If you need a recap of the Pope’s visit to America, he basically added fuel to the wildfires already started by liberals. His left-leaning tendencies are the reason the Catholic Church might be close to another schism. There’s also the fact that during his address to Congress, he praised known communists and promoted a Marxist agenda.
Basically, Pope Francis is attempting what the Soviet Union could not manage to pull off in the past, and that’s to forcibly convert the US to Communist ideology.
The United States’ largest lay-run apostolates, called Catholic Answers, whose mission statement is to “help good Catholics become better Catholics,” describes Thomas Merton (1915–1968), as a womanizer, and member of the Young Communist League. Thomas Merton also fathered a child, (he was a Trappist monk, but some people also describe him as a Zen Buddhist.)
In the last year of his life, he wrote in his journal while traveling through Asia:
Last night I dreamed I was, temporarily, back at Gethsemani. I was dressed in a Buddhist monk’s habit, but with more black and red and gold, a “Zen habit,” in color more Tibetan than Zen . . . I met some women in the corridor, visitors and students of Asian religion, to whom I was explaining I was a kind of Zen monk and Gelugpa together, when I woke up. (Asian Journal, 107)
Let me remind you that Merton is supposed to be a Catholic monk not a Zen Buddhist, but Pope Francis believes that we should all honor that added value in his One World Religion set up. In fact, he did not mention Jesus once in his speech to Congress, but he mentioned Moses, who is recognized as Prophet by all three Abrahamic religions.
Pope Francis’ other choice, Dorothy Day, does not seem to be any better. David Ripe for the Catholic Media Coalition wrote this about Dorothy Day in 2012, when the American bishops unanimously backed the advancement of the cause of Dorothy Day through the process leading to sainthood:
“while she has the unanimous support of the bishops, Day is a controversial figure among many rank and file Catholics who do not consider her an acceptable role model. For them, she exemplifies the archetypal “liberal Catholic” or “social justice Catholic.” These terms refer to individuals who are often disposed to try to change the Church in various ways and who are strongly animated and influenced by left-leaning political ideology. Many such Catholics became emboldened following Vatican II and made chimerical interpretations of its documents.”
The separation between the church and government is growing thin, these days. If those who promote the liberal agenda believe they have God on their side, there’s no telling what kind of atrocities they’ll commit.

I try not to be too abrasive but the truth is the truth . If i had never heard the truth , how would i know ? The apostle Paul said it all in Galatians 1:8. If its not what the apostles taught , its not right. I dont want to be accursed.
Greg Richard, you are very confused brother, please learn true history before commenting false propaganda
Bear false witness much, bro?
Greg Richard, the church agrees and teaches what you are saying in the beginning of your paragraph for over 2000years. Now you twisted things with the Pope being in with$#%&!@* Those are Protestant denominations misconceptions. And yes, you have it right, the Church did receive the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, but that church you are talking about is the Catholic Church. And yes, we totally agree with you on Galatians 1:8, so why are you going against the Scripture and our Lord and Savior’s true Church, the Catholic Church! we have been preaching that exact verse since the days of the disciples. So the burden is on you and all the Protestant denominations, why are you not following what Galatians 1 : 8 says! And remember, the Pope is the successor to St Peter, do your homework before you erroneously preach false propaganda.
Mike. You are sadly mistaken. It is written in the catholic encyclopedia.. It is the catholic church that is teaching false doctrine. Peter was not the first pope. He never preached in Rome. That is a lie the catholic church teaches. Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. The epistle to the Romans was by Paul. In fact most of the epistles were by Paul. Peter was the apostle to the Jews. In fact Paul rebuked Peter to his face because of his unwillingness to preach to anyone but the Jews. That isnt in a history book. Its in THE BIBLE.. The trinitarian doctrine did not come about till the COUNCIL OF NICEAE over 300 yrs after the True Apostolic Church was born. The APOSTOLIC doctrine is the only true doctrine. As said in Galations 1:8. You are the one that needs to do the research. I have been studying for over 35 yrs. Since God led me out of catholicism . I have spent months talking to priests that cannot give answer for why the catholic church left the teachings of the apostles. Would you care to explain why the catholic church left the teachings of the apostles ?
The catholic encyclopedia also shows that the catholic church left the teachings of Peter about baptism. Baptism was to be by emersion in water in the NAME OF JESUS. Not by sprinkling water on an infants head in the titles father , son and Holy Spirit. According to the apostles , baptism was to follow repentance. Tell me how can an infant repent ?
They do not have God on their side!!
