OK that is reasonable to say that as no-one is. I must admit the tone of the article makes it sound like the writer thinks of themselves as pretty close when he chooses to put the Pope alongside Luther and then alludes to his group as the continuing 2,000 year old Catholic Church, seemingly insinuating that any else is not including this Pope!

Popes are not perfect and not everything out of their mouths is infallible. Francis has said some things that are questionable to some and outright heresy to others.

That being said, he is allowed/bound to err in some things but the Holy Spirit protects him from error on faith and morals and what is binding on the faithful.

I believe him to be a good man who has made some strange statements. I don’t know if he is just misunderstood or isn’t aware of how he comes across.

There have been a couple of times he has had to come right out and restate Catholic teaching because his statements are confusing.

The best thing we can do is pray for him.
