“Three days ago, there was a gesture of war, of destruction, in a city of Europe by people who don’t want to live in peace,” he said. “Behind that gesture there were arms manufacturers, arms traffickers, who want blood, not peace, who want war, not brotherhood,” he said.In a reference to the Brussels attackers, Francis condemned “those poor creatures who buy weapons in order to destroy brotherhood”, comparing them to Judas Iscariot, the apostle who the Bible says betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.

I can give many people a pass for not knowing the history of Muslim aggression against Christians since Mohamed was pumping goats and 10-year-old girls in the desert, but that the head of the Catholic Church just memory-holes more than a thousand years of facts is beyond redemption. But that is what you get when Cardinals play the “Whose Turn Is Now To Wear The White Hat” game and we end up with a Che Guevara in robes.
Since I’m not Catholic, I don’t give a shit what some guy in a funny hat has to say. This one is just another commie to me.
And with one ill-conceived comment (among many, many others, but we’ll focus on this one), the entire Catholic Church, from the top down, ironically loses the “mandate of Heaven”.
They are no longer a legitimate authority on Earth.
