What lunguage is he speaking in?

Very true. Ups and downs are common not only in individual life. It can be in an Organisation Country Universe It is better we accept, problems can disappear. Its just state of mind

The Vatican are temples of the economy, where The Holy Spirit lives not.

Sounds like something rich people would say

ellievhall The fake Christians in America gave up on this Pope a long time ago. Resist

Hey Pontifex , how about all those innocent young boys ?

unfortunately popes don’t decide how viruses react

🙏❤️

:))

If he didn't speak about Black lives mattering then I dont care. BlackLivesMatter

The Catholic church owns billions, just saying

Souls from God who accepts Christ as their savour, won't die regardless of their physical body.

The economy makes healthcare & healthcare workers' salaries possible when prayers & the Holy spirit just aren't saving enough lives.

Guy covering up the biggest pedo ring in history wants us to listen to him....

The pope's cup z always full. Economic state seems far from his ideology, If he were sometimes to starve or lack n address, I bet I would grasp wat he means by 'we people r temples of holy spirit n d economy z not.

Hes a false prophet. Demon who wants to control all. Hes the white pope good puppet, theres a black pope that carry out the dirty work.

Trump too? Temple of Holy Spirit? After all that sexual activity he boasted on live TV? Modern day St. Augustine? Temple of Holy Spirit why not? Bro. Franklin Graham?

THE POPE HAS FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS IN BIG PHARMA TO PROTECT AND PROBABLE LINKS TO THE SAME ELITE WHO OWN REUTERS.

Éste personaje es un cínico🤢🤮

'The economy' is the reason civilized society can function and feed itself. Catholics, close your wallets until this cross dressing Marxist in the funny hat is no longer pope.

The pope is the leader of the biggest pedophile ring.

Holy Cow!

Another bought and paid for puppet..god is coming for you..

Irrelevant now. We have shifted to mob mentality

WE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF BEING BOKE WHILE OTHERS SIT ON $. THERE IS NO WATER FOR COUNTRIES AND YOU WEAR A CLEAN WHITE OUTFIT. KEEP TAKING MONEY - I WILL GO HEAL AND FIX THE PROBLEMS YOU ATE FISH ON TOP OF. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE FOR ALL - I AM JESUS CHRIST - TIME IS AT HAND.

Ridiculous coming from someone who lives in the most opulent surroundings on Earth and who’s lifestyle and fanciness will not suffer from loss of livlihood, unemployment, and economic loss. The essence of uncaring, out-of-touch hypocrisy. Very disappointing.

I rarely agree with the Pope but this is correct

Well said, Pope Francis. Once can assume, then, that you will set the example and distribute the Vatican's wealth to the people you speak of . . .

Pontifex so you want many of the world’s impoverished to die while the world’s economy is completely shutdown? WuhanVirus

Unless he's planning to create some loaves and fish out of thin air people actually need an economy to fund electricity, food, water, healthcare and so on. Facile twat

- Pontifex The wealth of the Holy See /Vatican empire is the wealth of people who have been duped in name of religion. It's also the wealth of the countries that were destroyed and plundered by your genocidal militaries. Give back to those from whom the Vatican empire has looted

We people cannot survive if the economy fails.

You can't drink the Holy Spirit - you need an economy to produce something that will quench your thirst and taste nice.

No stress Mr Pope.. I got you.

🙏🙏🙏

That's nice and all, but what is he doing about the pedo priests in his church?

BLACK_LIVES_MATTERS BlackLivesMatter GeorgeFloydWasMurdered GeorgeFloydProtests GeorgeFloyd

The Economy is people.

What he means is please open the churches as the tax free cash is drying up.

This mans's ties to Marxism is not news! Without a strong economy even more lives will be lost.

Makes me feel less troubled on whether deciding to stop going to church was the right thing to do ...

Does the POPE put people above the Church? Never ever! What it makes different if people die from hunger or from a disease! But a steady economy can give us a better medical care to combat virus. The God of Church didn't help us with coronavirus, let us to help ourselves.

Conceptually, yes. However, in reality the two are so intertwined that without a healthy economy, the people are living in the streets and dying from hunger and exposure.

People are the economy.

really? if the pope would be serious he would spend the billions of church dollars to help people in need

ResignNowTrump

What does he know about people and their lives - nothing ! Absolutely nothing !

premierleague England

Easy for the pope to say, however, without an economy the people will die!

Easy words from a man who doesn't even tie his own shoelaces.

You can’t put a price on a human life. But that life might be living a cardboard box soon.

Not in tyrannical mode of economy that the world is prevailing along with .Profit motive is the above all aspect of human need that is being hold by few top most wealthy greedy elites

Any day. Life has more value than any thing under the sun.

At some juncture, you can't separate the two.

What a fool the economy is what supports people

Chico sabe das coisas

Yes definitely people more important than the money because if people exist they can make money for him. If they not, also not money.

The Pope doesn't have to worry about the economy. He powders his ass with gold dust.

Easy for him he is a salary worker

“Covid Crisis” aka scamdemic is over. We’re on to the race war portion. Try to keep up.....

Tie with CCP is more important than Chinese Christians.

Tell that to the teachers in Catholic schools being fired because tuitions are down. The church has tons of money but no true empathy or leadership.

Says the man who lives in a fortress full of gold, billions or even trillions in the bank. He's probably never worked a day in his life. You know nothing about it Pope. Or anything else.

What? People more important than money? That unpossible!

chinalosingTibet and Indian Army inside Panic situation in china as chinese media and spokeperson silent XHNews PDChina ChinaDaily SpokespersonCHN ChinHuaLu POTUS IvankaTrump FLOTUS USArmy USATODAY

It only took him 3-months to figure that out

People and the economy are not mutually exclusive. This pope is a stooge.

So says the man at the front of the Vatican that makes around 30 million a week in ticket sales alone. All religions and religious freaks need sending to Pluto.

The worst POPE in history

Las amplias generalidades y lo vago de las afirmaciones de lo que dice el papa las convieten en inservibles como recomendaciones practicas

crazy to think that anyone thinks a non-loving entity such as “the economy” is more important than a living entity such as “people”. Man, I hate to say but I with God on this one? idk this timeline’s wild as hell

See what CCP did to your people

Oh that ANYONE must make this statement.

that's just cRaZy talk.

Yes so let’s dig into those Vatican vaults and send some support so people can quarantine longer.

Well why not open the church, let the people back to kiss his ring?

He should give sermons to his Italy government about kicking out Chinese from Italy, instead of preaching world.

There are few places on earth that like money more than the Vatican

He's sitting in his palace, he knows nothing.

This pope guy is a nut. Anything he says I do the opposite. childmolesters
