When God is angry with us, when he wants to punish us, he sends incompetent and lousey priests. This Pope is the 112th Pope of the Malachy Prophecies.
If you don't know what that means, I strongly suggest reading the entire article.
Does he still believe Christ is the only way to salvation, or is that too old fashioned?
Pray America is Waking
“Who am I to judge?”
Uh.....the Pope??
The media is focusing on only a small part of his document. It is mostly about evangelization.
May there is one page on economics.
Did you read the entire document?
I wish this Pope would focus on his own profession and refrain from commenting on economics....a subject he knows nothing about.
Coming from Argentina you would think he would know how precisely how excessive taxation and spending can bankrupt government.
If the Pope is into “wealth distribution,” he should practice what he preaches.
Auction off the Vatican art treasures in London and New York and give the money to the poor around the world.
Same with the Catholic bishops in America. They want amnesty? EBT cards and/or welfare for Mexican illegals in the U.S.? Then help cover the economic cost by paying real estate taxes on church properties in the U.S.
Maybe we should redistribute the wealth from wealthy black Muslims back to poor Christian whites.
Don’t forget this Peter the Roman Pope also has access to the order of Albino Assassin Monks as well as the supercomputer underneath the Vatican with all the Protestant names and locations. So he could be the most dangerous Peter the Roman Pope ever.
It’s the only thing that makes sense.

The author is whacko. I can’t read past the third word in this article.
“coronation???”
A Pope is installed at a Mass. There is no coronation to it.
BTW, do you remember how everyone dissed Pope Benedict’s encyclicals when they first came out? Same thing here.
Did you join their crowd?
And this latest supposedly Marxist or socialist screed is the victim of a bad translation. What he actually said was that free market economics alone will not save anybody. That's straight out of the Catechism.
Father Z's blog explains how the Spanish was mis-translated. You know Fr. Z is a straight-up traditional priest, and he has had his moments of worry about Pope Francis. But not only have mistranslations and omissions come to light, Pope Francis himself has clarified and contradicted where it seems necessary.
We have to be careful not to run with what the media is saying about this pope. They desperately want him to be what you fear him to be. So you probably have a somewhat misleading impression of him here.
I don't much care for Jesuits generally*, and of course Latin America is full of liberation-theology types. But given Pope Francis' track record I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. And my due obedience.
*I was told long ago that the best way to tell the Good Jesuits from the Other Kind is to look at their shoes. A Good Jesuit will have beat-up, down at heels, grungy old shoes, because he's serious about his vow of Poverty. And Pope Francis is not going to change that - nor is he going to change his gregarious nature by isolating himself in the Papal Apartments.
In a few posts you will read “his words were taken out of context”.
Everyday it seems the man says strange things
since there is no 112 this one must surely be the anti...
Don’t forget the tiger blood and Adonis DNA.
that does it. I am done with this “pope”
Nature will take care of the third world poor. One bad growing season will sort things out.
“Francis has once again caused an uproar by claiming free market capitalism and trickle-down economics are unproven theories not backed with facts.”
Which is why he’s in the religion game and not the economics game.
God has a timeline that is a mystery to us. In the West, we bemoan how our culture has drifted away from Christ. But, at the same time, there has been an incredible awakening in Africa and Asia as millions have braved real persecution to follow Christ. On the whole, is the world drifting away or moving towards Jesus?
In Revelation, Daniel, and Matthew, we learn about God’s ultimate plan for humanity. Whatever this pope is, he is just another human.
In the US and Europe, we need to find our way back to Christ and the cross—not to save the world from God’s wrath, but to prepare ourselves to be a part of his plan by being one of his when the time comes.
Haha!
you can’t hide, Dan Brown, I know that’s you!
Many of the Chinese people I know say the same thing about Mao Zedong...
