Pope Francis is upending catholic tradition once again, and many of his followers aren’t happy.
Pope Francis was selected to lead the Catholic church in 2013, after several years of scandal-prone leadership from his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI. But it wasn’t long until Francis began stirring controversy himself.
Unlike his predecessor — who was often characterized as “too conservative” — Francis immediately began liberalizing the Catholic faith. He suggested that his followers apologize to gay people and validated the beliefs of competing religions, claiming that all religions worship the same god. Then, in perhaps the most bizarre development of last year, the pontiff began an unprompted feud with Donald Trump over immigration policy.
So it should come as no surprise that Pope Francis is once again upsetting many of his diehard followers with an announcement that seems to go against fundamental Catholic values.

Chapter and Verse?
Only by going through Jesus can you be saved. In the Bible there are teachers of the word but if they fall they will be judged harsher than others who aren’t of the cloth. Hate to say it if priests are gay they will be judged harshly. So when they are forgiving abortions they need to come clean themselves
Should you expect any difference from a Jesuit Pontiff.
Truth
ONLY JESUS can forgive sin…THERE IS ONLY ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN…..JESUS!!!!!
My Bible says Jesus is the One and only mediator between God and mankind.
