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.

I AM NOT A Catholic, but how can you forbid Catholics to vote for Hillary due to her stance on abortion, THEN a few weeks later come up with an out of your freakin’ mind process to “overlook” it??
who does the pope think he is, only God can forgive sin and the pope is a man just like every other male is and has no authority to forgive sin any more than the worst sinner has.
To all of you who believe in this practice of confessing your sins to another man or woman who is just as sinful as you are by our nature since the time of Adam. Please read the Bible for yourselves. Educate yourself. For “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”. There is only one intermediary between God and man and his name is Jesus Christ the Lord. The Son of the Living God..If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord. You will be saved
No ritual, or rite. No tradition or practice can do that. Not a baptism or dedication. Not a laying of hands or anointing of oil will get you into Paradise. Jesus said, ” I am the way the truth and the life. NO ONE comes unto the Father but by (through) me”.
This priest will one day be judged harshly I’m sure.
Wow, the faux Vicar is granting himself the power that only God Himself has. This guy is prominently mentioned in End Time Prophesy. But, hey! Maybe he’ll absolve himself of all those sins HE is committing. Yup, that’ll work! LOLOL
sorry folks but this guy is no Catholic.
God word is all
call no man Shepard for we have one priest, Jesus Christ.
Hebrews reiterates the priesthood. no mortal has the right to wear the garments of God.
Jesus semt us the Comforter who is divine. ministers are in tbe books of timothy to teach us to be priests and prophets in our home. There is no human substitute to divinity.
The Catholic Church is sometimes just so hypocritical, I know, I grew up in a priest house.
The p**p can’t absolve no one’s sin… Unbelievable how people fall for this$#%&!@*..
We were warned in the scriptures about those who would come in the last days and decieve many!
