If tweet fails to load, click here. I was actually stationed in Vicenza, Italy with the 509th Airborne Combat Team, part of SETAF's RDF, when Reagan placed those nukes in Comiso and at the Pluto launch site. We were close to being deployed to provide security alongside the Carbs and the Italian Paracadutisti. We jumped into Livorno (near Pisa) that week, joined with the Italian paratroopers (where they were stationed), to practice and stage incase they needed us. The Italian communists were big back then ... they were constantly at war with the Sicilian Mafia and the Napoli Cammora.
It was very heady times and the fact that there were so many American Communists that had gotten involved, it gave us an excuse to get involved from a diplomatic standpoint.
Ironic that one of them is now our Pope.

All of these 'Popes' of recent were nothing but stooges for the New World Order. This guy is a liberal Chicago social justice warrior. He should worry more about the 'priests' under his wing diddling little boys than Trump and company taking out communists/terrorists (BRICS, communism in the western hemisphere/ and weakening China and the left's favorite boogeyman, Russia).

The Pope clearly has a soft spot for communism and socialism, as many in the Catholic church hierarchy do.

Dang. This pope is clearly a false prophet. He does not understand or preach Biblical truth.

He’s one of Satan’s minions, and yet people still wonder why Trump has called this POS out.
We told you years ago this would get biblical. Not our fault a lot of people didn’t pay attention to the Q thread.

Well, he can’t be wrong apparently.

Did he expose himself?

So ... was he being hypocritical?

No.
However, I fail to see how a photo of a young Robert Prevost (he was 27 years old and just out of seminary in this photograph) rallying against nuclear missile deployments at a protest in Rome with a group of fellow Augustinians makes him a communist.
The sign says, "Augustinians for peace." That's hardly a pro-communist slogan.
As a matter of fact, there is little in this photograph at all to clue us in on what exactly is happening here. I could have just as easily posted the same photograph on social media and say this was a photo of Robert Prevost at a protest calling for the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I don’t want to hurt your feelings, sir. But you are a big part of what is wrong with the Catholic Church.

You didn't hurt my feelings at all. You're just wrong.

Good Catholic people need to take control of their church. I don’t think I’m wrong.

Now you know that this pope was selected by men, and not elevated by God

Yes they were ... very close.
South Pisa, once you crossed the river, was all communist. There were communist banners and pictures of Stalin and Mao all over the place.
Similar areas in Firenza, Milano and Napoli.
Commies controlled the transportation unions and they used to shut down the trains almost weekly.
We were deep into the Cold War and were always on edge.
