Why do you form your beliefs about the Catholic Churchon secular sources when you don’t trust them on conservatism or Republicans?????

The first two sources, on that highly biased list you linked to, are secular sources: CBS News and Breitbart, respectively.

>>Pentin continues with an important critique about many Catholic media,<<

>>“Some Catholic news agencies chose the safer option during the synod of focusing only on “good news” out of an instinctive loyalty to the hierarchy and the papacy.That loyalty is admirable, but I think it also prevented really tackling the complaints of injustice at the synod. Unfortunately, this also meant that only one half of the debate received attention – the one held by the synod managers, which many believed was heretical.” <<

There should be a lot of members of Congress boycotting the speech.

I am one of those fundamentalist Catholics he criticizes.

I thought there was no such thing? I thought Catholicism and Fundamentalism were so antithetical to each other than Fundamentalist converts to Catholicism had to become evolutionists and higher critics? Oh, and very anti-apocalyptic.

He is the Pope that can make you feel Catholicism has big problems, at least while he is around.

Save your bullsh!t for someone who might be impressed by it. Every time that Marxist jerk (the pope) opens his mouth on some "social justice" issue it's like Marx, Castro, and Lenin resurrected. AND every time he does some jackass apologist comes out of the woodwork and says "oh no, that isn't what he really said" or "Oh no, that isn't what he really meant." or "It wasn't translated properly." etc. I think by now we really do know he's a hard core Marxist. Like I said go peddle your lies and whitewash to someone who might believe them.

This is so delicious! Two evolutionists arguing!

Excuse me while I get my popcorn!

I wish more members of Congress had this man’s integrity.

Media reports indicate His Holiness instead intends to focus the brunt of his speech on climate change

This will backfire. Many Catholics are becoming disgusted by his emphasis on the neo-pagan, socialist agenda. His cult of personality is shrinking fast. Attendance at papal audiences has noticeably declined.
