Pope Francis allies: Bannon use 'apocalyptic geopolitics' like islamic extremists

An explosive article written by two close associates of Pope Francis has accused Steve Bannon, the chief White House strategist, of espousing an “apocalyptic geopolitics” whose roots are “not too far apart” from that of Islamist extremism.
The article in La Civiltà Cattolica, which is vetted by the Vatican before publication, lays out a scathing critique of “evangelical fundamentalism” in the US, arguing that, on issues ranging from climate change to “migrants and Muslims”, proponents of the ideology have adopted a twisted reading of scripture and the Old Testament that promotes conflict and war above all else.
It claims that fake religious arguments are being used to demonise segments of the population – particularly when it comes to migrants and Muslims – and to promote the US as a nation that is blessed by God, without ever taking into account the “bond between capital and profits and arms sales”.
Wonder if Bannon is going to call the Pope a Cuck

When the Pope becomes a Christian, let me know and I'll care what he has to say about Christianity.

I don't like bannon (not for political reasons)
But He has to be the most libeled person on the planet. It is commonly said and printed by outlets that he is a leader of the white supremacist movement
And equating him with Islamic extremism (which is exactly the subtext of such a statement) is inflammatory rhetoric...and it's from the pope
Trump derangement syndrome.

Winston Churchill used apocalyptic geopolitics in his famous "fight them on the beaches"...... not unlike Hitler

I don't always agree with this Pope, but he's definitely not wrong about this. I often take offense to how scripture is used in demonizing Muslims. It's completely unnecessary. Muslims are already their own worst enemy. The actions of their own community already makes them feared in the public eye. There's no reason to drag scripture into this.
Jesus taught us that if someone were to strike us, that we should turn the other cheek. That forgiveness, not of our sins by God but each and every one of us forgiving the sins of our fellow man, even those egregious sins against ourselves is the key to salvation. He taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. He also taught us that we should divorce the concerns of the state from the concerns of faith, that faith is up to the individual.
We should render unto Caesar that which is Caesars and judge not lest ye be judged.
The biggest subject of Jesus's criticisms was never the oppressive Roman regime, but the corrupt and oppressive ecclesiastical one. He railed against people who used religion and apparent Godliness to improve their social standing and lambasted people for forming lynch mobs to enforce God's justice.
We should listen to Jesus. As individuals, we should love everyone, even those, especially those, who hate us and/or have wronged us. However, that should not prevent our government from exercising common sense.

Uh, that's his papal name, not his given name.
But, yeah, IDGAF what the pope says, generally, and especially this one.

Aren't Popes supposed to be kinda sorta for their religion?

Ask any catholic priest about Israel and sit back and enjoy the hypocrisy
The Vatican shouldn't throw stones from glass houses.

Ask an Orthodox priest the same question and be prepared to call the ADL!

Maybe not a cuck, but The False Prophet would hit a little closer to home.

I think (hope) auggie was joking.

Every priest I had growing up was a balls to the wall anti Semite. They'd never say it out loud but these quiet, dull old guys would sound like reverend sharpton when Israel came up
Also the Vatican helped protect and smuggle Nazi war criminals out of Europe
