The Pope walks in Christ’s shoes. Usually they pick modest, humble and superlative people to be elected Popes.
Usually the Popes are so popular because they rarely step out to travel and when they do you have the head of the Catholic Church on earth visiting some of the 1.7 billion Catholics.
But Popes for decades now have made Cardinals from places where there is still child abuse by clergy and it is still a massive problem in Europe. There are major leftists Cardinals out there voting in the Pope.
This Pope exists because of:
#1 All of the progressive Cardinals that were made.
#2 The Church is dying and Francis being from Argentina can speak to the largest growth population in Catholicism which is Hispanics. Mind you the ethics of many of the peasants they are attracting are part Isis themselves.
Infallibility is related to religion, not politics.
When you get a peasant Pope who has no idea of how the growth of wealth can benefit charity and help others you get Francis with a capital F.
This Pope is turning off most all non-peasant Catholics with his non religion talk. I am Catholic, most all Catholics I talk to can’t wait for the NEXT POPE to be made.
Of course this one is making liberals orgasmic when a Pope is out there embracing the successful politics of socialist despite it being a huge failure in practice.
Mind you the socialists are Santa Clause government until they spend the Treasury and Tax Payer’s bank accounts. After that the socialist run countries are just packs of mobs still wanting all their stuff.
That is greed and selfishness without any productivity to do it for themselves and others. That is what this Pope with the capital F is pushing.
Francis is kind of like Obama in a Pope’s outfit IMO.
"The Church is dying and Francis being from Argentina can speak to the largest growth population in Catholicism which is Hispanics. Mind you the ethics of many of the peasants they are attracting are part Isis themselves."
Wow! That is definitely micro-aggression, if not racist. Ha! As for ISIS peasants being attracted to Catholicism, better that than their sick theology. I'd support anyone who converts from that murdering, raping, torturing, mutilating, misogynistic, imperialist, peodophile cult. Go Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. Live long and prosper. :)
Disclaimer in case you haven't read my posts: I'm an agnostic, but believe in Christian/Judeo values. Those values built the greatest nation on Earth that so many have emulated which change the face of this rock for the better.
Once I grew out of my young rebel days, I found that compassion, empathy, sympathy, ethics, integrity, honor were the foundation of a better human experience for all. I simply subscribe to age old, "Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You".
