I have a dear friend who is a hardcore TRADITIONAL Catholic. His son is a priest.
He is HEARTSICK and tells me he’s convinced that the Vatican has been captured by the Marxists!
As I watch this Pope, I’m convinced he’s right!

My reason for being lukewarm: Francis. It’s ironic that America and the Catholic Church have that in common...just when it needed a great leader, it got a Marxist, divisive, America-hating fool instead.

Nah, you're both wrong...Francis is indeed a bit leaning toward socialism but that's where he's from. He will do NOTHING to affect Catholic doctrine based on his upbringing.There are Catholics from every country on Earth and some of them have different opinions than we do.....so be it, the Pope can come from anywhere and is, of course, the product of his environment.....all will be O.K.....pray for it.
