Yeah, I imagine being a rabid socialist does cause a bit of second guessing now and then.

“Fundamentalism is a sickness that is in all religions,” said the Pontiff. “We Catholics have some — and not some, many — who believe they possess the absolute truth and go ahead dirtying the other with calumny, with disinformation, and doing evil. They do evil. I say this because it is my Church.”

“Acknowledging that these crises of faith are something he’s experienced through all his life, “as a kid, as a religious, as a priest, as a bishop, and as pope,” Francis said that a Christian “who hasn’t doubts, who hasn’t had a crisis of faith, is a Christian who’s missing something… he’s a Christian who settles with a bit of worldliness and goes through life like this.” Pope Frankie

I think it was in the book “Good Bye Good Men” that we learned that seminarians in the 1960’s and 70s were required to have a “crisis of faith” before they could be ordained. Many good vocations were chased out of the seminaries because they refused to go along with this ridiculous sensitivity-training mind reform liberal requirement. But the homosexuals candidates were ushered in to the ranks of the priesthood, triggering the sex-with-teenage-altarboy scandal that has rocked the Church.

When are all of these tired liberal ideas going to die out? They seem to leap-frog generations.

If they're baptized, and being killed because their killers know their parents are Christians, they're martyrs beyond question.

Sorry, baptism does not a Christian make...

For a Pope to call them "martyrs," rather than "genocide victims," is significant. Martyrs go straight to heaven. Genocide victims, not necessarily.

They were identified as Christians...Doesn't mean they were all in the body of Christ...
