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.

WAKE UP VATICAN AND DUMP THIS IMPOSTER!!!!
Nope. False prophet.
Only God can forgive our sins
Tom, well done. Bible tells ya how it is, if ya don’t like what it says…… Find something else to put you faith in. God didn’t say it was A’ la carte . No need for anger or violence, move on
How can any one who believes in Jesus want to be catholic?
Not. Only Jesus ,if asked by the sinner will be forgiven. A Priest is a sinner, a man.
Its ok to have as many abortions as you want now if you are catholic ,just go to confession and all is forgiven and then get pregnant again and have another abortion, back to confession we go ,What a sick situation !!!!!!
the only one to forgive sins is Jesus
In the Old Testament days, BEFORE Jesus they had a High Priest in the Temple that you confessed your sins to, BUT ,now listen close, BUT God sent Jesus to us to be ” THAT” mediator between US and God . No NEED to confess your Sin to another HUMAN and you CAN’T GET to the Father any other way BUT THROUGH JESUS ! READ THE BIBLE , STUDY to SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly diving the word of God .
I’m sorry, the pope has no power on earth to forgive sin, period. That power belongs to Jesus Christ and him only. He said if any man comes to the Father by any other, he is the same as a thief and a robber.
