The catholic church in concert with the Spanish crown committed genocide of over 20 million indigenous ppl whom they gave only five minutes to to convert or get burned.
The decree they read to them before burning them alive was read in a language the native could not comprehend.
In most criminal and evil ways the Christian thugs would surround the towns in dawn hours and read the decree when the natives were still sleeping without giving them the chance to do anything and started burning down the town and their people. And in the midst of all these, their possessions of thousands of years of gold were stolen and looted.
GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.
Mr. pope, stop being an angel and come clean on your bloody evil past.

Elenam, you are not an ewe, please stop using that name. You are sick in your head because two evils do not make right. The past is gone so why do you justify these evil act that is going on with that past? The past is gone and people should allow God to judge the evil our forefathers did to others. God will judge us and no one has the right in the name of God Almighty to judge the wrong doings of people who have Wrongs by killing. People are in agony because they have lost their love ones with these evil act of demon possess people and you are here justifying the act with what Catholic church has done in the past. Who care about Catholic church , Christian are the fellowers of Christ not churches. We only go to the church to listen to the teaching of Christ. People go to church just for going sake and others go to church because they have really given their lives to Christ . Those Catholic whom you have described by doing that act at that time were demon possessed by satan the devil. And the Muslims who are doing these evil things are also possess by the demon. They do not know the devil is using them. They are being used by the devil .They are bringing curses upon their lives and all their generations. Alla or God of Abraham is not involve in what they are doing. Their minds are possessed by the devil and these evil will destroy all their generation. No one has to kill them because they have done these evil but their sins will chase them. Please be careful how you justify wrong doings.

Did you hear about the Muslim cannibal who joined the police force? He said he wanted to grill his Christian suspects.
2]Two voodoo cannibals were having their dinner. One said to the other “I don’t like your Christian friend.” The other one said, “Well, put him to one side and just eat the vegetables.”
3]Why don’t the Voodoo cannibals eat Christian comedians? They taste funny.
4]A Boko Haram cannibal son and his father are out looking for food. They are watching Christian people walk down the street. The son suggested a particularly plump woman and the father rejected saying that she’s too fatty. Later on the son asked about a very skinny woman. Again the father refused saying that she’s to skinny. After a while the son pointed out a very attractive woman.” sure son” the father replied, drooling. “We ll take her home and eat your Boko haram mother!”

In the Hadith of Kanz Al-Muttaqi. vol II, pp. 252-286, we have the following excerpts:
"A day and a night of fighting on the frontier is better than a month of fasting and prayer". Here you see that gluttons and lazy Muslims will prefer this practice.
The Hadith goes on to say "Swords are the keys to paradise". "Paradise is under the shadow of swords". "He who draws his sword in the path of Allah has sworn allegiance to Allah." The unbeliever and the one who kills will never meet in Hell". This is a blanket Assurance of Protection for Muslims who are not upright - meaning spilling the blood of non-Muslims will cleanse a violent Muslims of all their wrongdoings.
"Allah sent me as a mercy and a portent; He did not send me as a trader or a cultivator. The worst community on the day of Resurrection are the traders and the cultivators except those of them who are niggardly with their religion". "Go in the name of Allah and in Allah and in the religion of the Prophet of Allah! Do not kill the very old, the infant, the child or the woman. Bring all the booty, holding back no part of it. Maintain order and do good, for Allah loves those who do good". If you find a tithe collector, kill him". "Expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula..."

VATICAN CITY, Rome -
Pope Francis shocked the Catholic world today announcing that he plans on stepping down from his position. Papal Resignation is extremely rare, and this will only be the 7th time in the history of the church. Pope Francis made his announcement from his balcony in Vatican City to thousand of shocked spectators.
“I have come to the conclusion there is no God,” said Pope Francis, a man who has become known for his unorthodox views on the Catholic church. “I have dedicated my life to the church. Clearly, so many wasted years of unanswered prayers. I can no longer in good faith head the church anymore, as whatever spirit that had filled my heart is gone.”
A shocked crowd of onlookers became extremely quiet as the Pontiff continued, many of whom openly wept.
“I will stay on long enough for another Pope to be chosen, of course. I know many of you will be upset, but please be happy for me and my new life. I plan on spending my remaining years traveling, maybe finding a good woman and settling down. Hell, maybe even a good man. Who knows? It’s a new day, and I solemnly believe that everyone should choose to live their life the way they want. I wish you all the best and don’t let my decision stop you from believing in an imaginary God, if that’s what you want to do.”

”Pope Francis’ decision comes as no surprise to Vatican insiders, his hard-line stance on altar boy molestation, his generosity to the poor, and his blessing of gay marriage have made unpopular among priests of the church,” says Vatican reporter Francesco Rinaldi. “Some say the Pope was being blackmailed to step down by Church officials. Whatever the reason, most look forward to his departure so the Church can get back to business as usual – hating gays and bashing sinners.”

Islamist fundamentalist will continue to kill christians all over the world till we all become moslem because our christian leaders have failed to defend the CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST.They are only busy amazing wealth from the already poverty affected congregations and acquring properties which known successful international tycoons will not ise their hard earned profits to acquire.moslem leaders have over the years planned carefully to defend their faith and to established it in the face of the entire world.Islam has taken over 60% per average in all the known christian countries in the world except Vertican city and Australia.Even usa, britain ,france germany and co are all falling seriously.God bless the president of Australia and central african republic c.a.r for their courage to defend the CROSS OF MASTER JESUS.IT IS NEVER TOO LATE, LET CHRISTAIN leaders come together and commit themselves to defend the CROSS and stop mansions as churches,for soon they will all be turned to mosques forcefully.they should stop building individual churches as businesses. We are all at risk as christians including the pope. Assuming Christ wants to visit a purely a christian country before the endtime, where will He go.He died shamefully on the Cross for us and the leaders arr using the cross to make money but have failed to defend the OLD RUGGED CROSS.

I wonder where the pope was when America packed their cluster bombs to Iraq to kill innocent Moslems. can you count the number of Moslems killed by America in their home soil. did you see anything wrong with that. Libya was a peaceful country and everyone goes there including westerners for good. As a result of America interest to kill Moslems, look at Libya today, the country is in chaos. did you see that Mr. pope?
This world will not be in peace until everyone understands that America is the number one terrorist country in the world.

Intellectual dishonesty! I am happy Usman did not quote the Holy Quran to support the hadith he extensively referred to. However, it is certain that what we are witnessing today about Boko Haram, IS, Al Shabab etc and the killings going on is as a result of the failure of world leaders to be just in this world. The Catholic Church collaborated with the Nazis to exterminate the Jews, The USA has provided the ammunition to Israel to wipe out Palestine, systematic agenda is put in place to plunge peaceful Islamic Nations into anarchy by arming rebels who have no direction and fuelled by ethnicity, what else do you expect? We Muslims in this world do not subscribe to what these criminal groups are doing but will not sit unconcerned when those who have nurtured the terrorist groups turn round and decide to violently confront the peace loving Muslims of the world. In justice anywhere in the World is a threat to peace anywhere. We cannot divide the World and expect it to stand.

The solution lies in the pope declaring another crusade to bring peace for the next 500 years. Pope Urban knew the cure Islamic savagery was war and he declared it even though he had not biblical basis to wage war. Today, we are proud of him. Without his intervention, christianity would have been wiped out and we would all have been muslims killing one another for belonging to the wrong islamic sect.
