I don’t see anything good happening in the immediate future. I haven’t wanted to criticize the pope, but it’s reached a point where he seems to be...I’m not sure what.

I've refrained in the past from criticizing him, but he flat out blew his chance yesterday. And if this is how he was in front of Congress, where he would have had significant support for condemning abortion and homosexuality, I shudder to think how deferential he probably was in private with Obama.

It’s what happens when people place their hopes on a man and not Christ.

That's a good point. Obama certainly seemed unusually welcoming to him, which concerns me.

[American Faith Today]

Or when you refer to a man chosen by other men as a Holy Father.

Obama had a bunch of homosexual Catholics at the White House when the Pope visited and this was known in advance. The Pope SHOULD have refused to go if they were there.

Pope Francis has me confused. I don't understand what he is trying to accomplish.

[wagglebee]

Part of me fears that he hopes to accomplish the same thing in the Church that Obama is trying to accomplish in America.

[trisham]

Obama seems to find him to be a kindred soul.

Using the language set by the left is deceptive. Abortion is the in utero murder of the defenseless and innocent. And, there is nothing gay about a couple of queers, the males of which are coprophiliacs, getting married. The pervert alliance was kicked to the closet a thousand years ago for molesting children and spreading diseases and they have yet to change their disgusting habits. Stop helping them by using their language. Please.

[Neoliberalnot]

Evil leaders led by the devil make their way into every faith.

[xzins]

I didn’t

[Neoliberalnot]

Indeed, I stand corrected.
