Not Happy: Pope Francis Decries ‘Wave of Populism' in Europe

[Breitbart] Stay in your lane, Francis
ROME — Europe is experiencing a crisis evidenced by a "wave of populism" that threatens European universality, Pope Francis warned Saturday.

In a message to participants in the European Alpbach Forum, an Austrian nonprofit foundation advocating a strong and democratic Europe, the pontiff said that Europe is "experiencing a time of crisis," a time "in which various populist movements are enjoying great popularity."

In Europe, "as a result of this ’wave’ of populism, some ideals have vanished and some principles, with regard to behavior towards the weaker members of society, have been sidelined," he added.

The pope was no doubt referring to the many conservative populist movements enjoying increased favor in European nations such as Italy, France, Poland, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and Hungary.

Francis has never attempted to disguise his contempt for right-leaning populism, and in 2019 famously said that citizens of European nations should put the good of Europe before that of their own countries.

#1 With all due respect, how about excommunicating some of those 'Catholic' supporters of butchering babies? Ever ask yourself why there's a wall around the Vatican?

#2 When he thuggishly mocked the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in front of journalists this Pope let the mask slip.

The man behind the "Ever so ’umble" facade is a man who is not very nice.

#5 "...Some ideals have vanished and some principles with regard to...the weaker members of society"--you mean like freedom of speech, of religion, and association? Those "ideals" you godless bastard?
