I'm for sure a fallen away Catholic....don't attend Mass as much as I should...practically not at all....I did receive my ashes on Ash Wednesday...something about the old quaint ways appeal to me...

having said that, I have tried to convince myself that the Pope was misquoted, that the translation wasn't correct, that his remarks are taken out of context...

but I think I caught all the innuendo, the putdowns, the dismissals of tradition, and all the wink-wink to the leftist crowd and they are all accurate....

I don't know if true Catholics can follow this Pope..

Francis seems like a kindly old man. I like him.

Don’t let this pope discourage you. The Catholic Church has had good and bad popes but it will always prevail against the Gates of Hell.

I encourage you to come home and I will keep you in my prayers.
