Pope Francis called for national reconciliation in the United States on Wednesday, saying that while racism is intolerable, the street violence that has broken out is 'self-destructive and self-defeating'.

VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis called for national reconciliation in the United States on Wednesday, saying that while racism is intolerable, the street violence that has broken out is “self-destructive and self-defeating”.

He called the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American who died after a white policeman pinned his neck under a knee for nearly nine minutes, “tragic”.“My friends, we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life,” Francis said.

U.S. President Donald Trump came under fire from Christian leaders who criticised him for using religious symbols as a backdrop for staged photo opportunities.

Folks should look into why Floyd and Chauvin BOTH have IMDB pages...just like Greta, the supposed 'teenage savior' of the world! Satan's plan...create chaos...then, bring Order out of chaos. It's been working for those who don't have the Holy Ghost..to tell them, otherwise.

Thank you Pope Pontifex but in the meantime, can you say sth to CCP about racist happening in China to show ur genuine thoughts? DailyMail VaticanNews FoxNews CNN washingtonpost nypost dailycal MN_Newspapers KCTV5 nytimes LasVegasLocally

He obviously never read his book of Holy Baloney.

This is what you did to them. All the wealth vatican have came like this - erasing FirstNationPeople from their land. Why? Because they were not ready to believe in the SonOfGod (or were not white enough only pope knows this) God would never mate with humans. ISS_Research

i thought jesuits were and still arw anarchists in the shadows....someone should look into that.Trump schooled in one of there schools

In other words pope or Vatican have nothing to say..........no surprise there then.

Could you please add paedophile to you list, sir. The matter is quite pressing.

Close the church!! There is no god!!

When will pop condem violence on Palestinies/Kashmiris?

I would like to hear him condemn child molesters! How about that? Isn’t that a sin? This Pope seems to have an option on everything but that.

Stay in the Vatican.

Thanks for that your exaltedness. I’m sure the rioters are all pious catholic’s and will immediately desist at your instruction.

Pope? Never heard of her.

But condones raping children and nuns 👍👍

Sorry, the Pope system is way more less believable I thought. Why not refund to God and his prayers?

But you can allow young children to get raped by catholic priests? I’m sure color didn’t matter then.

Yeah. Thoughts and prayers.

Who's violence..? “: Pope urges U.S reconciliation, condemns racism and street violence

Does he know that American white Empire is built on Christianity? The white supremacists oppress and blacks while reciting the Bible!

😅😅😅 he is so full of bull shit😅

Did the pope forget to say anything about the looters?

Facebook, Snapchat join chorus of companies condemning George Floyd death, racismFacebook Inc and Snap Inc became the latest U.S. companies condemning racial inequality in the United States as violent protests flared up across major cities over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis last week. Someone stubbornly throws up a network of mounted video fakes where black kills white and vice versa. Police beat protesters for nothing and all that. And when I write them comments for them that they would first check the video before the repost, these bots was ban me Meanwhile Facebook is operating in a way that they know fosters radicalization, because it makes them money. Their protestations are hollow. Uh-Oh.... They better be careful or they may get on Trump's naughty list....
