You do not approve of Catholics?

I'm not sure how you've gotten that from anything I've written.

My issue is entirely with what the pope has said, and I don't believe it is an accident, naivete, or mistranslation. He is an intelligent man from an elite order surrounded by the elite of his church. This was not done casually, and he understands full well the tremendously damaging uses to which his pronouncements can be put and carefully backs them off -- as all Leftist weasels do -- whenever there is any pushback. That's 100% of my position.

I have both Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholics in my family, and quite possibly the fastest way to get yourself a punch in the mouth is to refer to the Orthodox as a "sect."

The pope is/has become a socialist, living in Argentina, so no, his encyclical is not accidental at all. I think it borders on the apostate, but that is just my opinion.

I’ve been to a Maronite church a few times, and to church with a friend who belongs to the Greek Orthodox church-I’ve used the word “sect” when talking about our respective churches, and he didn’t say it was offensive-probably being polite-so thanks for telling me it offends.

If a major schism happens over all this, I would not be surprised at all-and I doubt church historians will deal kindly with Francis, whether that happens or not...
