I’m a thankful convert to Catholicism. Things this pope says remind me that throughout the history of the Church there have been good popes & bad ones.

| 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. |
It is statements and actions of fools like this that make me feel I did the ‘right thing’ several years ago.
I definitely could NOT stand by this guy - the further he goes the harder it is to ‘back’ him.
Should have known something was ‘wrong’ when his predecessor resigned to open the way for him.
At least Benedict II admitted he was ‘crazy’ -well unstable- and the real nut case got installed.
BTW... Before any of the ‘Pope Backers’ try to flame me, explain how blind support for ‘His Craziness’ is any different than the Libs standing behind & alongside of their ‘anointed leaders’ no matter how ridiculous they sound.
I just wonder if the same people who are/were against Blacks for voting for BO just because he was Black are any different from People who voted for JFK just because he was Catholic.
There is NO difference ‘voting with blinders on is the same no matter who it is in favor of’.
I wonder if there is any provision for removing a Pope; any “impeachment” type of process in the church.
God bless the Second Amendment.
Folks, I did apply for the nomination to become Pope last time. I might have been a little late in applying and I hadn’t been to church for over 40 years, so it didn’t go well. I would have done better than this guy. Sheesh.
If you go against what God says, are you an anti-Christ?
whaaat???
lol good one
He also calls Islam a "religion of peace", and supports gun confiscation, open borders, and redistribution.
Sounds like Obama defending his muzlim friends...And now it’s obvious Obama is a muzlim...Just sayin’...
Contrary to Pope Francis’ misguided political correctness to be nice to LGBT people, Matthew 18:15-17 shows us that Jesus taught that a congregation is ultimately supposed to treat unrepentant sinners like pagans and tax collectors.
In fact, note that in 1 Corinthians 5 Paul reflected on Jesus’ teaching about unrepentant sinners by reprimanding the Corinthian Christians for not expelling a sexual offender, verse 1 Corinthians 5:13 based on God’s command to “purge the evil from among you as evidenced by Deuteronomy 19:19.
The Pope also evidently doesn’t understand that 1 Corrinthians 15:33 warns not to be misled, “bad company corrupts good morals.”
He needs to apologize to all who were abused by pedophile priests.
Now the Pope would like to apologize to Pontius Pilate, Caiaphus, and the entire Sanhedrin for the critical comments about them in the Bible and for Jesus’ noncooperation with them.
He is really messed up. Sorry, but he is. God is going to destroy the world soon.
How ‘bout asking for forgiveness for the homosexual rape of boys first?
Replace 'pope' with 'president' and that works, too.
Only a matter of time before Pope Frankie sports his pair of his Village People black leather outfit and azz cut-out in public.
Yes, he’s pushing the envelope. And FAST. Waiting for the imminent announcement from Rome: “HAA!! IT WAS ALL A JOKE!!”
Romans 8:1-11 should be our model, the example of Jesus.
Unrepentant sin of ANY KIND in the church body should be dealt with as Paul details in his letters to the Corinthians.
The state, then, is now taking up the wrong headed notion of FORCING CELEBRATION of homosexual behavior. That use not healthy for society, either.
The church needs to work to maintain a balance. We need to witness the love of Jesus Christ while at the same time testifying to the truth of sexual wholeness.
We can start by following Paul’s words in Ephesians: husbands sacrificing for their wives and wives submitting to their husbands.
By this all people will know you are my disciples, it if you love one another.
Bergoglio is not the faith. he’s a witless stooge. he’s enamored with the respect he gets from being in the church, but he’s not a believer. how could he be? he loves himself too much to love anything or anyone else. he’s here to sow chaos and lead people astray. in short, he’s a puppet of more sinister forces. Satan has been silently scheming to topple the Catholic Church and now his minions are in place in high positions around the Church. the culture is sufficiently corrupt and the clergy of the Church is sufficiently weak and now he’s making his move. what we are seeing is the inevitable result of Vatican II. the modernists have corrupted everything they have touched.
the good news is that the Church is NOT Bergoglio or the cabal of marxists and homosexuals and satanists that have infiltrated and set about destroying the Church built by St. Peter. the Church will persevere so long as there are those who are faithful persevere with the truth faith in the face of such heresies.
