Pope warns religious orders: Take in refugees, or pay property taxes

Just not really in his back yard, kind of funny how that works.

As a Catholic , I Feel that when it Comes to Christian Virtues , this Pope is a Heretic by his Very Thoughts and Actions . He should be Excommunicated from the Catholic Church . An Abomination in the Eyes Of Our Lord and Savior !

Hey Mr Pope,

How bout you keep your priests on a leash or pay pedo taxes ?

seems fair, tosser!

im unaccustomed to such remarkably Christian acts. Overturning the tables of the money changers at the temple...that is exactly WJWD.

First, the Vatican should pay taxes on the child sex slavery ring they're currently in control of. Secondly, pay taxes on defending those pedophiles. As a matter of fact, who even cares what these satanists have to say? Who would allow such filth to travel their sovereign nation? Well, unless they're apart of those circles...

I normally don't listen to what the pope says.

That separation of church and state, and all.

But as the Pope is parroting world leaders ?

I smell collusion.

The state is your God, it does at is wishes with you, it houses you, feeds you, medicate you, you are owned by the state, just like a zoo owns the animal.

Your 2nd amendment is built on ideals, made by a primate.

And i really need to work on diplomacy

Marxism infiltrated the Church some time ago. I saw this guy's nonsense for what it is as well. He is so in with the UN World Council of Churches.

God forbid a man of religion talk about opening arms to people in need.

Two Vatican churches are not "his backyard"?

a reply to: ThirdEyeofHorus according to you everyone's a Marxist.

Francis declared that “land, housing and work are increasingly unavailable to the majority’ of the world’s population,” but said “If I talk about this, some will think that the Pope is communist.”
“They don’t understand that love for the poor is at the centre of the Gospel,” he said. “Demanding this isn’t unusual, it’s the social doctrine of the church.”.

Isn't the pope chosen by your God? Surely God doesn't make simple mistakes. I sense a lack of faith with many Christians on this site

He talks the talk but doesnt walk the walk, he lives in one of the richest countries in the world! Why doesnt he melt all the gold in the Vatican and buys a country to the refugees?! I only hear him talking and talking, he is quite different from his predecessors, but in the end he is just like all of them.

Does any head of state has the power to sell their country's historical artefacts?

Wealthiest country in the world and he will take only two families?

a reply to: Fireflysky

As I said before, it may be the wealthiest country in the world (I don't know if it is or not) but it has less than 600 citizens, two families of 3 each is 1% of their population.

a reply to: ArMaP

I can only assume that the two families will be investigated to make sure they as not terrorists, even though they have the best security in the world.
Again, I am not against helping people in need, I have seen proof first hand that it can and does help make the world a better place. I just find that the popes tactics seem to not come from inspiring others to do good deeds, but shaming others to good deeds. This in my opinion is missing the mark.

That's one of the reasons they are talking about families, from a security point of view is less likely to bring problems.

From what I could see the ones he was shaming were part of the church itself, so he has the right to shame them.

a reply to: ArMaP

Of course they do! They can sell whatever they want one way or another. Thing is, this pope is pretty much a demagoge.
