Francis should quit his job and become editor of the Guardian.
He has the perfect message for a secular world...God is okay with you sinning..God doesn’t mind your sinfulness.He understands you may not be able to follow His teachings.....No wonder the world loves him and not God...
Never in my life would I have thought the Catholic Pope would be a standard bearer for Liberal/Progressive ideology. Never.
It’s not “hate”.
It is great disappointment that liberation theology has infiltrated the Vatican.
The Church has survived worse tribulations, notably the 1500’s.
Great prayer and a return to the faith is the only solution.
“almost ostentatious modesty and humility”
The left loves him because he’s not Catholic, and is a marxist. Oh, and because he kissed muzzy feet.
He is not humble. I thought he was. I was mistaken.
We don’t hate him. We want him to resign like he forced Benedict to do.
A more appropriate title would have been:
Bergoglio's War against God and His Church.
What’s not to love? A pope who appeases communists who want to eliminate religion. A pope who appeases muslim jihadists while turning his back on middle eastern Christians suffering genocide. A pope who has swallowed the climate change mantra instead of the liturgy. It’s like we elected a president who hates America and apologizes for her around the world!... oh, wait...
He never says anything nice about faithful Catholics, either laypeople or clerics. Only Catholics who are in irregular situations and non-Catholics ever get anything positive from him.
“Those who hate him most are not atheists, or protestants, or Muslims, but some of his own followers.”
Catholics are not “followers” of the Papacy; they are followers of Christ.
Inasmuch as he supports and defends the Catholic Faith given us by Christ, he is more or less respected by faithful Catholics.
My sister, who lives in highly Catholic WNY, says that all the Catholics she knows there just LOVE Francis.
And THAT is just another reason the Catholic church is in the trouble it’s in.
