Pope Francis went there. On a day when Trump and the fetid corpse of the Republican party are trying to find new and disgusting ways to smear the Khan family and Islam in general Pope Francis told a reporter the following...
"If I speak of Islamic violence, I should speak of Catholic violence," the pope said.
"I believe that in pretty much every religion there is always a small group of fundamentalists," he said, adding, "When fundamentalism comes to kill, it can kill with the language — the Apostle James says this, not me — and even with a knife, no?"
Francis went on to say that the real cause of terrorism lies in the idolatry of wealth: "Terrorism grows when there are no other options, and when the center of the global economy is the god of money and not the person."
Wow, a rebuke of greed, saying Catholics have to own up to their own violence? As you can imagine, the Catholic Trump supporters are having whole herds of cows over this. My wife’s Facebook page is filled with their white, hot rage. I realize the Pope won’t endorse a candidate for President. But he just clearly stated that hate and greed are a bad thing. And which party embraces those things? That would be Trump’s party. So Catholics in America, are you listening?
