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.
Connie Bucksot, because Benedict was a political decision by people like this Cardinal Zen. Francis has genuinely been selected by divine intervention. The church should never be an organization to defend greed, that was never it’s calling. That’s why so many faux Catholics here have an issue.
The pope cares more for muslims tan the christians, but yet the muslims are destroying christian churches and shrines everywhere they go
“Lay Investiture” was a big problem at on time. And now it seems that we are giving into it again.
Because he is right, this pope is the obama of Catholicism, get rid of him before its too late!!! Vote him out, whatever needs done, they way obama set our nation back 50 years racially, this pope ia doing the same the catholics,
Pope Francis is a disgrace to the Catholic religion.
I BEEN TELLING YOU PEOPLE TO GET RID OF THIS SATAN WORSHIPPER! HELLO? HELLO? HEY! IS, THIS MIC ONLY?
Same here! Look at his eyes, and then his smile/smirk! They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and I see his!
This is not good for the Catholics or the church!!
Money is not the only form of payment, Doug.
OK Janis, you’ve said this a dozen times now. We’ve read it, OK?
Yep, the pope is a moron.
