FEELING DEVASTATED BY WHAT POPE FRANCIS SAYS? TRY THESE 3 HELPFUL KEYS

Ah, I see.

Expressed more clearly as a noun?

That could be better for the reign in office (the "Show"), wherein my own stutter-spelling was possibly indicative more of action, thus seemingly only a verb...

The corrected version you supplied better follows the original word form, which can be used as noun, or verb.

VIVA the Evil POPES!!!!

Such christian charity! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. That is quite a statement! It would be helpful for all of us if you could name them and support your statement with verifiable facts.

Amen. We have to tell people Jesus is the answer, the only answer. Do not depend on man because not a one is perfect.

That info has been posted numerous times on this site.

That info has been posted numerous times on this site.

Then you should have no problem repeating it for all of us to see on one thread. Many thanks.

Do your own research. I am not your momma. . That is what smart people do. Frankly, I have so much eye pain I should not even be on my iPad. Still have more surgery to go through.

I want to say, the one thing that is nice about the Catholic Church is it’s respect for history and tradition.

If you think this Pope is off his rocker, go back to the teachings of a Pope that is more like Peter.

Do your own research. I am not your momma.

The accusation of "evil popes" came from Elsie, with which you not only agreed but assured me had been posted on multiple threads. Since Elsie's statement and your concurrence is in opposition to historical reality, it is up to you to support the accusation with whatever contrived resources you have found. That is what "smart freepers" do.

This is just one site:

There are many others.

[NYer]

Oddee is your reference source? ROFL!

[redleghunter]

That is what you call “the 360 of error.”

He doesn’t wear the red shoes. That should be a give away.

"pope has to KNOW how he is being portrayed-"

Of course he knows. People who hate Catholicism are not going to change, they'll take potshots at him no matter what he says, or how he says it.

[Grateful2God]

I wonder if that man, dressed as a woman in the picture, uses a woman's name...

A bombastic approach probably wouldn't be effective. Hell, I'm straight and I just scrolled through it. Do you really think someone it pertains to is going to read it? Maybe Scripture in Technicolor is not the answer...

There is an organization called "Courage" that helps people with same-sex attraction to lead a life of chastity. It also provides support for friends and family members of these people.

Courage International

"We lived thru these guys!!!"

"We" who? It's safe to say that no one from 896 a.d. is still around today.

The Church has had its faults and problems throughout the centuries. It's no secret; wow, even Wiki has an article about it, we've really made the big time.

It's those groups and individuals who refuse to disclose that are difficult to trust...

[Grateful2God]

"...which threads would see much less activity if evangelicals did not get involved."

Also much less derision, sarcasm, diversion off-topic, tasteless graphics... Please don't do us any favors... Start a "People Who Hate Catholicism" caucus.

[Grateful2God]

"You solely posted SCRIPTURE. You’ll need some TRADITION tossed in to make it palatable."

Don't forget the MAGISTERIUM, too!

[Grateful2God]

"If you think this Pope is off his rocker, go back to the teachings of a Pope that is more like Peter."

The very same Peter whom Christ set aside as the Rock on which He would build His Church!

[dila813]

That’s right
