Pope Francis, you really let us down
American Thinker ^ | 08/30/2018 | By Richard Jack Rail

Posted on 08/30/2018 8:52:45 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Pope Francis refuses to say "a single word" about the accusation by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, former papal nuncio to the United States, that Francis knew in 2013 of former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick's sexual predations of young men in seminary and covered them up.

I've had it with this man. He goes around redefining Church dogma to suit himself, saying there is no Hell. As the head of the Church, he doesn't have the right to do that. If he wants to gainsay Christ, he should resign his post and go on a lecture tour as a private citizen, saying whatever turns him on.

Now he refuses to talk about an issue central to the Church today. It's his duty to condemn behavior that contravenes the will of God as revealed in Scripture, to include covering up such behavior. If he can't bring himself to do these things, he ought never to have accepted the papacy.

Francis's refusal to follow doctrine, and then to even discuss a crucially important issue, leads to suspicions that he himself has taken part in the filth he enabled. No disciple of Christ, no true man of God, would say or do what this pope has said and done. As an obvious adherent of the Vatican II departures from church dogma, he has no place among believers.

Get out, Francis. You are not fit to lead the Catholic Church. Go back to being just another dude. That we can accept.

We need to get back to our Biblical roots.

Agreed, but a Catholic version of Joel Osteen would need to be able to write better books and have more charisma.

Can’t the Cardinals remove the Pope involuntarily? Or is there a major infestation of “fellow travelers” in their ranks who are perfectly content with his corruption?

Pope Francis’ long-winded letter about the child sex abuse issue did not win many friends among the Catholic hierarchy. He needs to step down.

“Is the pope Catholic?”

“Nope. Not any more.”

Good thing we have a spare. If Francis gets removed, Benedict XVI could come back. Or, if they really feel the need, they could have a conclave and choose a third Pope. Keep trying until they get a good one.

I echo this call for Roman Catholicism to return to the teachings of the Scriptures as the only source of Truth.

He needs to find an exit strategy that will leave the Church as best positioned supernaturally as possible. We need to pray (and fast) that he will be moved to do so.

Truth is eternal. While the Scriptures are true, and contain the most important truths, truth is bigger.

I figure he’s catholic but his agenda and siding with the globalist agenda is first and matters most.....In Romes Vatican it’s still about the money and who gives it and has it under their control above all else. Religion is somewhere way down that food chain.

They removed Benedict so yeah, they can. However they removed Benedict because he wasn't pliable enough to the gay sex crowd. They got a man who would be. And he has been. There is no way they replace their man.

The previous Pope was pushed out because he took on the Homosexual Cabal... and this Pope was put in because he is either part of it, or completely owned by it...

The church continues to deny that the biggest contributor to this inherent evil within its ranks is this same Cabal... and util it does, NOTHING will change.

We will be right back where we are in a few decades... because these people will do anything to protect themselves, even if it means sacrificing children to those of their ranks that defile children.

The Scriptures either contain God's Truth or they don't.
