Wow! Imagine that story... I was baptized by the Pope!
Love that Francis -— he sure knows how to pope.
Wow. Okay, I’m not a Catholic but I’m seriously impressed by this man taking the time to make a phone call HIMSELF instead of handing that off to a secretary...that’s really impressive and it’s also an act of humility befitting someone worthy of the shoes of the Fisherman.
How many of you haters took part in an abortion?
How many of you haters are on your 2nd or 3rd marriage?
I believe what the Holy Father did was beautiful. We get baptized IN the Holy Spirit.
I think Pope Francis is showing himself to not be as insular as his predecessor. I am not Catholic, but I am impressed by him, and his way to deal with people on an individual basis.
God bless him!
“How many of you haters took part in an abortion?

Wow...you show a lot of judgmentalism yourself!
As for the story, what a great pope!
PS: I’m a non-Catholic!
What about Frances if it's a girl???
“Wow! Imagine that story... I was baptized by the Pope!”
Yeah, no pressure growing up with that! :)
Nice work, Pontiff.
I think it’s a great story, and I wish more Protestant leaders would walk the walk like this guy.
I also think your so-called “Catholic haters” are mostly a figment of your imagination, and you probably need to realize that theological disagreements between Christians are allowed and don’t necessarily constitute “hate”.
“I can’t wait to see all the nasty remarks the Catholic Haters make about this story.”
I agree that was nice.
My wife is catholic and she and her family will not forget his remarks to gays. I think most catholics go by the Bible. It is clear about man with man. I was raised presbyterian and I have no use for gays. “Tolerance is the last thing to go in a society.” Aristotle mentioned that.
We have been told to be tolerant of this, that, and; you name it. I am tired. It is high time we take our nation back and our values back, and; should we refuse to allow these clowns to push their BS on us via tolerance. I am not tolerating Obama and pals nor anything they believe in.
.
BEAUTIFUL.
I have sorely neglected pinging, for many reasons. Lost track of a lot of articles I wanted to ping, too.
This one MUST get pinged later on.
So beautiful.
As a non-Catholic I agree, hats off to him.
Yep, I’m not really with him on governmental or economic issues, but he sure has a keen sensitivity on PR and the common touch.
Jesus did not tell Peter “you are the rock upon which I will build my Church” only to have that church become insular.
It has been one of my major problems with the Catholic Church. Pope Francis seems intent on fixing it.
“Jesus did not tell Peter you are the rock upon which I will build my Church...
You are correct.
He did say, “And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. “
Jesus is the rock! The chief cornerstone. Not Peter.
