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.
Glad one of the Cardinals had the guts to stand up and tell it like it is !!!
The current pope has been smoking crack! He’s nuts and in it for his own glory and power!
I agree with him entirely!
This man is right. The pope has become corrupt as in the days of dark ages , he speaks with a questionable unadulterated lack of respect for old and new testament by becoming to interested in politics than his fallowers getting slottered, he not once went to where his people are losing limb and life. He speaks as other men and liberals in Hollywood . If you are going to say something that is holy then stick with it pope. Don’t contact yourself or speak with forked young. Speak to your people and tell the truth. Leave the children alone sexually and stop fallowing the worldly things in hiprocracy and vain things of words from false hoods and gossiping. You should be better than that but you are a Pope and not really ordained by God really but we will let that slide. Shut up about politics and get back to Christ and be true to him who has saved mankind.
Yes
Soooo let me get this straight… Pope that hides pedophiles is good… Pope that outs them is bad because Commies? And this Pope is like making a deal with$#%&!@* What about the Pope that DID make Deal with$#%&!@*.. Hell what about the last Pope that was one of the$#%&!@*youth… I swear you religious folks are funny. Too bad you vote.
There IS a method to get a Pope out of office. See: Pope John Paul I.
The Cardinal is absolutely right. Defloc him. I am a Catholic. This is a disgrace. I have heard people that he is building the one world church spoke of in revelations. Get rid of him.
This pope is the first time in my life that I do not respect. I’m not a Catholic, but I respect this religion because they believe in the TRINITY. “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. These three are one.” But, this pope is trouble. The devil is the great deceiver. We are being deceived. Some of us know that. It’s all a Spiritual Warfare.
We preach that you can ‘t stop something from happening ( like ISIS, for example) unless you first name it. Muslim terrorists. Right? Well, let me tell you something, if you can’t admit it and say it with your mouth, “This is Spiritual Warfare”, then you’re going down with the ship. Like it or not.
Cardinal Zen speaks the truth.
