TURIN, Italy, June 21 (Reuters) - People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry at a rally of thousands of young people at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
"If you trust only men you have lost," he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.
"It makes me think of ... people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn't it?" he said to applause.
He also criticised those who invest in weapons industries, saying "duplicity is the currency of today ... they say one thing and do another."

In addition to the Swiss Guard, the Vatican also has a 130-member corps of gendarmes who are responsible for order and security
The Gendarmerie is equipped with the Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol in 9 mm Parabellum as the standard issue weapon.
They also have more powerful weapons, such as the Beretta M12 and the Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun, a weapon also used by the Italian police. Against possible riots, they are supplied with batons, pepper sprays and tear gas.
For the elite-unit Rapid Intervention Group (GIR), members are equipped with the Carbon 15 carbine and Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6 shotguns.

This pope just released an ecclesiatical(sp) that humans are responsable for global warming and they further need to stop burning fossil fuels/internal combustion engine. (Popemobile electric?) I wqant to take all my scientific advice on a man in a funny hat that doesn't believe in evolution. Render unto Ceasar,that which is Ceasar"s. The Pope is Infalliable in matters of Salvation but the other stuff,not so much.
Rush Limbaugh points that during the Nazi Holocaust the Vatican advocated that the Allies bomb and destroy the trains and raillines that carried the prisoners to the camps.

Well Money i'm against all 3 too. g@y people have made themselves into a race in this country
No way, I'm calling B.S.
No way is there a gun hating liberal nutjob that's NOT pro-choice, or for g@y rights......
Now, to the contrary,
No way is there a die-hard right-winger that you'll have to take the gun out of his/her cold, dead hand, but he/she is O.K. with abortion, or g@y marriage......
So, who do you vote for in 2016? Hillary Bush? Ted Clinton? Do you also run from and hate white cops, yet you fly the Confederate flag? Are you, in fact, Rachel Dolezal? Because that would explain a lot.....
You sir/madam are a liar, and I'm calling you out as such.....
