This is amusing, coming from the man with armed Swiss guards for security.
Pope Francis insinuated over the weekend that weapons manufacturers and those who invest in the weapons industry are hypocrites if they call themselves Christians.
“It makes me think of…people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons,” he said at a youth rally in Turin, Italy, according to Reuters. “That leads to a bit of distrust, doesn’t it?”

I think Pope Francis has a thought he would like to get across, but his actual statements are confusing. I hope he was talking to those who are the middle men buying and selling weapons to anyone in the world. Surely his Holiness knows this is not a perfect world. If it were not for the superior manufacturing capability of the United States during WWII, the result of that horrible war may have been different. Yes, 54 million people died in that conflict, but it was the leaders in Japan and Germany that brought about that war.
He also criticized those who invest in weapons industries, saying “duplicity is the currency of today…they say one thing and do another.”
Pope Francis says gun owners can’t be Christian. So he’s protected by a totally heathen Swiss Guard? Maybe they’re Hare Krishna’s.

So the Pope questions the faith of gun owners…so should we question his faith because he rides around in a bulletproof box?

The Pope is condemning all wars but to say that those who provide weapons for our defense cannot be Christians is insulting. Pope Francis is the only Pope of recent times so loose in his choice of words. It is like he does not think of the ramifications of his utterances.
Now the Pope says gun owners can’t call themselves Christian. Well Your Holiness, consider this Catholic lapsed. pic.twitter.com/F3IGvvk2th

Note to the “weapons industry” (gun sellers, knife makers, and employees or stockholders of same)–think about this when they pass the offering plate around. Maybe you had better keep that tainted, ill-gained money in your pocket.
He should be very prudent when making comments. I wish him well and hope he can be effective in bringing peace to the world.
Do you think the Pope was wrong on his condemnation? Share this story on Twitter and Facebook. Let us know what you think about the course he took in our comments section below.

To me it sounds like this pope Benedict might be the biggest hippocritt of them all. I don’t know but God is the judge of us all.
I truly hope the bishops across this country get their phones and emails ringing off the hook! This is truly Obama’s pope! And I am convinced once and for all that this pope was a political plant by the Administration. He is not a religious leader, he is a false prophet! Here stands a man that will defend homosexuals and welfare abusers while all along stabbing hard working, honest, law abiding, gun owning Americans in the backs! It’s time the TRUE Catholics stand up and run him out on a rail! demand that he step down due to the fact that he has never followed the Catholic doctrine! And all he is trying to do is push a liberal agenda to destroy the power of the people here and across every free nation on this planet! The time to stand is NOW!
i aint never getting rid of my guns. I drive around on my car with a gun and a bible. I aint never scared the good lord jesus christ will keep me safe and if he doesnt ill take matters to my own hands. We all no jesus would carry a gun for protection if he had one. I think all churches should carry guns or safty cuz these librals are gonna be coming for us soon with all of this anti christian talk in the air. Oboma is the worst president ever and this Pope aint no real christian. All the christians i no are not afriad to use there guns if they need be. how can somone think safty is a bad thing? I aint never been educated on nothing but guns and jesus christ and this stuff the pope is saying just aint adding up.
This pope along with our president are two of the biggest socialist leaders we have ever seen. Would he have said the same about the pioneers who had guns to provide food and protection for their families?
This one verse from the Bible says it all and I would hope the Pope would heed the words of his supposed boss, recant his words and come out publicly and to those he was speaking to and in his writings and apologize for his sin. Maybe a couple of hundred Hail Maries for each firearms manufacturer that currently exists would also be appropriate for him personally to say considering his position in Christianity.
This one phrase I mentioned is as follows: ‘Judge not lest ye be judged.” Get the point Pope?
Does the Pope know he is being protected by people with GUNS.
