On Eve of Election, Pope Francis Stumps For Hillary

[HAPPY2BME]

Written by  Michael Matt | Editor

Though he mentioned neither candidate by name, it was obvious that Pope Francis was less than concerned that his talking points were bound to put him in Hillary Clinton's corner, just hours before the U.S. election.

Americamagazine.org reports:

    In a speech delivered at the Vatican just three days before the U.S. presidential election, Pope Francis urged social justice activists from around the world not to give into the politics of fear by building walls but instead work to build bridges. “Because fear—as well as being a good deal for the merchants of arms and death—weakens and destabilizes us, destroys our psychological and spiritual defenses, numbs us to the suffering of others,” he
    said.

    “In the end,” he continued, “it makes us cruel.”

    The pope did not mention the Nov. 8 U.S. election, but many of the themes he touched on have played out in debates between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton in recent months...

    The pope said on Saturday that Christians should not give into the temptation to build walls, even in the face of “hateful and cowardly attacks,” a reference to global terrorism. “Dear Brothers and Sisters,” he said, “all walls fall.”

But seriously, Remnant columnist Elizabeth Yore seems to have a point when she writes that Clinton/Soros have managed to coopt the Vatican and make a surrogate out of Pope Francis.  God help us.

Oh bahhh-loney! "The Remnant" represents/serves/whatevers "traditional Catholics" people who are on the fringe of Catholic fellowship and outside of Catholic fellowship. They'd see a conspiracy every time the Pope sneezed, if they precisely when and where he did it.

Leave conspiracy theories and dogwhistle logic to DU-folk and their ilk, please!

This Pope is an embarrassment to the world

This Pope is an embarrassment to the world

From this Evangelical Protestant's POV, Francis seems to shoot his mouth off with less than careful thought or reasonably full information.

OTOH, the articles in the OP are from a jaundiced "pen", Himalayanizing an imaginary anthill. There's just no way to get from the general comments Francis made to "stumping" for Hillary - whether literally campaigning for her or merely repeating her talking points.

  The bulletin of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church has included two warnings in the past month invoking eternal damnation and calling Hillary Clinton a Satanic instrument, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. 

  “It is a mortal sin to vote Democrat,” the Oct. 16 flyer said in English and Spanish.
