Protestant here, born and raised in a “fundamentalist” independent Baptist Church. I have a BA. and M.A. in Bible and theology from flagship Evangelical schools. I also have an earned Ph.D. in theology from a Jesuit university. I served for years on the mission field [in the Middle East], and have taught on the college level. Finally, I am the author of numerous books of the subject of eschatology.
Before anyone thinks I am “touting my own horn,” I should add that at this stage in my life [retired] I am flat broke and facing numerous health and other problems. Perhaps I should have chosen professions where I could make a little money!
Anyway, all this to give my 2 cents on the pope and the current situation. I know a little bit about how Catholics view the pope as after many years of attending mega-Evangelical churches, my wife and I currently attend a RCC church [long story].
In my view, either the current pope is unthinkingly spouting off, or there is something more sinister going on. The latter possibility is supported by the nefarious St. Gallen Group and the fact that Bergoglio has elevated MANY heretical prelates to positions of power [including the diabolical Fr. James Martin].
It is truly possible that we are seeing the predicted evil religious leader that will arise in the End Times. Time will tell; all that is left to do is try to prepare ourselves as best as possible, and do what we can to advance the Gospel and oppose the evil. As I said, just my 2 cents.

Pope Francis: Religious fundamentalism is a ‘plague’
He isn't against Muslim "Fundamentalists" - but Bible believing Christians.
Especially those in America.
If Jorge isn't the False Prophet of Revelation, then he is doing a great job auditioning for the role.
This is what having a globalist/communist/POS Pope looks like.
Kayne West is Satanic? It’s hard to take anyone seriously that makes that claim.
In other words, the Pope's opinion of Fundamentalist Bible believers is exactly the same as that of every other Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Nestorian, regardless of where he might be on the political spectrum.
During the few years I spent in the Catholic Church, the Catholic publications pummeled "Fundamentalism" constantly while promoting historical criticism and evolution (you know, like "St." Fulton J. Sheen and "St." John Henry Newman). In fact, Catholic Digest seemed to be more worried about Jonah's great fish than they were abortion.
This is what you anti-Fundies get. Happy now?
I think I remember that Rome tried this; a few centuries back; starting in Spain.
No one expected it.
It was unsuccessful then.
I doubt it can do any better in the future.
The last Pope, indeed. Without immediate intervention, this satanic false Pope will leave the RCC in tatters.
