Pope Francis is not okay with the slaughter of tens of millions of the Chinese by their tyrannical government!

He's not? How come he has praised Italy's foremost abortion proponent as a "forgotten great"?

Did he say that?

Seems like he has a love affair with communists

No he has never said that.

However, he has said, “It is not necessary to talk about these issues (i.e. abortion) all the time. The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent.”

Francis talks much more about tree-hugging, socialism, the U.N., etc.

He has said, “Some think, excuse me if I use the word, that in order to be good Catholics, we have to be like rabbits.”

Also:

>>Telling the story of a woman he [Bergolio] met in a parish in Rome several months ago who had given birth to seven children via Cesarean section and was pregnant with an eighth, Francis asked: “Does she want to leave the seven orphans?”<<

>>”This is to tempt God,” he said, adding later: “That is an irresponsibility.” Catholics, the pope said, should speak of “responsible parenthood.”<<

“Responsible parenthood”, how is that different from Planned Parenthood? Red China has a “responsible parenthood” policy also.

The problem is he’s making a mess in faith and morals. I would love if his only issues were secular.

How long before he says a Buddhist can go up for Communion at a Catholic Mass. After all everyone will go to heaven according to pope Jesuit. Belief is Jesus Christ not necessary. It’s all right, go on up and receive the Lord. He understands.
