Example, Pope Francis said: "The Eucharist is the bread of sinners, not the reward of saints." But where is the follow-up at? That's step 1, but steps 2 and 3 are lacking. Step 2: Jesus told the woman caught in the act of adultery He didn't condemn her, but He also said "Go and sin no more." He loved her and showed love but He didn't love what she was doing. Step 3: "Adultery is listed in 1 Cor. 6:9-10 with others and you need to confess mortal sins before you can receive the host. Why does he repeatedly, on many issues, not do both things that Jesus did which is love the one who sinned but confront them over it nonetheless?
Another Example: Pope Francis lowered the boom on the Traditional Latin Mass but there has been decades of clown masses, hip-hop and rock music playing during masses, scantily-clad women dancing during masses, priests dancing to music during masses, there are numerous videos online at Novus Ordo Watch and on YouTube elsewhere even in the last couple of years showing these types of masses continuing in various places, and yet Pope Francis in his actions fails to deal with these decisively.
Another example: where is the decisive action from Francis in dealing with German bishops by telling them to stop rebelling against the deposit of faith? Where is his lowering the boom on James Martin (or at least publicly expressing serious concern over the things Martin promotes) much less stating he would like a certain bishop to lower the boom on him as a certain bishop did with Father Altman?
Easy , He is the anti christ .
Because Pope Francis isn’t a Christian.
Another way for him to be clear and concise is to declare it would be impossible for any pope, like himself or even for Vatican II, to override Sacred Scripture and declare that one can go to heaven in opposition to John 3:3-7, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, etc. Obama said Jesus was A WAY to heaven, whereas Jesus said “I am the Way, Truth, Life, no one comes unto the Father but by me.”
I’ve got a recollection of him saying a few years back that he likes confusion.
He is an atheist communist activist.
Ultimately, the answer to any question that starts “Why does ‘Pope Francis’ ...?” is “Because he serves a different master.”
Yes, the problem with Francis is everytime he writes something, his intent is so unclear that when some think he’s trying to do away with established moral teaching, a church spokesperson has to come out to tell us that no, that’s not what he meant.
He often confuses rather than clarifies.
That would be rigid.
There’s a very simple answer to your questions... Bergoglio has not come to teach the Catholic faith but rather to destroy it.
He does it so often, yet is very clear on “environmental” issues and others, that is seems as if he likes sin.
Because he’s an Alinsky loving marxist!
When it comes to demonstrating mental competence, Francis makes Biden look bad.
In the same way, Biden makes it so that Ted Kennedy appears relatively chaste.
However, as a poster said when I first made such an observation, “THat isn’t setting the bar low, that is digging a ditch in which to bury the bar”
LOL. He’s rigid against Sacred Scripture and Tradition, rigid with Traditionalists, etc, but is nonetheless collegial with Martin types, heretical German bishops, and every mass under the sun except the TLM.
Because he is Biden’s older brother.
Please stop the antichrist crap.
I do my best to respect him, but I’m afraid he is cut from the same cloth as Obama...ultimately, it is Satan and his demons we fight...not men.
And who is the author of confusion? Yeah, that’s who.
Because he is the Vatican’s version of Joe Biden.
He can’t be the anti-Christ. Lucifer’s spawn will be a charismatic figure, not a doddering old Marxist papal imposter.
