Benedict is still very much alive.
Before they evicted Benedict, they should have checked themself before they wrecked themself.
The real Pope *wouldn't* have lived forever.
They could have started this leftist, homosexuality who am I to judge, communion for everybody anti-Christian, anti-Catholic teachings crap AFTER Benedict passed.
They jumped the gun way too fast, and now Catholics are questioning their faith and wondering what the hell is going on.
I'm a cradle Catholic.
I admit there is a ton I disagree with regards to the faith
But I ALWAYS had reverence for the Pope.
No longer.
Francis seems to have "forgotten" basic Catholicism, elementary knowledge of the Bible,and worships at the altar of leftism.
Count me out on this guy.
He is more interested in Social Engineering than saving souls.
He has driven people away from the Church.
I agree with your points.
