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.
They need to replace him.

Agree on that
He is a “social-justice Jesuit” from a socialist/dictatorship SoAm country. Pope Benedict is still our Pope.
The pope means nothing to me, he’s a leader picked by man, the Vatican is nothing more than the biggest bank in the world, I’m sure there’s good intentioned catholic leaders but we are all equal, Jesus Christ is my savior, not a man, who by the way has proven himself to be a hypocrite many times, so I continue to pray, sometimes in disbelief , sometimes with the faith of a mustard seed, but I worship no man, only god
Babylon. Don’t follow man, follow Christ.
The pope is a man , nothing more nothing special, he’s a leader picked by man, the Vatican is nothing more than the biggest bank in the world, I’m sure there’s tons of well intentioned catholic leaders but I worship no man , only the father and the son
Your right Cardinal Zen, believe it is time for the good Lord to call the Pope home!
Finally, a righteous man has come forward
People who pray might not be praying to what they feel is the same God as the next person..I think the pope is changing course from what people have been taught from other past popes…God is constant I don’t think God changes according to the weather, time, people or situations..so how can the pope change the views of popes from the past….. He is conflicting… just my view
Francis is a Pinko nutjob.
