The family is under attack by LEFTISTS in the name of “social justice”. It’s part of the process.

” The family is under attack by LEFTISTS in the name of “social justice”.”

Something that this leftist Pope fully supports.

Is this the same Pope who last week called Israel the state of Palestine and prayed at the security barrier built to keep out suicide bombers?

Hahaha. His Holiness made a funny and made me laugh.
That's the first time in MY life that the Vicar of Christ made a public funny AND made me laugh

He's so right. The charismatics need the physicality, I guess. They remind me of the Elmer Gantry movies. Burt Lancaster was great in it.

This is not true. Why is he. then, holding a big summit on the family to strengthen families around the world? That means natural mother-dad families, too!

I pray the summit serves to strengthen families, and is not used or misused by those who wish to expand the definition of family to include sodomite groupings. All it would take is a few unfortunate, authentically spontaneous words and they'll be off to the races.

Liberation theology is not theology at all. It has more to do with Karl Marx than Christ.
