#1 People who have lived in darkness -- have yet more darkness shoveled on top of them.

#2 EX-communicate yourself, Pope.
You are nothing but a phony, marxist, useless idiot.
You lead nothing and you are standing in the way of someone who could actually do their job.

All liberals are like this.
Annoying paywasters.

#7 Jesuits are strong on leftism/liberalism/progressivism. Not Orthodxy. After such great scholarly minds as Saint John Paull II The Great, and Benedict XVI, we now have a mediocre intellect as Pope who is headed into disaster and scandal with his soft headed "feelings first" approach.

#8 In his address Friday, the Pope denounced “the guise of what is politically correct or ideologically fashionable,” which he described as a “hypocritical attitude,” while urging real solutions to unemployment, corruption, the identity crisis, and “the gutting of democracies.”
“The system’s gangrene cannot be whitewashed forever because sooner or later the stench becomes too strong,” he said.

The Jesuits are uniting: Podesta, Brennan, Francis....war and refugees are good for the business of the church. Toward the Global Liberation of All Nations and Peoples requires the pope end perpetual colonization and subjugation of peoples through the archaic Doctrine of Discovery. Besides Native Americans, the principle applies to the UNHCR, Palestinians, refugees, and other indiginous peoples. Catholic Charities are also being forced to close refugee resettlement offices because of Trump's immigration policies. The Deep State is a bloated global bureaucracy. Fumigating required before cleaning.

#9 “Guterres is a perfect example of the unholy alliance between the secular Marxist left and the Islamists.”
The nerve! UN Secretary General goes to Saudi Arabia and says “Islamophobia” to blame for world’s worst violence

#10 Yes not all Muslims are terrorists but when polled a strikingly large number of Muslims living in Muslim nations believe in things that the west finds very objectionable. And many support the terrorism against non Muslims and other sects at alarming rates.

No they are not terrorists but they are not part of western civilization and we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking they are.

Many liberal opinions on Muslims were based on very moderate (nearly atheist but unwilling to admit it) Muslims who fled their nations. I would say that is a fringe and not the baseline we should use.

#11 Perhaps he's secretly being paid by the Protestants to encourage conversions away from Catholicism?

#12 Then explain why there are refugees from Islamic countries?

#13 “Please it your Grace,” said the Prince, very coldly and politely. “You see that lamp. It is round and yellow and gives light to the whole room; and hangeth moreover from the roof. Now that thing which we call the sun is like the lamp, only far greater and brighter. It giveth light to the whole Overworld and hangeth in the sky.”

“Hangeth from what, my lord?” asked the Witch; and then, while they were all still thinking how to answer her, she added, with another of her soft, silver laughs: “You see? When you try to think out clearly what this sun must be, you cannot tell me. You can only tell me it is like the lamp. Your sun is a dream; and there is nothing in that dream that was not copied from the lamp. The lamp is the real thing; the sun is but a tale, a children’s story.”

“Yes, I see now,” said Jill in a heavy, hopeless tone. “It must be so.” And while she said this, it seemed to her to be very good sense.

Slowly and gravely the Witch repeated, “There is no sun.” And they all said nothing. She repeated, in a softer and deeper voice. “There is no sun.” After a pause, and after a struggle in their minds, all four of them said together, “You are right. There is no sun.” It was such a relief to give in and say it.

“There never was a sun,” said the Witch.

“No. There never was a sun,” said the Prince, and the Marsh-wiggle, and the children.

#14 I'll be glad when its time for a new Pope.

#15 Is his language that staggeringly sloppy (wouldn't be the first time) or is the Vatican translation team sloppy or invidious (wouldn't be the first time)? Or is he trying to work an obvious absurdity into a homily?
