“He’s reaching out to people in the LGBT community” and “those who feel that they haven’t been labelled as Catholics,” said Higgins.

...

Since Higgins became the ninth President of Ireland in 2011, the two-term Labour man has signed a number of pro-abortion and pro-LGBT bills.

In 2015, the Irish leader signed a bill that legalized homosexual “marriage” following a referendum and in 2018, he signed the tragic abortion bill that legalized abortion-on-demand in the Republic of Ireland up until 12 weeks, with abortion up until birth allowed if the baby is found to have a life-limiting condition. 

In his message for International Women’s Day on March 8, he justified the idea of teaching transgender ideology, arguing schools should provide “basic information regarding sexuality in the fullest sense,” to children.

...

During Higgins’s third official Papal visit in 2021, Pope Francis expressed his admiration for the leftist Irish President in a formal photocall by saying: “Today, I did not just meet a man, a president; I met a wise man of today. I thank God that Ireland has such a wise man as its Head (of State).”

God gave free will to each of us as individuals. Forced group think, which is what Marxism/socialism/Communism are, is inconsistent with God’s will and contrary to the self determinism that God gave us. Francis appears to be a confused soul, but with that confusion is mixed arrogance. Arrogance is blinding, and IMHO this Pope is blind.

Anyone who thinks Frankie From Argentina is the Vicar of Christ needs their head examined.

Oh, here we have another dangerous phrase, “His heart is in the right place.”
