Pope Francis continues doing and saying wild and crazy things. No, he didn't meet with LGBT activists in South America again. This time he decided to point out some of the hypocrisy of "Christians" for whom Christian-like acts seem anathema.

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.
 [...]

"It makes me think of ... people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a [sic] distrust, doesn't it?" he said to applause.

He also criticized those who invest in weapons industries, saying "duplicity is the currency of today ... they say one thing and do another."

Yeah, it does lead to a bit of distrust, Pope Francis.
