prisoners who are kept in inhuman conditions and tortured.
Francis visited the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau on Friday, expressing his sorrow there in contemplative silence and prayer. Only hours later did he speak out about his feelings as he addressed pilgrims from a window of the archbishop’s residence in Krakow.
He said: “How much pain! How much cruelty! Is it possible that we humans created in G-d’s image are capable of doing these things? . . . Cruelty did not end in Auschwitz, in Birkenau.”
The pope continued: “Many prisoners are tortured just to make them talk. It’s terrible. Today, there are men and women in overcrowded prisons. They live — forgive me — like animals. Today, there is this cruelty. We say, yes, there we saw the cruelty of 70 years ago, how people died being shot or hanged or with gas.
“Today in many parts of the world where there is war, the same thing is happening.”
After his comparison to the brutal murder of six million Jews to… well… just people in prisons today, the Jew-hating Pope who signed a treaty recognizing the so-called State of “Palestine” wasn’t finished.
The Pope proclaimed that it is “wrong to identify Islam with violence”:
Pope Francis said on Sunday that it was wrong to identify Islam with violence and that social injustice and idolatry of money were among the prime causes of terrorism.
“I think it is not right to identity Islam with violence,” he told reporters aboard the plane taking him back to Rome after a five-day trip to Poland. “This is not right and this is not true.”
Francis was responding to a question about the killing on July 26 of an 85-year-old Roman Catholic priest by knife-wielding [Muslim terrorists] who burst into a church service in western France, forced the priest to his knees and slit his throat. The attack was claimed by Islamic State.
…
“If I speak of Islamic violence, I have to speak of Catholic violence. Not all Muslims are violent,” he said.
He said there were various causes of terrorism.
“I know it dangerous to say this but terrorism grows when there is no other option and when money is made a god and it, instead of the person, is put at the centre of the world economy,” he said.
“That is the first form of terrorism. That is a basic terrorism against all humanity. Let’s talk about that,” he said.
…
He told reporters on the plane that lack of economic opportunities for young people in Europe was also to blame for terrorism.
“I ask myself how many young people that we Europeans have left devoid of ideals, who do not have work. Then they turn to drugs and alcohol or enlist in ISIS,” [because drugs and alcohol are exactly the same thing as joining up with ISIS] he said, referring to the group also known as Islamic State.
Oh but that’s not all!
The Pope demands that all countries open their borders to the “religion of peace” Islamic migrants. He continued demanding Poland open up their borders to third world migrants:
Pope Francis demanded Poland “overcome fear” and open their borders to Muslim migrants who are “fleeing wars and hunger”. The pontiff claimed wars are nothing to do with religion as “all religions want peace”.
And ended it equating capitalism with terrorism.
Further attempting to downplay a connection between Islam and terrorism, the Pope implied that capitalism, if anything, is a type of terrorism.
“When you place at the center of the world economy the ‘G-d of Money,’ that’s terrorism against all humanity.”
I don’t know about you, but I think the Pope should go to the Middle East and live with the “peaceful” Muslim there.
