With all due respect to this board (and I am Catholic), but I find this man to be very non-Catholic much less Pope like.
He seems to work against the USA, Capitalism, civility and old fashioned family values.
I think this guy is going to make EX-Catholics out of lots of people.
No - he is making the church ex-catholic.
I would never leave the Church because of this MAN.
He will soon be gone, the Church remains.
If things don’t change after that...then I leave the Church and maintain all the doctrine that was the Church. I’m sad.
According to Catholic reports, the author of the gay friendly book wrote to the Pope. The Pope did not respond, directly. The Vatican sent a perfunctory reply to the author. End of story. The contents are unknown but presumably a “thank you” for her note was included.
I’m no fan of Pope Francis, in the worldly sense, but this was easy to source and so it’s hurtful to see a thread full of Pope bashing when in this one case he does not appear to be guilty and may not even know about it.

Yes, including me. Certainly don’t wish to do so.
