Pope Calls Palestinian President an “Angel of Peace”

• This pope is out to lunch. Abbas would have no problem killing him or any other Catholic. Sheep snuggling up next to the wolf.

• The Pope actually said something rather different.

  "And at the time of the exchange of gifts, in giving Abbas a medal of the pontificate imprinted with the figure of the angel of peace, the Pope said, "it destroys the evil spirit of the war", "I thought of you - he added - that you may be an angel of peace. "

  Word order matters, folks.

  • I came here to say the same. The Weekly Standard has a piece about the intentional misquote. It looks like Fox News did it to criticize the Pope and the rest of the media seemed to do it to praise him. Whatever? Journalism is dead.

• Pope Che......Next I suppose the Pope will have the Vatican guard attack Israel.

  I wonder if Obama sent him a bunch of cash for the Cuba thing And this major league mistake?

  Angel of peace my arse.

  • I don't care how much the position is revered, I can't see the Vatican Guard following that order, or him being able to justify it. Not that I can't see him trying.

• He's obviously smoking what ever out nitwit leader is toking. I'm not surprised at his agenda since he was a social agitator in his home country. It seems for every intelligent comment he comes up with, he balances it with something as stupid as this. Maybe it's time to have two popes in retirement, because he's without a doubt too stressed to think clearly.

• Methinks the Pope is huffing too much incense.

• Angel of Death, more like it!

• He meant, "Angle of piece."
