Not once was the name or Our Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed aloud.
Not even a subtle illusion.
Not even a blessing.
Even at St. Patrick's Church later, not even a formal blessing to Catholics.
Is the Pope embarrassed to be Catholic? Is he even?
Not once was the word "abortion" used. There were references to protecting "human life at every state of development." Yes, the Pope opposes abortion. But that weak statement could mean anything to anyone. To me it could mean from conception to natural death; to someone else it can mean birth until life has no dignity. It depends on your perspective and your definition of when life begins and ends.
Let's get one thing perfectly clear.
Capital Punishment is recognised as legitimate in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is in the Bible. In fact, many times God ordered it and nowhere in the New Testament did Our Lord Jesus Christ abrogate it.
The personal opinion of Jorge Bergoglio, Pope of the Holy See is his opinion. It is nothing more. It is his opinion and he has no right to demand from me or anyone else the "global abolition of the death penalty."
Why didn't the Pope say he wanted the "global abolition of abortion?"
The Pope made this political.
Tomorrow at the United Nations will he call for a United Religions of the World?
God help us, please.
Tomorrow, at the UN in NYC, the Pope will announce he has become a Muslim.
Pope save us! /s
This Pope is a Matthew 16:23 Pope imo.

Anyone notice that ABC had a commercial from The FREEDOM FROM RELIGION FOUNDATION during their news cast of the Pope’s visit to NYC?
Totally unnecessary.
“Not once! Not Jesus Christ and not abortion. The very political Pope!”
AMEN! I knew the Name of Jesus Christ was not going to be mentioned. This pope said in July that it is a ‘dangerous’ temptation to believe that one can have a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus outside of the Catholic church. Unbelievable. Why does he say this? I surmise because he wants glory for himself and because of $$$ from their flock. This is why CHRIST JESUS ALONE will ALWAYS get my honor, praise, and glory. No human being who claims to represent Christ, but their fruit says otherwise, will get it.
Thank You, Jesus!
A false pope at best.
Here is the text of the Pope’s homily at the Mass for the canonization of Junipero Serra. Jesus is mentioned very prominently.
I did not listen to him, as I find it difficult to understand him.
But I am pretty certain he closed by saying: "God Bless America (or the United States).
Minor correction, I know and I still don't like the little commie in fancy chapeau.
Amen!
Jesus hears our prayers and we do not need man to intercede.
He had a worldwide audience in front of Congress and an opportunity to speak of Jesus and condemn the genocide of Christians in the Middle East, and to openly and clearly condemn abortion.
To whom much is given, much is expected. He is misusing his power position and will have to answer for that.
For all the pomp and circumstance, you’d expect more bang for the buck.
I heard lots of reference to Jesus at the Vespers. I don’t know where you were. It was a serious religious ceremony. Cut the guy some slack.
Ain’t Pope Marxist wonderful.
Pray America is waking
I believe a person can have a relationship with Jesus Christ without any organization. Fellowship is recommended, but not mandatory.
I agree. So far the Pope and the Bishops are nominally against abortion in public and perhaps in private. Maybe at the UN he will get it right about the massacre of Christians and abortion but I am not holding my breathe.
I’d give my right arm and leg if the Pope would show up tomorrow in front of a Philadelphia Abortion facility and say a Rosary kneeling down.
AMEN.
