Pope Francis raised some eyebrows while discussing sex abusers, whom he labeled “children of God” who deserve love and “pastoral care” — as well revolting “enemies” who must be punished.

The pontiff made his remarks last month during a private meeting with a group of Jesuit priests in Hungary, but they were only published Tuesday by La Civilta Cattolica, an Italian Jesuit journal.

“How do we approach, how do we talk to the abusers for whom we feel revulsion? Yes, they too are children of God. But how can you love them?” Francis was quoted as saying.

WHAT THE.......................

"Dirty Old Men Need Love Too"

That’s exactly what a fake pope would say.

[CodeToad]

Let God love them, we’ll arrange the meeting!

[BipolarBob]

The Bible says they need a millstone around their neck and thrown into the sea. Who is correct?

[brownsfan]

Yeah, that will win people back to a rapidly declining Catholic church.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Friggin Frankie da Pope has lost all his rosary beads. The Church needs to go find a real Pope. That’s the only way it will survive.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The idiot is trying to make a conventional point about Christian love of your enemies and those for whom you feel revulsion, and the ability of anyone to achieve redemption, but he is completely tone-deaf with his example and how he presented it.

Pope Francis should be made to is with the kids that have been abused recently and see what those kids have to say about th scum abusing them.

[eyeamok]

And if we put these Child Molesters in General Population in the local prisons, they will receive the “love” they deserve

[ridesthemiles]

THE ANTI-CHRIST ?????

[elpadre]

Yes, God does love us, but he doesn’t love some of the things we do. And as the good father he is, I suspect discipline of some kind is in order.

[rktman]

Drag show at the vatican?

[HYPOCRACY]

I’ve had enough of this pile of sub human garbage. Can’t wait for this POS to go home to his master in hell.

The RC church is a home and shelter for the wicked in this day. On twatter various people still pimping the church because it’s a frontier for pr0n. “Sexy catholic women s**w like bunnies!” “I went to church wearing a sexy poofy dress today! I can’t wait to get home and have sex with my sexy sexy husband! We’re going to have a million kids!”

As a student in catholic school grades kindergarten through 8, I learned about corruption and favoritism; I learned that MONEY TALKS; I learned that it’s all right for priests to run card games and other grift/fraud scams because “separation of church and state” means we can commit crimes and get away with it.

(Note: I’m not claiming that I’m NOT a sinner. I know I am. I have a lot of things about me to fix. But my experiences with evil have helped me be able to identify it in a way very few others can. Thank you Jesus.)

[Bigg Red]

Convinced the Pope impersonatoris the product of the devil. He sure isn't Christ like.
