Pope Francis’ only ‘real audience’ at U.S. embassy was with former gay student and his partner

This is what the MSM should have published.

BTW, I meant the InsideTheVatican article. Also, I assume the Pope is cunningly wise.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I’ve tried to understand how and why this man became our pope, but I simply can’t.

OK, because the Vatican Hierarchy went queer, couldn't stand Pope Benedict and threw him out on his ass.

Now they have this faggot-loving baby-killer.

Doesn’t sound like something he’d say, without an explanation.

Vatican Source: Pope Blindsided By Meeting With Controversial Kentucky Clerk

Pope Francis appears to support Kim Davis in plane interview: video

Yes, saying he regrets the meeting does not sound like this Pope. Wonder why the source didn’t want to be named.

[NetAddicted]

Is he miraged?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Couldn’t be the “unnamed source” was lying, could it?

[DoodleDawg]

Grassi also told CNN that he believes the pope was “misled” into meeting with Davis.

By who? Meeting with both would not be contradictory. The Pope is concerned with what is happening to marriage and the family, so meeting with Kim Davis would not be out of place. He also could meet with a former student without approving of his relationship.

I feel the pain of Roman Catholics. It has been many years since you had a Pope who was not perceived as a stalwart for conservative Catholics. The firm stances of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI had the effect not only of mobilizing Roman Catholics but also attracting significant numbers of frustrated Protestants who saw their own churches falling into liberalism.

I'm not going to level attacks on the current pope because I don't know what he believes. Right now I don't think anyone knows for sure what the pope believes outside of his closest circles. That is not good for anyone who cares about biblical truth, whether inside or outside of the Roman Catholic Church. Uncertain trumpets do not mobilize forces; on the contrary, they invite attack from enemies who are always probing for weaknesses and opportunities.

Whatever Pope Francis does or does not believe, he's permitting a perception not only to take root but also to blossom that says the Pope wants to be more loving and more gentle, not only to sinners who fail to obey church teaching but also to people who disagree with church teaching.

The first might or might not be a good thing. Pastoral wisdom requires telling the difference between a repentant sinner and an obstinate evildoer, and that is not always easy to know. The second — tolerating those who want to tear down the church from the inside — is always wrong.

As a Protestant, I know what I believe is the solution to such problems. That solution is not available to Roman Catholics.

If your church is what your church doctrine says it is, God will take care of the problem for you since no human authority exists which is able to do so.

All I can do as an outsider is to pray for Roman Catholics. Your church has, for at least two generations since the 1960s, been the strongest force in America fighting abortion, as well as fighting for traditional values in many other areas. In a lot of other parts of the world, the same has been true.

I will be very unhappy if that changes.
