Unfortunately, one can never quite count on Pope Francis to be consistent with his words from one day to the next.

And his actions and who he chooses to endorse, invite, or otherwise associate with is often in direct contradiction to what he says,

It would be seen as superfluous until this profligate, dissipated age — and then too late.

Our answer is the evangelist and the multitude of praying souls behind him.

Roy Moore was too early, IMHO. One can’t enforce what’s not widely believed in.

Unfortunately Pope Francis sends out mixed signals by mixing unequivocal statements with a lot of fluff to satisfy the police of political correctness...

Whole churches are liable to the danger of the fear of man.

Unfortunately, Pope Francis is either unwilling or unable to expound on doctrine consistently and clearly. He contradicts previous Popes, foundational Catholic doctrines, the very words of Christ, and even himself, it seems, from one paragraph to the next.

He gets offended, too, when people notice.

Pray for him.

Truth be told, I find it very hard to do so.

What I do pray for is that his papacy is over soon.

Who replaces him will most likely be a turning point for me.

But to give Pope Francis his due, he has consistently voiced opposition to critical gender theory, despite his many ambiguities and his scandalous appointments -— wolves in shepherds’ clothing -— in key Vatican offices dealing with sex and gender.

All life is about one’s own heart AND mind.....always is and can’t separate the two which is only dehumanization.

America did define marriage that way, but the courts overturned that definition.

Even if we had a constitutional amendment to define marriage, the liberals would have passed laws for civil unions which gave civil unions a legal status equivalent to marriage.

.
And the courts have the last word, therefore America’s definition of marriage is NOT just between a man and a woman and that is why we are in the mess that we are.

How about getting your own right before sitting there pontificating

It’s a law-is-an-ass situation.
