Half the time the press reports the "pope said this today" and then you read the actual article and find out he either never said it or said something altogether different.
I know this Pope has Marxist leanings but I still would like an actual source for these kinds of articles
Easy to pontificate when you have armed personal guards.
Unless he has them removed or orders his security to discard their guns and carry nothing on them, he has no right calling for average people to no longer be armed
To make the incident even more ironic - The Leonine Walls that surround the Vatican were literally constructed to protect the Pope from raids by Muslim pirates, who sailed up the River Tiber and burnt down St Paul's Outside the Walls and burnt and ransacked Old St Peter's Basilica back in the 800s
he has no right calling for average people to no longer be armed
That's not what he said. He wasn't talking about the average people being armed. He was addressing the U.N. about military technology, warfare, and nuclear weapons.
No, it isn't. This has no bearing on any 2A case. The pope gave an opinion. Catholics have zero obligation to follow it any more than if he said he prefers tiramisu to coffee cake.

Part of the problem with this is that Socialist uprising have literally taken advantage of this sort of thing. If you read about the Khmer Rouge, you'll find out that the king ordered everyone disarmed after the civil war. The Khmer Rouge robbed the transports of seized arms, then took over the disarmed populace with their own guns.
Also, there was that Bible verse where Jesus said to sell your cloak to buy a sword if you had to...
People will say Jesus was "just" fulfilling prophecy with that bible verse. Don't let that slide. The fact that the disciples had 2 swords in their possession and Jesus didn't preach against it speaks volumes. Now, following that to it's conclusion, people might say "Maybe he did say something about it, it just isn't in the Bible." This is where you have to have 100% trust that the Bible is THE WORD OF GOD. God wouldn't have left something out of the Bible if it was of any lasting importance.
I'm sorry to see you're agnostic. While the worldly church has failed you, know that God doesn't require you to be a part of any worldly church for salvation.
Exactly. Reading these comments is eye opening. So many people here comment on what the pope said or believes and all they know is what they read about him in the media that hates Catholicism.
The pope was elevated by all the other cardinals who know him 100000000% better than any one here knows him.
Just like conservatives, the media deliberately take the Pope out-of-context and make deliberate 'liberties' with translation of what he says.

That hypocritical loser claimed Trump couldn't be Christian because he wanted to build the border wall.
Of course, he said that while sitting on his fat ass in a mini-country that is completely surrounded by a massive border wall.

This pope didn't build the vatican
Who does that remind you of? Maybe hollywood and the elite in the government. Get rid of your guns but we need OUR protection!
That is what everybody is saying, he is getting BTFO on Twitter.
Isn't it interesting that the very word we use to indicate some elite talking down tothe peasants is directly derived from the pope?
That's not what he said. He wasn't talking about the average people being armed. He was addressing the U.N. about military technology, warfare, and nuclear weapons.
Tell me again how he's only talking about the military contractors.
Does this mean ACB no longer supports the 2a?
No more than Pedes are bound to follow everything Trump has ever said on Twitter.
No, it isn't. This has no bearing on any 2A case. The pope gave an opinion. Catholics have zero obligation to follow it any more than if he said he prefers tiramisu to coffee cake.
Kek.
As a Catholic, my first thought on this was "ACB might be willing to bend a little on 2a now"
Then you're one poorly formed Catholic.
Probably
No. This has no bearing on any 2A case. The pope gave an opinion. Catholics have zero obligation to follow it any more than if he said he prefers tiramisu to coffee cake.
Interesting.

One would think a Pope from South America would have a different opinion.
I wonder if we could've gotten one from Cambodia?

Not only did they have 2 swords, they used them and cut off the ear of a servant, then Jesus healed that.
He wasn't talking about disarming individuals. He was addressing the U.N. about military technology, warfare, and nuclear weapons.

He’s the anti-pope.
Anti-Pope? Not yet.
But he is a bad Pope

Come on folks..
Seems pretty clear to me.
