In an impassioned address Friday, Pope Francis denied the existence of Islamic terrorism, while simultaneously asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.”
“Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist,” Francis said in his speech to a world meeting of populist movements.
What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact.
“No people is criminal or drug-trafficking or violent,” Francis said, while also suggesting—as he has on other occasions—that terrorism is primarily a result of economic inequalities rather than religious beliefs. “The poor and the poorer peoples are accused of violence yet, without equal opportunities, the different forms of aggression and conflict will find a fertile terrain for growth and will eventually explode.”
The Pope also reiterated his conviction that all religions promote peace and that the danger of violent radicalization exists equally in all religions.
“There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions—and with intolerant generalizations they become stronger because they feed on hate and xenophobia,” he said.
While denying the existence of Islamic terrorism, Francis also seemed to condemn the denial of global warming, asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.”

*shakingmyhead* I feel like telling Catholics that I’m not judging them based on their Pope.

This man must say this in order to paint “Fundametalists,” all Fundamentalists, Biblical too, as people who are murderers at heart and therefore worthy of death. Francis is trying to instruct the world in a psyop that he is running on the world as a community and not as individuals. Francis said that no one can have a personal relationship Jesus Christ apart from The Roman Catholic System, I say you probably can’t have one if you are a Roman Catholic and if you stay in that system, you will definitely pay for it, Revelation 18:4.

What an irrational and frankly stupid thing to say; is the man senile? Is the Pope totally political that he cannot see truth when he sees it?
What a sad statement fot the Catholic Church, and for this lost soul…

He’s probably the most political Pope ever. Globalist control and one-world religion is all he sees…

Maybe he just meant that Muslim terrorism does not exist inside the walls of Vatican City?
Another of the globalist shills, Merkel, made a similar statement today about Islam not being a source of terror. Right…and the Pope’s not Catholic
