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 totally agree! Pope Francis is -and- has been- on a long journey away from Catholicism Doctrines! And, away from Christ.!
The Pope is from a nation that has been ruled by dictators for years. He is a socialist and doesn
Watch your back Cardinal. This is a cabal of Satanic psychopaths & criminals your talking about!
I heard that he also betrayed the easter bunny, Santa Clause and many other fictional beings! The movie comes out during the winter solstice it’s called Pope Fiction!
This Pope is a mere leftist hack …. no one to respect.
what is the point of a pope? no church i ever went to has one. we have pastors who lead worship, and do their best to explain what we are reading in the bible to the best of their knowledge. But other than that, we dont have anyone telling us we have any sort of rules or anything. I dont think i would stand for that. Its like the government running the church. and that would be very wrong. I alwasy thought that other than the pastor helping us learn what is in the bible, that the rest was up to faith, and going to Jesus or God in prayer. Why does there need to be anyone between a person and their Lord? Don’t we have faith that Jesus hears our prayers and knows what we need before we ask for it? That we worship no other God? How is a Pope or Cardinal or Bishop and whatever else more important than that?
………and didn’t the catholic church help the$#%&!@*thugs escape to South America during/after WW II ? So not much has changed
and the cardinal is right the pope should be removed I don’t have any respect for this pope he must be remoned
I agree with this Cardinal
While God choosed the leader and sometimes the leader is chosen to punish the people, The Church should have a mechanism to remove a man who is poised to destroy the very institution he has been chosen to lead. The Church is to follow Christ, not the pope. There have been several evil popes in the past that have caused great harm to the church. Frankly it may be time for the Catholic Church to re-evaluate the direction of doctrine as given by the church vs as given by God. The time has come to cast out the leven of the priests.
