“I had to laugh when the MSM really thought “small minded rules’ meant abortion. As if life and death was a small issue.”
What’s sad is when the lib media makes this assumption, too many people actually believe that’s what the Pope said.
There’s nothing about abortion following the “small minded rules” and here it is:
“The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules. The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you. And the ministers of the church must be ministers of mercy above all. The confessor, for example, is always in danger of being either too much of a rigorist or too lax. Neither is merciful, because neither of them really takes responsibility for the person. The rigorist washes his hands so that he leaves it to the commandment. The loose minister washes his hands by simply saying, ‘This is not a sin’ or something like that. ..”

It appears to me that the lib news media didn’t misconstrue. I feel they downright lied.
BTTT!
Pelosi’s bishop is in San Francisco now. Cordileone — a good one. Heart of a lion is what his name means.
Chicago street gangs are Anglican?????
I'll give some of them a little leeway....some of them just don't get it....they truly don't understand (they aren't very smart)
“..(they aren’t very smart)”
Agreed, but I also think they try to deceive us.
Great News, thanks for posting.
I spoke about this to the local (rather conservative) talk show host. I had him rolling in the aisles. And completely agreeing with me, as I read the first, second last, and last stanzas of the poem.
