Analyst: Pope’s Popularity Slump Marks Fading Trust in Globalism

The approval rating of Pope Francis declined all over Europe during the course of 2018, a new analysis observed Wednesday, in large part because of his ever-less popular pro-immigration stance and other globalist positions.

Among German Catholics, the pope’s popularity plummeted by a staggering 20 percentage points in one year, notes analyst Francesco Galietti, who runs the political risk consultancy Policy Sonar, and with Francis at its helm, the Catholic Church as a whole also suffered a drop of 9 percent in its approval rating among the same constituency.

I don’t know how they come to this conclusion.

This (anti) Pope is unpopular because he is derelict in his duty to Catholics, the Catholic faith and, not the least of which, is God Almighty Himself.

He is there to lead the lost to Christ, and the believers to a closer and more meaningful relationship with God the Son, Jesus.

Everyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear is sick to death of it.

Why in the world do they not trust the globalist elites? All they are trying to do is take our freedom away and turn the masses into serfs and slaves? Why would they object to that???? /sarc

It seems the world is not as fond of Red Frank as the media says. At least he has the homos, abortionists, leftists and mooslimbs as fans.

IMHO it is because it is clear he is toting the water for the globalists, especially as it relates to the climate change restrictions on freedom. Also, because he is clearly a Marxist sympathizer, which appears to be chosen method of controlling the masses. Benedict stepping down to clear the way for him was highly suspicious, as well. Not really very hard to connect the dots if you think about it.

Frankie is a Marxist who is carving out the core of the Church.

I guess you could call it "globalism" because the world is going to hell in a hand basket, but for me it just shows He is NOT a Catholic. His opinions differ from the church and it shows. If he won't resign, he needs to be removed before irreparable damage is done. If he accepts gay marriage or even abortion for rape, you can't get the toothpaste back in the tube.

As far as globalism, Scripture says the whole world will be against God in the Last Days. I guess he wants to join the herd. If God said "My ways are not your ways, and My ways are higher than your ways", Then I would be a little skeptical of agreeing with polls. If 80% + claim to be Christian and 61% accept gay marriage, then someone is lying. Right is right and wrong is wrong even if 95% agree on some poll.

My whole life I’ve heard people rail against the Pope —any pope.

I never understood it.

UNTIL *THIS* POPE.

I don’t see his lack of popularity having anything to do with a rejection of Globalism. He’s unpopular because he doesn’t talk about Christ but instead spews confusing pablum.
