Pope Francis is an evil man. He is not a man of God. He is not a Catholic.

[ground_fog]

I’m Catholic..been Catholic all my life..but this jackass makes me not want to go to church or give money to the church

[Robert DeLong]

Shocker? Not at all, the reverse would be a shocker.

[T-Bone Texan]

Pope Che does the bidding of the global elites, who essentially worship Satan.

Does he worship Satan too?

Because it sure looks like he serves evil, from his acts.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He really is Pope Chè!

[lacrew]

I’m speechless.

[Mr. Mojo]

So basically, Matthew advocated jihad, communism should be the world's economic system, guns should be banned, and the Western world should open its doors wide open to Muslims.

One can only imagine what's next.

[Lent]

Good grief. Is he the harlot? A Pope who thinks Christianity and Islam share a commonality in God and practice? Where’s the hook for this guy?

[McCarthysGhost]

This is one confused dude.

[bunkerhill7]

Pope On a Dope

[rigelkentaurus]

This pope couldn’t be more confused, even if he tried. Maybe he is a trans-pope? You know, a confused, mentally ill pope.

[IronJack]

Will no one rid us of this troublesome priest?

[Popman]

As a Protestant, I have been told by a few Roman Catholic on this forum, I am damned to hell because I don't belong to the one true Roman Catholic Church...

The same Catholic Church who decided to promote an avowed Marxist to lead and function as the head of the "one true church"

I don't expect an apology...

[supremedoctrine]

Like I said when Pope Francis first started being quoted: “This is Obama’s Pope!!”

"Withdraw from Christendom the Bible, the Church with its sacraments and ministry, and Christian morality and hopes, and aspirations for time and eternity; repeal all the laws that are founded in the Christian Scriptures; remove the Christian humanities in the form of hospitals and asylums, and reformatories and institutions of mercy utterly unknown to unchristian countries; destroy the literature, the culture, the institutions of learning, the art, the refinement, the place of woman in her home and in society, which owe their origin and power to Christianity; blot out all faith in Divine Providence, love, and righteousness; turn back every believer in Christ to his former state; remove all thought or hope of the forgiveness of sins by a just but gracious God; erase the name of Christ from every register it sanctifies—in a word annihilate all the legitimate and logical effects of Christianity in Christendom—just accomplish in fact what multitudes of gifted and learned minds are wishing and trying to accomplish by their science, philosophy, and criticism, and what multitudes of the common people desire and seek, and not only would all progress toward and unto perfection cease, but not one of the shining lights of infidelity would shine much longer. Yes, the bitterest enemies of this holy and blessed religion, owe their ability to be enemies to its sacred revelations - to the inspiration and sublimity of that faith which reflects its glories on their hostile natures. They live in the strength of that which they would destroy. They are raised to their seats of opportunity and power by the grace of Him they would crucify afresh; and is it to be thought that they are stronger than that which gives them strength? Can it be supposed that a religion which civilizes and subdues, and elevates and blesses will succumb to the enmities it may arouse and quicken in its onward march? Are we to tremble for the ark of God when God is its upholder, and protector, and preserver?” - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, Ohio State Legislator and A.M.E. Bishop, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio, Centennial (of the Declaration of Independence) Thanksgiving Sermon, November 1876. Arnett's "Sermon" is available in the "Library of Congress - Historical Collections" - "African-American Pamphlets from the Daniel A. P. Murray Collection," 1820-1920; American Memory, Washington, DC.

Time for the papal version to be created....

[RightGeek]

Franky has been into the sacramental wine again.

[RitaOK]

Bingo. Definitely not Catholic.

Personally, experiencing the loss of two friends from the Church over this odd ball found tramping around the faith and the halls of the Vatican.

So, we have a little apostasy going on and it’s laid at his feet, at least as the catalyst.

It is heartbreaking, but Christians are so soft today particularly in the West. When things get hard and pose much of a challenge, it is made easy here to bolt.

The good news is that it is cause for the old timers, including many younger families who are exposed to it all, appreciate the pre-Vatican II days of the Traditional Catholic Church, the old Latin Mass and the flourish of vocations to the priesthood and the beauty of the old churches, the Communion rail, the piety of the old Mass and the beautiful prayers, and frankly, the dispatch of the women from the sacristy and the Altar, into the pews and into their homes to properly catechize their children in the daily practice of the Faith.

Who knows what marvelous works God shall will, in the midst of the obvious dilution and dissolution and confusion seemingly befalling the Church and the sorrowing faithful, now.

[karnage]

This Pope inspires me to pray... for his conversion to Catholicism.

[Reno89519]

As a Catholic, I am appalled by this pope. The sooner he is gone, the better for the church.

[Fantasywriter]

I am an evangelical, and rarely post on religious topics. The following question may be inappropriate, so please feel free to ignore it.

To wit, if the cardinals didn’t want a very liberal Pope, why did they elect a South American Jesuit?
