Pope Says Rage Against Gays Reminds Him of Hitler

Pope Francis said politicians who rage against homosexuals, gypsies and Jews remind him of Hitler, Reuters reports.

Said Francis: “It is not coincidental that at times there is a resurgence of symbols typical of Nazism. And I must confess to you that when I hear a speech by someone responsible for order or for a government, I think of speeches by Hitler in 1934, 1936.”

He added: “With the persecution of Jews, gypsies, and people with homosexual tendencies, today these actions are typical and represent ‘par excellence’ a culture of waste and hate. That is what was done in those days and today it is happening again.”
