He’s the Pope...but one who wants his own No Borders, Universal Christian Church, not the Roman Catholic Church.

Reminds me of the Europeans who won’t have kids.

Lord, sent us a pope and faithful priests.

If anyone was unsure about why the Faith is collapsing in Latin America, consider that it has had leaders like this one for decades.

“He’s the Pope.”

It is my belief that he is not the pope.

If you're insured for cerebral aneurysm, try deciphering his weaponized ambiguity.

Honestly, I really do feel my blood pressure rising every time I hear his blathering.

Reminds of that famous medieval figure Inigo Montoya..... Who as well would approach the Pope often with his words......

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

True, he is not acting in the manner we have seen previous, more traditional Popes act.

But the College elected him so he is the Pope.

Can they impeach him?

Is there a Cardinal willing to stand up and confront him?

I have read my church and Diocese statement regarding evangelization. It is for the fallen away Catholics. Check out your local one. At this point in time all we can do is be a witness and hasten the Judgement of the Lord and of course pray.

“But the College elected him so he is the Pope.”

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the pope required to be a Christian? And can an excommunicate legitimately occupy the papacy?

Frankie the commie has quite clearly excommunicated himself, and I don’t believe that he is eligible.

Your argument, although I agree with your sentiment, is like saying that Obama wasn’t the President because he was born in Kenya thus not a citizen. He was elected thus he was President. Ditto for the Pope.

“He was elected thus he was President.”

I don’t care how many fake votes the dims gen up, if you’re not eligible to be president, you are not the president.

"Therefore, the true opinion is the fifth, according to which the Pope who is manifestly a heretic ceases by himself to be Pope and head, in the same way as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church; and for this reason he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the opinion of all the ancient Fathers, who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction."

-Saint Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church

Well. There you go. The chair is empty.
