Pope Francis is heading to secular Sweden to mark the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, a remarkably bold gesture given his very own Jesuit religious order was founded to defend the faith against Martin Luther's "heretical" reforms five centuries ago.

Need to hit the beads about this.
Is Pope Francis insane??
he’s an anti pope and we’ve had them before.
Lol. You are correct, of course. I just never heard it put that way.
I will say a rosary JUST for that...er, I mean I will HIT THE BEADS for that one!
Since HIS FELLOW CARDINALS voted for Pope Francis, KNOWING HIM and KNOWING HIS plans, Pope Francis is doing exactly what HIS FELLOW CARDINALS knew he would.
He's no "surprise" pope.
If you dislike him SO much, DON'T blame him because he couldn't elect himself. HIS FELLOW CARDINALS elected him so blame THEM.

You have proof they knew?
Why shouldn't he go there? They have deelicious Swedish Kringles. Yummers.
Their Swedish meatballs are wonderful too.
I bet he speaks some Swedish as well.
Knowing the Swedes, he will be cordially met with wonderful hospitality.
No outdoor picnics, though. Winter begins there at the end of July sometimes.
From Google:
Argentina, which was a Spanish colony as part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, lost its relation with the Holy See during the Argentine War of Independence. Both countries reestablished diplomatic relations on 17 April 1840, during the administration of Juan Manuel de Rosas. Argentina has an embassy to the Holy See, and the Holy See has an embassy in Buenos Aires.
What bishops do in their Sees is public information.
Boy, you sure know DARN little about how the Catholic Church works.
The hierarchy works like this:
A. priest
B. bishop
All bishops are still priests.
All popes are still bishops.
The Pope is the bishop of Rome.
From Google: The pope (Latin: papa from Greek: πάππας pappas, a child's word for "father") is the Bishop of Rome and, therefore, the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church.

Any more questions?
We don’t have a pope anyway
St. Robert Bellarmine, “On the Roman Pontiff”
“If God permitted a pope to be notoriously heretical and contumacious, he would then cease to be pope, and the Apostolic Chair would be vacant.”
Continue to hate the Pope. He WAS elected by his fellow cardinals. So, I guess you will simply IGNORE that small FACT. Hatred IS a tool of Satan.
So, list all the occasions where he was stubbornly or willfully disobedient to authority so we can ALL see when he was "notoriously heretical and contumacious." That IS the definition of those words.
ipso facto on the pope AND the cardinals who support heresy and error.
You seem OVERLY fixated on this Pope. The Catholic Church WILL survive EVEN without your approval of this Pope.
You really need a life.
You really need to open your eyes to what is going on! He’s a false pope. I came to this church to get away from the nonsense of protestantism and this joker is embracing it? He’s almost a worse heretic than Luther.
He is Petrus Romanus and by the time you realize that it will be too late.
Don’t tell me to get a life get your head out of your a**.
