Pope Francis has said that Donald Trump’s plans to deport illegal migrants from the US would be a “disgrace” if they materialised.
Speaking to an Italian TV programme from his Vatican residence, Francis said that if the plans went ahead, Trump would make “poor wretches that don’t have anything foot the bill”.
“That’s not right. That’s not how you solve problems,” he said.
Papal Joe Biden?
Christians face persecution, discrimination, forced conversion and even mass murder for their faith in many parts of the Muslim world, yet Pope Francis, who never misses a chance to criticize Israel, in his upcoming book called Hope, calls for an investigation to see if the Jews are committing a “genocide” against Palestinian Muslims in the Gaza Strip.
The Jews are not committing genocide against Muslims in Gaza, whose population grew almost 3% last year. Muslims, however, are committing mass murder via jihad against Christians in Africa. Yet the pope cowers from defending his own flock.
Pope Francis has revealed he was targeted by suicide bombers during a visit to Iraq, but was saved when British intelligence tipped off local police who killed the bombers before they could strike.
The attacks were planned in 2021 during his visit to Mosul, where Iraqi Christians had been persecuted during the town’s occupation by Islamic State fighters between 2014 and 2017. Francis said he was told of the planned attacks as soon as he flew into Iraq to start his visit in March that year.
Pope Francis and Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, considered a potential successor to Francis, have reportedly approved an LGBT event for the 2025 Jubilee, including a ‘pilgrimage’ passing through the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica.
Pope Francis is calling for an investigation to determine if Israel’s attacks in Gaza constitute genocide, according to excerpts released Sunday from an upcoming new book ahead of the pontiff’s jubilee year.
It’s the first time that Francis has openly urged for an investigation of genocide allegations over Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. In September, he said Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon have been “immoral” and disproportionate, and that its military has gone beyond the rules of war.
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis suggested Sunday that Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon have been “immoral” and disproportionate, saying its military domination has gone beyond the rules of war.
Francis was asked en route home from Belgium about Israel’s targeted killing of one of Hezbollah’s founding members, Hassan Nasrallah. Friday’s strike in Beirut targeted an area greater than a city block and reduced several residential buildings to rubble, and at least six other deaths have been confirmed.
Recently, while addressing an inter-religious meeting of young people in Singapore, Pope Francis stated that “every religion is a way to arrive at God.”
Francis, who apparently deviated from his prepared speech and spoke extemporaneously, said that no religion should be given priority and that individuals should instead focus on parity between beliefs.
He has downgraded the first human right.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, when advising Catholics to “choose the lesser evil” between Vice President Kamala Harris, who supports unrestricted abortion, and former President Donald Trump, who supports the deportation of illegal aliens and stronger border control, effectively equated the killing of unborn babies with the deportation of illegal aliens. The pope said that he did not know which is the greater evil, and advised American Catholics to consult their “conscience” when making their choice. This is a far cry from Pope John Paul II’s words in Evangelium Vitae where he recognized and affirmed that “the right to life” is that “upon which all other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop.” George Weigel noted that John Paul II understood that the right to live is the “first human right.” Pope Francis has therefore downgraded the first human right.
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis on Friday slammed both U.S. presidential candidates for what he called anti-life policies on abortion and migration, and he advised American Catholics to choose who they think is the “lesser evil” in the upcoming U.S. elections.
“Both are against life, be it the one who kicks out migrants, or be it the one who kills babies,″ Francis said.
It’s perfectly understandable that the Islamic State (ISIS) would want to murder the most prominent exponent of Christianity. After all, the notorious jihad terror group is trying to engulf us all in a global religious war. Yet at the same time, the Islamic State jihadis don’t seem to have thought this through. Pope Francis is one of the world’s foremost non-Muslim boosters of Islam. If the “Pope of Islam,” of all people, gets offed by Islamic jihadis, it might end up being bad for ISIS’ image — that is, outside of its fanbase of fellow bloodthirsty jihadis.
The terrorists were planning to kill the Pope because of his visit to Jakarta’s Istiqlal mosque and “the government’s appeal to television stations to refrain from the usual broadcasting of azan (Islamic call to prayer) while a live broadcast of Pope Francis’ visit was in session.”
Just in time for U.S. elections, Pope Francis waded into U.S. politics, and as he exhorts others to do, decided to “make a mess.”
ROME — Immigration laws should not be made stricter but rather looser, to allow more immigrants to cross international borders, Pope Francis said Wednesday.
“Rather than more restrictive laws and the militarization of borders, what is needed is an expansion of secure and regular means of access,” the pontiff told those present for his weekly General Audience, “and a global governance of migrations based on justice, fraternity and solidarity.”
Pope Francis met with prominent comedians, including pro-abortion Stephen Colbert, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jimmy Fallon, and told them that their jokes “make God smile.”
On Friday morning, Francis received around 100 comedians from 15 countries for a private audience, including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Whoopi Goldberg, Conan O’Brien, and Chris Rock. Heterodox Father James Martin, who was formerly dubbed the “chaplain” of Stephen Colbert’s vulgar, left-wing “The Colbert Report,” was also present at the event.
‘Francis clearly understands that the Vatican is structurally gay,’ says Frédéric Martel
Pope Francis this week apologized for decrying the “frociaggine” — or “faggotry” — in the Vatican and in Catholic seminaries for the second time in a matter of weeks. On Tuesday in a private meeting, Francis mentioned the “air of faggotry” in the Vatican, which followed his May 20 comment that “nella chiesa c’è troppa aria di frociaggine” — “in our Church there is too much of an air of faggotry.”
The Spectator reached out to Frédéric Martel, an anchor at Radio France, a professor at the ZHdK University in Zurich and the author of twelve books, including In the Closet of the Vatican, his explosive New York Times bestseller about the widespread hypocritical homosexual behavior rife in the higher echelons of the Church. Martel offers his response on the reasons behind the Pope’s recent remarks.
