As it turns out, you can\u2019t be a firearms manufacturer or investor and a Christian, at least according some politically charged comments made by Pope Francis Sunday.<\/p>\n
Pope Francis addressed the young people during a speech about war, trust, and politics, explaining that Christians can\u2019t claim to trust God with one hand, while building weapons with the other.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you trust only men you have lost,\u201d Pope Francis told the young people \u201cIt makes me think of\u2026 people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit of distrust, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Pope also touched on World War II and the failure of the world powers at the time, asking why they didn\u2019t destroy the railroads leading to the concentration camps.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe great powers had photographs of the railway routes that the trains took to the concentration camps, like Auschwitz, to kill the Jews, and also the Christians, and also the Roma, also the homosexuals,\u201d said Pope Francis. \u201cTell me, why didn\u2019t they bomb [those railroads]?\u201d<\/p>\n
Pope Francis did not reference any Scripture to back up his claims.<\/p>\n
