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.
That’s what you get when you select a Pope from Argentina; arguably one of the most socialist countries in Latin America and with heavy influence of Marxism.
Apparently, supporting the advance of Marxism comes first before the advance of religion; that is to say, it is being advanced in the name of religion.
How hypocritical is it to advance open borders while one lives in the Vatican behind guarded 40 foot walls? Or, to allow Communist China to select Bishops whose allegiances are not to Christ?
Is this open dissension from Cardinal Zen the first chink in the armor? His allegations have merit.
He’s right
Good reason for any and all religions to NOT have church “leaders”.
the drugs the jesusits give him have messed up the popes mind, he does not know if he coming or going
thats the problem with this pope, its not about the church it should be about Jesus, hes lost site of that one
Robert White your runon sentence is a little hard to follow but here are two quotes. Matthew 11:28 and 1 Peter5:7. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to bring your troubles to a pope or anyone else who can intercede on your behalf. The pope acts like the high priest who is the only one who has access to the holy of holies in the tabernacle. The pope is actually saying that Jesus’ death on the cross was not sufficient, that you still need to go through me.
absolutely ! he ought to be dusting off the swords and shields !
If you Novus Ordo Katholics would just realize that you’re following antipopes then their heretical words and actions would all make sense.
The Pope is on Dope! Smokin the global crack pipe ! Don’t get me started. True followers of Christ do not require Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, Priest to “intercede” for them. ” Rituals ” went out the window when Jesus Christ was resurrected !! Yes , we need the teachings of The Word, but NO human can forgive sin other than Jesus. Lord and Savior is a personal relationship not organized religion. ( as I recall , that is exactly what Jesus was against )
Pope Francis wants to let China do election of the papacy?!!!!!!! He must be out of his Christforsaken mind!!
