There’s so much self contradiction in Pope Francis that it’s hard to say what is method and what is madness.

Cruz will name him his Secretary of HHS after he loses Indiana Tuesday night.

He seems to be alright with the destruction of Christianity. He’s chosen Islam above Christianity. Crazy.

He was provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina, and they describe what he left behind as “chaos,” which, decades later, has not been fully repaired. The Archdiocese of Buenos Aires was a crumbling shambles, with no vocations, and Communion for Everybody, when he was elected Pope.

This year, with the Muslim-foot-kissing, and the scolding of Europeans and Americans who don’t want to live under Sharia, and with the latest document, which brazenly undermines the Church’s teaching, mostly in the footnotes, he has jumped the shark. At last, his hands ARE dirty. People see he is just an ordinary anti-Western South American cleric, signed onto to the globalist, enviro-genocide, Muslim-Marxist project.

The episcopacy is too corrupt to reform itself, and too corrupt to cleanse the Papacy—of its courtiers OR it occupant.

Something or someone from outside the hierarchy and outside the Church will be the agent of cleansing.

It’s really scary how opaque the goings-on in other countries are, especially to us Americans, who are mostly mono-lingual.

Interesting. The *Jesuits* describe what Jorge Bergoglio left behind in Buenos Aires as “chaos”?

Am I to conclude from this that the Argentine Jesuits think Bergoglio is bad news? They do not approve of Pope Francis?

If they are liberals, perhaps they approve of Pope Francis.

But he played favorites. He surrounded himself with liberals, and exiled “conservative.” He encouraged bitter rivalries. He did the same as Archbishop. He has done the same as Pope.

All the crap about “dialogue” and “openness” is a pose. He talks only to liberals. He reads only liberals. He makes phone calls to his critics, but only to promote the lie that he is all about “openness” and “dialogue.”

And he throws tantrums when he is opposed, with insults and profanity.

“I’d would love to now who was behind Pope Benedict stepping down”

I don't pretend to know what goes on behind the scenes at the Vatican.

But Pope Benedict's explanation that age and health issues were the reason for his decision makes sense to me.

Thanks for the information.

The article was not about abortion or homosexuality.

The author is concerned about the assault on Christianity and western civilization by leftist totalitarians and Jihadists. The author feels that Pope Francis is helping the enemies of Christianity and western values by shaming faithful Catholics who want to defend and protect their way of life.

“Am I to conclude from this that the Argentine Jesuits think Bergoglio is bad news? They do not approve of Pope Francis?”

I recall stuff about all the libs down there being hot that he didn’t protect the ultra-lib liberation guys better or something from the state?

But then I saw stuff like they were now all for him, more recently. Who the hell knows. The office of the Papacy has had two Popes in the era of instant mass social media so far. One resigned, the other can’t seem to speak with charitable clarity.

The author was not attacking Catholics or Catholicism.

The author is concerned about the assault on Christianity and western civilization by totalitarian leftists and Muslims. The author feels that Pope Francis is helping those trying to destroy western civilization by shaming faithful Catholics who want to defend and protect their way of life.

The Pope is a Apostolic man of God...truly ordained by the Holy Spirit. He represents Jesus Christ and the Gospels of Jesus. His message of love and mercy is spot on and those who twist and distort his message should be wary of their own temptations.

Detective - thank you. You're right about the theme of the article.

I was responding to what savagesusie's expectation that Pope Francis would "usher in the One World Religion of Satanism (Luciferean Rites of sodomy/baby-killing (sacrifice) /divorce)."

The quote I shared had a different angle on that.
