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.

Sorry if you are Catholic, but the pope has no more authority than you do if you believe in Jesus as your Savior.
Only God can do this. A priest is just a man and NOT God…
Sin, and forget it. Convenient! Also, no repentance required, just do it again! That’s an effective way to end up in Hell, but does the Pope care? Nope!
catholic church is pretty much done, the vatican is about to be overrun by islamists anyway
This is a lie – it was always the possiblity to be forgiven for grave sins. Jesus Christ gave the apostles that ability not Pope Francis. You who are reporting, do not know the Catholic Faith. AS LONG AS A PERSON IS REMORSEFUL ABOUT COMMITTING THE SIN THE PRIEST WILL ABSOLVE THEM. ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
he does not have the authority – – according to the bible
