“...Francis responded with a variation of his famous ‘Who am I to judge?’ “”

There, the anti-pope just telegraphed to you that he is not the pope. The purpose of the pope is to provide discretion to the Church to with and through Christ, to provide, guide and protect His flock. Without judgement how does a shepherd tell the difference between a wolf and a chicken?

If he suggests that he is below the level of judge in such cases, then he is totally unqualified to be pope. A non-Catholic cannot discern between a sacrament and a sin. So it is with Mr. Bergoglio, sadly.

Folks who are knowledgeable about the RC church tried to explain things to me, but I'm not convinced. Benedict is still Pope. It's not a job one can retire from. If these folks believe their own rhetoric, doesn't the Lord decide when a Pope's time on earth is done?

What's next? Providing love and understanding to the pervert Priests who've done so much perhaps irreversible damage to the Catholic Church and to so many lives?
