Report from a Rome in Deep Crisis: "Terror, Disgust, Espionage: Everybody Hates Francis."

Finally, a group of American priests, moderate and by no means traditionalist, commented to me the enormous uneasiness caused in California by the cardinalatial appointment of the bishop of San Diego, a small and suffragan diocese, while the archbishop of Los Angeles, its metropolitan, is not. And the problem is not just who wears the purple; the problem is that Cardinal Robert McElroy is extremely progressive, too progressive even for his own folks.

They hate “Francis”?

Why? Just because he’s a demonic, malevolent presence in Rome? Jeez, sone people just can’t take an evil joke. /sarc

"Whether we like it or not, he is the Vicar of Christ."

Too bad, so sad.

The Church has a history of deposing Popes the old fashioned way. Poisoning, beheading, beat to death (by a jealous husband), starved to death . . .

Mayhaps it's time to sing "Give me that old time religion".

and Frankie thinks hes living during the Inquisition period ...

It’s simply untrue that “everyone” hates him. The gays and the geriatric Catholic left still seem to love the guy, as evidenced by the glowing “amen” articles and comment sections at America magazine and the NC Reporter. Though perhaps it’s more precise to say that they love his *agenda* rather than his thoroughly deplorable character and personality.

The Pope is at one with the POTUS. They are both corrupt, ignorant, paranoid, angry, and deeply hate filled.

My sister living inn heavily Catholic Western NY says most of the Catholics there love him.

Then again, look at Buffalo and its political landscape. Democrat and corrupt to the core for literally decades.

It was bad when I was a clueless teenager and didn’t care about politics but even I picked up on it then. It must have been far worse than I knew because I can remember it.

“...Whether we like it or not, he is the Vicar of Christ. ...”

__________

False base premise. Why read further?

[one guy in new jersey]

Au contraire!

Interregnum.

[irishjuggler]

There’s a small but powerful cohort of folks who’ve lingered around the Catholic Church for a half century hoping that it would remake itself into Episcopal Church USA and finally “get with the times” on homosexuality, abortion, etc. That cohort freakin’ LOVES Bergoglio, as they think the Church is finally coming around to their way of thinking.

Francis is a MARXIST!!

[slapshot]

RCINC is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet CEO Frankie strategy is to maximize profit at the expense of doctrine. Ever wonder why RCINC cries poverty but is able to afford 700/hr. attorneys to smear victims of sexual abuse by RCINC employees (aka priests)?

[Vision]

The Pope is an Anti Christ.

[iontheball]

As Tucker Carlson asked on one of his recent shows where he reported on the U.S. and Canadian assault on religion, where are the priests and other religious leaders and why aren’t they speaking out against the state’s Gestapo assaults on religion? Is it because they agree with the state authorities assaulted and arresting a minister for taking a stand by protesting against a drag queen’s indoctrination of the children, or are most of them too intimidated or cowardly to deplore this demonic state action? When society loses its religious leaders, Lucifer is well on the road to victory.

I’ve paraphrased your comment in my tagline. Hope you don’t mind.
