People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry at a rally of thousands of young people at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
“If you trust only men you have lost,” he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.
“It makes me think of … people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn’t it?” he said to applause.
He also criticized those who invest in weapons industries, saying “duplicity is the currency of today … they say one thing and do another.”

Well, Pope Gorebull Warming, I don’t think anyone as Marxist as you are should call himself a Christian, either, so we are even.
Of all merchants to avoid, beware most the one selling peace.
Il Pape is from a Marxist nation in South America. and has kept his disgusting vile mouth shut all the years of him living there. he never instructed the government Marxist in Argentina to put down there arms so why is the piece of Satanist trash demanding us to disarm, I say to Il Pape bring it on because it wont happen here in the U.S. under any condition or situation, and how many times the fraud ( false prophet ) gives grandiose speeches at the filthy vile clap trap, called the UN. Tell your Swiss guards to disarm Il Pape at the Vatican, if not then shut your dirty mouth. there is nothing holy about you , your satans child.
He may well be the False Prophet
If you understand scriptures and have the wisdom you will know we are in the season of all these things coming upon the world. this Il Pape is evil and from evil he sprang, this guy is in bed with our own President douche bag, also known as the man of sin or the pre-cursor to satan entering onto to the world stage as some lord and savior who will save the world from all the calamities be-falling it. All These calamites have sprang from him and him alone, along with his demon minions. Our present douche bag and chief in the evil house is one of his children, so there we have the false prophet and the pre-cursor speaking to one another to screw the entire world and drag us all into a global one world piss hell hole.
I find his comments hypocritical at best. He calls himself a Christian yet he is not.
Tom, there isn’t anything Christian about him nor past popes, the only difference with this filthy dirt bag Pope, he is a Jesuit and Jesuits were forbidden to take on the role of Pope because they were like hit men in our times. the Catholic church was evil from its beginnings and is not the same church that Paul founded in Rome.
Anyone that is a pedophile is not a Christian than either. Kick out the pedophile priest’s instead of moving and hiding them.The Catholic church also says they are God on Earth, that’s blasphemy. Only God/ Christ can forgive sins. Also It was the Catholic church that changed worshiping from Saturday the Sabbath, (fourth Commandment) to Sunday to accommodate the heathens. How about the deal where they got rid of the Commandment about worshipping idols and split another into 2 so they still have 10, check that out. He should be wearing big floppy shoes and a red ball on his nose, clown.
