I rarely on any comments or edicts from this pope or any past pope, not qualifying as a “Christian” in his eyes (I’m Baptist) but it’s high time he was selected by a gaggle if his Socialist/Communist/Homosexual peers!

In my opinion, this guy can take his comments or rambling utterances and put them “where the sun don’t shine” (a less than decent comment I know, for a follower of Christ) but he can use them for so much toilet paper, for all the good they matter, as they are always trotted out by the Catholic-hating leftists around the world to smear the United States!

This Pope or any Pope would consider you, as a Baptist, to be a Christian.

I help teach people from other faiths wanting to become full members of the Catholic Church. All of my RCIA students who are already baptized in the Name of the Trinity in any church, Baptist, Lutheran, Church of God in Christ, whatever --- are recognized as being already Christians, and --- in the incipient sense --- already Catholics.

For instance, my husband, who was baptized in the Baptist church, was recognized as being fully able to receive a Catholic sacrament, namely Matrimony.

The Catechism says:

Paragraph # 838 "Those who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church."
