TURIN, Italy (Reuters) – 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.”
Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.
He spoke of the “tragedy of the Shoah,” using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.
“The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?”
Discussing World War One, he spoke of “the great tragedy of Armenia” but did not use the word “genocide”.
Francis sparked a diplomatic row in April calling the massacre of up to 1.5 million Armenians 100 years ago “the first genocide of the 20th century,” prompting Turkey to recall its ambassador to the Vatican.

Funny stuff, and yet those who prey on children and people who believe in fairy tales, still manage to still call themselves priests, and cardinals and pope. A pope is nothing more than a pimp, promoting (constantly changing)contorted views tailored to mislead slave minds into giving up the right to think clearly. They muddy history with lies and lullabies , and offer, Hebrew Utopianism to placate once free minds. The law of laws is not to be found in Hebrew consonants or upon tables of brass and stone, but in every man’s own heart. Statute books and golden rules were made to fetter slaves and fools.
THIS Pope is a Jesuit Pope!
That being stated, how come it’s never reported and many people are not aware of the BLACK POPE and the Jesuits! And, no-before you think I am being racist there is a BLACK POPE and he is caucasion. The Jesuits infiltrated the Vatican. The Jesuits wear BLACK ROBES-with red or pink head wear and waist ties.
Take sometime to look up Eric John Phelps and listen to his videos regarding the Jesuits. IF someone you know has said derogatory comments regarding Eric John Phelps do not take them at word.
Looks like to me the pope`s Jewishness is sticking out .
Said the paedophile
Jesus told his disciples to arm themselves with swords, what does that make Jesus, what does that make the sword manufacture?
What Crusades?
This coming from the head anti-Christian hypocrite himself.
