Pope Francis: Killing ‘in the Name of God is Satanic’

So good of him to finally acknowledge the obvious, but he still needs to put two and two together. NBC:

ROME — Pope Frances urged religious leaders on Wednesday to tell their followers that any killing carried out in the name of God is “satanic.”

The pontiff made the remarks during a Mass honoring Jacques Hamel, an 85-year-old priest murdered by ISIS-supporting teenagers who stormed his church in northern France in July.

“Killing in the name of God is satanic,” the pope told the ceremony in the Vatican’s Domus Santa Marthae chapel. “I would like it if all religions said this, ‘To kill in the name of God is satanic.'”

Every single religion would undoubtedly do so … except one.
