Pope Francis Calls For Nuclear Disarming Of U.S., U.K., France & Israel

by JASmius



....but not Russia, Red China, Pakistan, or Iran.  India might be negotiable.

He didn't say that in so many words, but what else, in practice, has "global nuclear weapons ban" ever meant?:

Pope Francis called for a global ban on nuclear weapons on Sunday as he commemorated the seventieth anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

He'd have gotten a better reception if he'd had Wolverine on the stage with him, since, you know, he was actually present at Nagasaki.

Wolverine, that is.

Francis told the crowd in Saint Peter's Square after his weekly Angelus address that "in war there are only losers, the only way to win a war is not to fight it".

Sounds very Chamberlainesque.  Too bad the Hitlers, Stalins, Maos, Khamaneis, Putins, Xis, al-Baghdadis, etc. don't seem to concur.  Which is why we need nuclear weapons to deter them from using them against us.  It may be escaping his Popiness's notice, but there hasn't been a general "hot" war on this planet in seventy years after two of them took place in a single generation.  The principal reason for that lengthy stretch of general (though not universal) peace has been the presence of nuclear weapons in the hands of the "good guy" countries.  You can call it a "balance of terror" if you like, but the key word in that phrase is "balance".  And it works.

In essence, Francis wants to take what Barack Obama has done with Iran - guarantee it a huge nuclear arsenal that they will use against us while we get rid of our own strategic arsenal - and writ it large.  A sentimental process that was SO effective in preventing the Second World War.  Indeed, one can argue that militant pacifism hastened the introduction and use of nuclear weapons in the first place.

Again, I don't think Francis has thought this idea through very thoroughly.  But then his godless ideology precludes such introspective due diligence.

And when I say godless, I do mean godless:

Pope Francis, in an interview with Argentine magazine Viva recently, gave his top ten suggestions on how people could have a “happier and more fulfilled life”.

His own godless Decalogue.  How quaint.

Two of his pieces of advice bear closer examination....

Suggestion #9, however, was a real doozy. “Don’t proselytize; respect others’ beliefs. “We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. But the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyses: ‘I am talking with you in order to persuade you,’ No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attraction, not proselytizing,” the Pope said.” [emphasis added]

How does that "exhortation" square with, say, II Timothy 4:2-4?:

Preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. [emphasis added]

Sounds like Francis, does it not?

Or James 5:19-20:

My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Or the Great Commission:

All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. [emphases added]

I'm noticing a pattern here.

The Red Pope isn't the Antichrist, ladies and gentlemen.  But Francis is one of his antecedents, paving the way for the ultimate Great Deception to come.
