Pope Francis in The Guardian (U.K.)

On Homeland Security: Weapons manufacturers are duplicitous; don't trust them

Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry. "If you trust only men you have lost," he said in a long commentary about war, trust and politics. "It makes me think of managers & businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit of 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."

On Foreign Policy: WWII Holocaust & Armenian genocide were both tragedies

"The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn't they bomb (the railway lines)?"

Discussing the first world war, he spoke of "the great tragedy of Armenia", but did not use the word "genocide". Francis sparked a diplomatic row in April, calling the massacre of up to 1.5 million Armenians 100 years ago "the first genocide of the 20th century", prompting Turkey to recall its ambassador to the Vatican.
