Pope Spits At Faithful Catholics Again

It was just last week I wrote something similar.  These diatribes are occurring with disquieting frequency.  Yesterday's occurred during Mass, when again the Pope decried the "rigid": that is, those who abide by all the Church's teachings.  Have you ever noticed how many times he assails us, yet utters not one peep about those who play loosey-goosey with the teachings of Jesus Christ regarding faith and morals?  Is all this "rigid is bad" talk part of a strategy to get us to swallow Amoralis Lamentia?

Three days earlier, we heard from him again about Jesus's "tenderness" versus our "rigidity".  I could be wrong, but I don't recall ever hearing about any saint going on so much about Jesus's "tenderness".  I also fail to see how Jesus views our sins with tenderness.  Our Lord hates sin for the dishonor it entails and for the harm it does to sinners.  All this "tenderness" yammer makes Our Lord sounds like an effeminate sentimental squish.  It's almost blasphemous.

These are just the latest instances of him setting up false dichotomies between "rigidity" and "meekness/tenderness".  What I find particularly despicable is him accusing young Catholics of being "rigid".  Let's face it; the young are dealing with a world that is literally hell-bent on dragging them from the One True Faith.  They need to be strong, to be strident, to be the Church Militant.  The operative word is "militant".  Our Lord did not establish the Roman Catholic Church to be:

• church mellow
• church mediocre
• church meely-mouth
• church milque-toast
• church mushy

Why on earth is the pope joining the mob who seek to undermine the very salvation of our young people?  In fact, he's doing that to all faithful Catholics and those who need a strong Church that does stand firmly, even rigidly, against the sinful snares and wiles of this sin-sick world.

Pray for his conversion.

Better yet, pray he STEPS DOWN.

Yeh Pops Frankie is no Pope John Paul II. He’s just another South American leftist hack poking his sanctified nose into matters that don’t benefit the cause for Christianity.

The “Spitting Popster,” how appropriate for a leftist nutcase.

Pope Francis has not a clue about Christianity, the Catechism, Catholic doctrine or how to be the leader of the Church. He is not terribly bright or well-spoken. In fact, he does not even speak English. He makes clear to me that he despises capitalism and Americans. I hope, for the sake of the Church, that his reign ends soon. We need a pope with John Paul’s vision and purpose and Benedict’s intellect. I really do not like this pope.

I have come to that same hard reality myself.

He’s a marxist. Nothing matters to him except taking money from those who earn it and giving it to those who whine and lob around.

Thank you. Christ was Ridged in his Love for his Father. His Tenderness for man will never be surpassed, He died with all our sins so we may start anew, in his name.

Ebb Tide,

Your posting of the interview with George Neumayr yesterday, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3550829/posts,
expands today’s post most eloquently:

Bergoglio is a fraud and worse. It is a very trying time. He angers me greatly. I pray for composure and strength.

[Digger]

No good Pope but a good bar bouncer.

[Salvation]

Bad manners.
