As a fellow Catholic, this pope has caused me to rethink my faith. How on earth were the Cardinals guided by the Holy Spirit to elect this man as pope? Does a God who is all good guide men to choose someone who sows discord and confusion within the Church?
If this choice was not guided by God, but merely by the whims of men, how can the Church’s followers trust its many other pronouncements and teachings on morals and theology?
Maybe there’s a “greater good” plan at work, but it’s also possible that much of what we’re being taught is bunk and not guided by God at all.
I firmly believe our Church is under attack. I also believe that Pope Benedict was threatened in some way. Bergolio is not the true pope in my opinion. The Catholic church has gone through bad popes - and now a non-pope, like Francis - before and survived. The True Faith is still the same, even though the men in power don’t practice it and are trying to change it. There are still good men in the church - like Cardinal Burke, who are speaking out against the evil that is happening. Men like him are under attack.
