biggirl: I have noticed today that there has been postings by non-Catholic Christians who question that the Pope is a believer in Christ just as much as they or we are. Even there was reps from a number of other Christian churches. I just do not understand the harsh postings. This should be a wonderful day for Christians, not just only those who are Christian Catholics.

I think we see the noisy micro-minority of non-Catholics who post such rot and mistakenly think they are the majority.

Most of our non-Catholic Christian brethren do not hold such views.

I am a Methodist Christian, and I am very encouraged by the selection of Francis I. As one living under an episcopal system myself, we sometimes wait for the other shoe to drop. But, you can generally tell from someone’s past where their interests lie. Francis’ interests appear to lie with outreach and authenticity, so I have some real hopes in that regard.

Plus also they do not represent most of those non-Catholic Christians whom I have noticed have been from those posts that I have seen being that they are very welcoming and supportive of the new Pope.

Brother Cronos,

I can’t say that I haven’t offended anyone in these threads. I did so mainly out of ignorance and how I approached the person. I’m not Catholic, but I’m pretty sure the Pope is Christian. :-)
