Texas Eagle, I am a practicing Catholic who knows exactly how you feel, but please do not stop going to church! Don't let this Bozo the Clown Pope drive you away. Do what I now do: I make all donations to the Catholic church specific donations to Catholic grade schools, which now get very little support from their parishes. If you write the check to “St. Ann School”, the parish happily will deposit it to the school's account. That way, none of your money is supporting nonsense such as the Campaign for Human Development (which isn't connected to Pope Francis, but advocates the same leftist principals.)

Don't leave the church; just stop writing checks to the church. Instead, write checks to Catholic schools.

And here I thought the Borgias were the worst popes. I think we have a new winner.

I know churches, not just Catholic, are getting a lot of money from the gov’t to assist refugees and illegal immigrants. I would not contribute to those charities.

That is great encouragement about not letting a man come between you and God. And good advice on how to contribute and make a statement at the same time.

Disappointed Catholics should ignore the man whose time as pope is limited, but continue believing and praying.

WHY do so many Catholics JUDGE this pope so severely?

[Psycho_Runner]

I Strongly disagree with your appeal to continue donating to the Catholic church, or school. If this Pope wants to preach poverty then let the church lead the way.

If the Pope is wrong about economics and science(man made global warming)then what is the possibility that he is wrong on spiritual matters? There, I said it, the cat is out of the bag.

I was born Catholic, but has since claim to be Christian, as I suspected the church did not follow the teachings of Christ. This Pope reaffirms the core belief of the Catholic Church.
