don’t leave the Catholic Church. Find a pre-Vatican II traditional Tridentine Mass near you.

He’s a DISGRACE!!!!!!!!
Well, he doesn’t speak or represent my Catholicism...he is a very flawed man, not TRUELY of Christ.
Just one man’s opinion here.

This is not helped by the fact that the Cardinals are making decisions based on very earthly criteria.

I’ve had a peek into some of the internal financial documents. The Catholic Church is cratering. Both in numbers of followers/Mass attendance, and in financial contributions. Evangelical churches are making HUGE
inroads into traditionally Catholic countries in Africa and Latin America.

They are desperate to do anything to reverse this slide. Whether it conforms to Church and Biblical teaching or not.

I don’t speak Latin.
Very few Catholics under age 60 ever learned it.

"How can I, in good conscience, stay if he turns our Church into a bolt-on appendage of the Global Communist Party?"

Because Jesus taught that the Church would prevail...always. Any one pope is irrelevant. There have been FAR worse popes, but the Church is still here, and still teaching the truth.

Maybe next time they should choose a Catholic for the Pope

Truth matters.

The heresies that Bergoglio has enacted and continues to enact are scandalizing souls and leading them astray; because of this, Benedict will be remembered as one of the worst Popes ever, for letting this wolf in sheep’s clothing run rampant through the flock.

But even if the whole world declares that Bergoglio is the Pope, it will not change the truth.

I suggest you read the whole piece, if you haven’t already.

“Good for Latin America”? Horseshit, your idiotness!

I spent some very unpleasant time in some LATAM shitholes when liberation theology was at its apex and it wasn’t good for anyone. It wasn’t the least bit uncommon for adherents to liberation theology, i.e., catholic priests and nuns - a few of which are “no longer with us”, to cache weapons and other supplies for the FMLN, UDN, FARC and other Marxist insurgent groups. Those groups, in turn, used those weapons to murder tens of thousands of civilians and more than a few US and host nation soldiers.

The pope’s either intentionally ignorant or has his head up his holy ass!

Ask the Women in White about that, Francis. They never found out what happened to the fathers, husbands and sons that the Leftist governments took away. They just “disappeared.” This man is shamefully ignorant of freedom.

One of the greatest things JP II ever did (amongst many) was to smack-down Liberation Theology and to order his Priests to get out of politics.

It was really starting to spread a brushfire through Latin America at the time. That man understood the dangers of Communist rule.

Wow. Maybe, my friends in the Roman church, in this the 500th anniversary year of what became known as The Reformation, you all will consider joining us...

The fake Pope is a communist.
He was installed by the NWO to destroy the Catholic Church as a moral force in the world.

Definitely worth reading the interview.
N.B. It is a translation to English so the reader is advised that Francis no doubt expressed that LT is an abomination and was mistranslated into embracing it.
