It seems like Pope Francis is determined to see that his papacy is marked by an extraordinary level of controversy, much of it generated by him within the Catholic Church itself. While the Christian faith is no stranger to theological disputes since its inception 2,000 years ago, some periods have obviously been marked by more vigorous debates than others, much to the regret of devoted adherents to the Faith.
Yet Pope Francis doesn’t seem to be troubled by being the center of some very divisive disputes, or the fact that he is the one who has created them.
He has taken a strong position in favor of open immigration, and has made statements on theology that are in direct opposition to historic Christian doctrine such as his proclamation that all religions worship the same god.
He recently took a very charitable and supportive position on Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro, an avowed atheist, who just died.
But this time he may have really done it. See page two.
I would like to see HUGE DEBATES and bring up “horrors and error’s in the bible” of both Hebrew and Greek.
He is a socislist.
Due to this POPE, I have chosen to leave the church as he is NO POPE John Paul II. The last true pope. He favors totalitarian regimes which goes against the very core of Catholicism. He favors open borders too. Sorry, but you left ME behind…
This pope is a socialist hypocrite. Why in the hell did the vote in in the first place
he lost his marbel.
Pope Francis is into “liberation theology,” which Pope John Paul II denounced. His deal with the Chinese communists is the reverse of what protestant clergy did in 1934 to counter$#%&!@*s attempt to establish a state church. The passed the Barmen Declaration, staging that their allegiance was to Jesus the Christ rather than to any government.
ther previous pope to me was kicked out and this f**e pope was insalled by a group of corrupt politicians
Judge not lest Ye be judged. If you doubt that God is speaking through the Pope you need to switch religions, not change the Pope.
How can you back a man who obviously DOES NOT speak for God on so many issues? The Vicar of Christ is supposed to be the voice of God, not to express his own political views.
He is a disgrace.
You apparently know little about the Catholic faith. The pope is NOT an absolute ruler. He is to be obeyed only in matters of faith and morals but ONLY WHEN HE ADHERES TO THE DOGMAS AND PRECEPTS of the Magesterium. No pope has the authority to undermine or subvert the teachings of the Church. Idf a pope does so, he is an apostate and a heretic.
Yep.
Not my Pope
