"The pope has transmogrified into the most modern of all creatures: a 21st century celebrity. Having spent the past two years taking selfies, delighting crowds with his antics and entertaining the media with his well-placed off the cuff quips, Francis is starting to look familiar. Think Sarah Palin, or Kevin Rudd...
"Has Francis really changed the church? If the pope moves on in two or three years, what will he have left behind?...I pray the Holy Spirit is moving."
She evidently thinks the Holy Spirit is whatever is blowin' in the wind...
Guess who doesn't love Pope Francis anymore?
Francis is the Catholic Church’s Obama IMO.
I don’t think she needs to be worried. I think that almost all world leadership are placeholders, preparing the way for the real leader to come, and then nobody will know what hit them.
Can't disagree with this statement.
Aww you’ve got the Love the Left don’t you?
God the Father is supposedly hateful and vengeful.
They think Jesus was a homosexual.
You’ve got to wonder what they think of the Holy Spirit. Tinkerbell?
What a depraved ideology...
Her first mistake is placing her faith in a man instead of God. Even a quick single reading of the bible teaches us the futility of this. Second, she wants to be “a progressive Catholic”. Sorry, lady, but most of the more significant “progressive “ changes we’ve heard advocated are directly in opposition to God’s instruction for us as understood by Christian faith. Suggest you carefully review what you want in light of the Higher Word. Most “progressives” think they know better then God, seeking to do what’s pleasing in their own sight instead. The Bible is very clear that this is unacceptable. God is the final authority, not us.
“She evidently thinks the Holy Spirit is whatever is blowin’ in the wind...”
I think she thinks she should dictate to the Holy Spirit how it should “move” things, and not the other way around.
Then you're twice an idiot.
I’m looking for a church whose god wants us all to have ice cream and cookies every day.
Seems to me she should just join a church that already shares her viewpoint instead of expecting the Catholic Church to come into line with her. Just like every other liberal, the world needs to change for them.
She evidently thinks the Holy Spirit is whatever is blowin’ in the wind...
that’s odd...just yesterday I posted a nearly identical sentiment in another thread...
and frankly, isn’t that what the vast majority currently populating the pews like to think as well? Involve some Vat II fanatic in a conversation about the wisdom of the Council, and within the first five words the Holy Spirit is invoked as guiding the path towards the light and happiness, as opposed to those oppressive,dark preconciliar days...
in all actuality, it’s Catholic feminists like this authorette that have driven the modern Church into theological impoverishment and ignominy, rendering it remarkably incapable of standing the rigors of the modern world it was so eager to invite...
Nonsense, he doesn’t look like Sarah at all...
The Catholics are already welcoming to all those people, just not their ungodly behaviors. But then this woman is not really a Catholic. If she believes sinful behavior is acceptable why not join any number of groups who seem to be happy with radical feminism, homosexual sex, and adultry. Oh that's right because her real goal is to destroy the Catholic church as it is now and rebuild it in her image. This is likely how she communes with HER god.
