Well, there were two good Popes in a row. I guess it was asking too much for God to deliver a third good one.
This current pope is showing signs of being a nit wit progressive.
Sounds like the definition of a Jesuit, which Pope Francis is.
god rules heaven. he is in charge, on Earth, of those who obey Him, everyone else, though He created them, if they reject His teaching, and His will, are on their own.
This Pope is right for our time, as it is whom the bishops chose.
Well people turn back to the catechism and true teaching after all of this?
Will Americans turn to the founding principals after BO?
People right now want to be bad. They want birth control, abortion, the blurring of sex identity, materialism.
they want it.
god is there fro those who want to follow Him, those who are without representation, at least in this country, if not within their religion. god doesn’t abandon us.
“This current pope is showing signs of being a nit wit progressive.”
Showing signs? I think it is a done deal.
So?
Big deal!
Rome has suffered through worst than this before...
Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]
Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.
Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy
Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy
Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]
Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]
Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]
Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
