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.

he’s better than the Italian cardinal that really won the Papal election (Cardinal Zacolee). But no one likes Pope c colee……bata boom , bata bing………………………………!
Christ is the only one who can remove sin, not some guy with a collar.
Trolls. They’re everywhere. I’m not sure this one even understands what my comments mean.
He can’t absolve s**t
The church is its own worst enemy.
Who gave him the power to do that? This pope is wacked..
God don’t like his word Bent
Now this is what I never understood about the Catholic Church: “This is a serious sin, but there are loopholes we can make available – if the price is right . . . ”
Technically, if Adolph$#%&!@*had been really, really sorry about killing those millions of people – there’s a loophole for that!
No priest has the power to absolve sin only Jesus has that power because he paid the price for our sins
they always had this right…????
