Pope Francis used his New Year's message on Saturday to issue a clarion call for an end to violence against women, saying it was insulting to God.

Francis, 85, celebrated a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on the day the Roman Catholic Church marks both the solemnity of Holy Mary Mother of God as well as its annual World Day of Peace.

Francis wove his New Year's homily around the themes of motherhood and women - saying it was they who kept together the threads of life - and used it to make one of his strongest calls yet for an end to violence against them. During an Italian television programme last month, Francis told a woman who had been beaten by her ex-husband that men who commit violence against women engage in something that is "almost satanic".

You are a good man. You found your path. Now, you can help others see their own paths. Telling this is wrong or that's wrong, not enough.

God is there for everybody

Great message respected sir.

Is the Catholic Church finally catching up?

Always looks miserable this bloke. Like someone just kicked his arse and took a dump in his lunchbox.

Didn't he drown thousands of them because they pissed him off 🤔, bit hypocritical

Abusing children doesn’t it?

Reconcile that to this? One does not need to be told that violence against women (and children) insults a God is immoral. And violence against men? This just hits the wrong note entirely.

Dear Pope what about the children who they abused by our church leaders and and the Priests almost 2milion molested kids in Italy alone, Are they OK now every thing is good?.

Amen 🙏

Funny Pontifex is silent on the wanton genocide against Christians in Nigeria, while screaming his head off for other religions

Seu Tapa… VIOLENCE INSULTS GOD. PERIOD.

What about against children

What is Pope Francis doing to stop this violence?

Not what the Bible says though

All of these silly folks worshipping this man. False profit... Go Straight To Jesus People! He is waiting!

Puts Pope on my shoulders!

(2) But the Pope doesn't wanna talk about molestation since his cronies do alot of child trafficking. He must also be on the radical feminists' payrolll since he refuses to talk about the majority of violence that is committed by women.

False prophets also anger God.

But molesting children is still ok? Guess God does work in mistorious ways

(1) Women commit AT LEAST 50% of DV which is under reported. They do 60% of physical child abuse and 90% of psychologival/emotional child abuse by withholding children from dad for $$ or psychotic vindictive reasons. And their new BF / STEPDAD does 90% of molestation....

What about violence against men?

Screw God, think of the women..

Haha tell that to all the women the church burnt and claimed to be witch’s…. fOH

Just ask for forgiveness and you'll be okay in Gawd's eye. 🙄

The misogynistic Roman Catholic Church and Vatican are paragons of violence, discremination, oppression, and prejudice against women.

Violence against women children and violence against men must stop in the whole world, it angers god ,we are seeing gods anger unfold on humanity.

What a cost for pop?

¿NO SE MORDIO LA LENGUA? Yo Pregunto, Aclaro.

Violence against anyone !

Oops the LNP in Canberra...

Coming from him it's a bit rich!!

I actually like this one. I think he honestly tries to make the world better. Unfortunately the Catholic Church’s appalling history of corruption and violence is too much to ever atone for.

People who commit violence against women do not care about God

The problem with this is that many of his followers only refrain from violence because they fear consequences to themselves rather than believe it’s actually wrong.

Should violence against anyone be insulting? I guess victim classifications apply with God as well. Tell God I said hello. He hasn't spoken with me in a while.

And other violence cool?

So does violence against children, Catholic Church 😞 INDIGENOUS

🤣🤣 hypocrisy at it’s best when religion has been oppressing women since it was invented.

He says things to make himself feel better. It is what religion does. Insults are different than rape and other acts of violence against women. The idea and violence of his god is an insult to humans and other animals.

Does this mean an end to the barbarous practices of punishing women for exercising their human rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? How about admitting women to the priesthood? If not, this is only lip service.

What else has his god told him?

Amen your word…s …, mean.s: 😯口👄门大开…吃进去了… Your Holy SeE…? 看见了吧…!高兴了吗…? 祝你2022... 金口玉言🈶营养…

One would think violence against anyone would insult God.

So many vile creatures in this comment section 🤦‍♂️

It insults women first of all. Thats the problem with religion, it's always about god, never the fucking victim. Get a grip

CarlaRK3 What about violence against kids? I think God's ok with that.

Sexual Abuse against Kids SHOULD insult God, the Church, the Pope, anyone with a heart!!! Fix your own perverted Catholic Church house before you give an opinion on anything else! We still paying off families with donated money to stay quiet ?

X

Xxx

Insults God? How about angers? Hurts? Pains? Saddens?

Hopefully he mentioned that it also insults, uh, women.

Pope followers in India spreading secularism under constitutional idea of India ! 🥳🥳

So says the leader of a worldwide institution that has treated women as second-class citizens for the last two thousand years.

What about sexual abuse against kids?

I wish ALL could understand this...
