Why should we be at all concerned about what a heretic Pope says?

When will Catholics around the world say enough is enough? I have doubts if he is even a Christian. There have been too many red flags. No one should be in power for life.

Mr. pope, go bend over and play receiver again for a while and stop talking about stuff you don’t understand.

That was not just overly harsh and untrue, but downright in-Christian

Does the Pontiff ever - EVER - talk about saving souls? Or just saving the environment?

The remarks can MUST be viewed as a clear endorsement by the Argentinian pope of resistance against populist and xenophobic political movements. It has become so tiresome, the Daily Papal Embarrassment...

A papal renunciation (Latin: renuntiatio) occurs when the reigning pope of the Roman Catholic Church voluntarily steps down from his position. As the reign of the pope has conventionally been from election until death, papal renunciation is an uncommon event. Before the 21st century, only five popes unambiguously resigned with historical certainty, all between the 10th and 15th centuries. Additionally, disputed claims of four popes having resigned date between the 3rd and 11th centuries; a fifth disputed case may have involved an antipope.

Additionally, a few popes during the saeculum obscurum were “deposed,” meaning driven from office by force. The history and canonical question here is complicated; generally, the official Vatican list of popes seems to recognize such “depositions” as valid renunciations if the pope acquiesced, but not if he did not. The later development of canon law has been in favor of papal supremacy, leaving no recourse to remove a pope involuntarily.[1]

“... unless effectively dealt with...”

That is a direct threat to President Trump. I hope Trump gives a speech “in-kind” that prompts people to “deal” with this evil pope.

Frankie needs to relax and lighten up a little. He appears over-stressed.

The “Pope” will never renunciate. He is equivalent to Obama
and intends to fundamentally change/destroy the Catholic church and is well on his of doing it.

His remarks would be slightly more tolerable if was even pretending to speak up for traditional Catholic teaching on morality. Instead he assails those who are defending the Faith and makes common cause with the same anarchists who support abortion, euthanasia, the homosexual agenda, sexual permissiveness, and the vulgarity and perversion amplified by the entertainment industry. His remarks put him further left than Obama.

Time to cut off any and all federal funds sent to any Catholic church or diocese, that is breaking our immigration laws. Helping to bring in illegals and getting for that criminal activity.
