White smoke at the Vatican. A new Pope has been selected!

You don’t think the Catholic Church could do with a bit of reform?

I cannot stand FOX anymore. I haven’t for some time.

Social Justice
Comunione e Liberazione
Bergoglio has supported the social justice ethos of Latin American Catholicism, including a robust defense of the poor.

“We live in the most unequal part of the world, which has grown the most yet reduced misery the least,” Bergoglio said during a gathering of Latin American bishops in 2007. “The unjust distribution of goods persists, creating a situation of social sin that cries out to Heaven and limits the possibilities of a fuller life for so many of our brothers.”

sounds good to me and how the like sof the American media will cry that he;s not wanting homosexuality,, their sham marriage, abortion etc

[Uncle Miltie]

(Wikipedia changed the title from “Cardinal” to “Pope Francis” while I was on site...)

I’m curious as to the removal of posts as this is not a caucus thread. While I tend to be ‘Catholic friendly’ and even allowed on caucus threads, if there was an issue, shouldn’t it be a caucus thread?

“Well they are saying on the radio that his parents immigrated from Italy to Argentina.

So he is actually Italian —”

Smooth move on the Vatican’s part.

[ColdOne]

Yes it does. We will see.

[manc]

he;s a traditional Catholic thankfully no accpeting the crap like the American media would want, he opposed homosexual marriage in his country which pissed off their President \

[Admin Moderator]

There is a time and a place for such things. This was neither.

[diamond6]

Really?!!

[D-fendr]

The media were hoping for Richard Dawkins.

[reg45]

A modernist could be Pope Benedict Arnold.

Guess whose going to be in a hissy fit! www.pinknews.co.uk (link):

"Catholic cardinal {Bergoglio} says gay marriage in Argentina is the work of the devil"

TOUGH LUCK!

[Windcatcher]

Ah, I was wondering why his last name looked Italian.

[ColdOne]

we actually it depends on what. The priest scandal is still a issue for me. Oh I am catholic.

[Hoodat]

[maica]

Is it true that he was or is a Jesuit?? That would not be good news.

****

Scary news! Liberation theology, aka communism, is one of their bedrock principles.

[reegs]

Does this send a chill up anyone's spine? The leader of the Jesuits is known as the "Black Pope?" More here.
