Pope Francis on Sunday scolded countries that produce weapons for wars fought elsewhere and then refuse to take in refugees fleeing the very same conflicts.
The 82-year-old Argentine pope, whose parents were of Italian immigrant stock, has made the defense of migrants and refugees a plank of his pontificate and he has often clashed over immigration policy with US President Donald Trump and populist anti-immigrant politicians in Europe.

I'm a diehard Catholic but only listen to Popes when they talk about dogma not politics.

I am really grateful to this Pope for making me split with the Catholic church.

I wholeheartedly agree. Russia and China SHOULD be scolded for this.

How many refugees are allowed into the Vatican? How about giving up some of the pomp and circumstance which surrounds the Pope and give it to the refugees. Whenever I see pictures of Catholic churches and cathedrals, I see lots of gold and expensive statues and art. Why not sell all of that and give it to the poor? Start practicing what you preach.

The real question is when this pretentious Socialist will stop getting media coverage. He is a bad dude for all Christians because he is power hungry socialist not a real Catholic.

The Catholic Church is like the NFL - both badly misjudged their audience. Stadiums and cathedrals are now empty

#7, setting aside its refusal to house the world's refugee's within a 0.17 square mile area, it's hard to deny the fact that the Catholic Church - regardless of who sits in the chair of Peter - certainly practices what it preaches in terms of supporting the poor, the homeless, the hungry. It is the largest charitable organization in the world, in fact.
The reality is that a church, just like people, can both 1) have wealth as well as 2) minister generously to the needy. Burning down the henhouse won't get you more eggs.

My diocese has an autocratic bishop who never was a parish priest, and a pope who shows his ignorance every time he makes a pronouncement.
The end times are near! (Send your faith donations to me)

As a life long member of the Catholic Church, I keep asking myself, " Is the Pope Catholic ?"

This anti-pope is no idiot. He is a dangerous man. That fact will be increasingly on display for the next few weeks during the Amazon synod. I encourage my fellow ldotters to seek information from reputable sites like Lifesite News, Church Militant and Taylor Marshall on YouTube for what might be world wide repercussions in the Church. For all you anti-Catholic bigots, don't get your hopes up. The Church will survive as Jesus promised, though it might have to go underground. Prophesy is being fulfilled. Fatima, Akita and Leo XIII.

I used to think of scolding the Pope myself. Tell him he needs to talk more about our Savior. But I'm beginning to suspect he can't do that.
At all.

This Pope is making himself largely irrelevant to most people living in the USA by engaging by taking what are very controversial political positions many times that are adverse to American interests and US National security.

Yea, our guns are a big problem until you need us. Guns were a problem in Great Britain until Herr Schicklegruber came a calling then the American patriots and sportsmen gladly sent their spare guns off the the open and grateful arms of our British brothers who discovered they had built their house out of straw.
You might want to examine why you aren't speaking Deutsche there comrade Pope. You might also want to explore the correlation between those that want to confiscate guns and those who want to eliminate the Christian faith. Clue: it's a 100% correlation. What do you make of that

I scold the Vatican for preaching their virtues without taking in refugees.
The vatican should be sold off and the proceeds used to repair the damage done in South American

With all due respect to Catholics, the Pope was not elected to any office anywhere and he is certainly not setting policy in the US. So he can save his scolding for his own flock and leave the rest of us alone.

Unless he dies, the changes in dogma will come... give it time. Of course the next "pope" will probably be an openly gay or transgendered communist if this trend continues. I hold out little hope the lavender mafia that controls the Vatican will listen to the will of God in any matter much less the appointing of a pope. And this pope is stacking the Cardinal deck to make sure his successor is equally corrupt and ungodly.

The Pope is not the vicar of Christ on earth as we were taught in Catechism. What the Catholic Left did to Pope Benedict reminds me of what the American Left in this country is trying to do to President Trump. The only thing is the American people will not let it happen.

What else would the Soros/Clinton pope say? He was installed in a Vatican coup.

#12, the Catholic Church is not generous with its own money, it's the money donated by it's millions of members that is uses to receive credit for its generosity. Just like the government does. In return for those donations, the people expect that money to be used wisely, not to sit in the Vatican's vaults and provide church leadership with a lavish lifestyle. Bishops wearing expensive clothes and riding around in black limousines send exactly the wrong message. My childhood priest had a new Jeep, a red Riviera, a boat and went hunting and fishing in Canada while presiding over small towns full of coal miners. Not cool. It reeks of Communism.
Look at the countries that accept refugees and whose populace is not armed. France, Germany, Britain and the rest of the euros are overwhelmed with crime, rape, robbery and murder. Is that what Catholics really want? That philosophy does not fit my family.

I am not a Catholic, but after attending Catholic school for a year, I always respected them and their religion, and always paid attention to what the Popes had to say. This guy has ended that part. I no longer put any stock in what this communist fool says.
