Pope Francis effectively admits it: He really, really hates Americans
American Thinker ^ | 09/05/2019 | Monica Showalter

Sounding more and more like a politician and less and less like a pope, Pope Francis threw out this one for his American critics who view him as just a bit too political. According to Fox News:

Pope Francis told a reporter on Wednesday it was an "honor" to be the subject of attacks from American religious conservatives and their Catholic allies.

The pope was speaking with French journalist Nicholas Seneze, the author of "How America Wants to Change Popes," when he responded to his American critics while heading to Mozambique for a three-day tour of sub-Saharan Africa.

“It’s an honor that the Americans attack me,” the pontiff told Seneze.

Interesting that he characterized his critics as "the Americans" instead of 'the conservatives.' After all, the U.S. Church (and nearly all U.S. religious denominations) actually do have plenty of leftists -- they're actually dominated by them.

Which goes to show just how coldly he views the USA with all its famous freedoms, calling to mind that like the late Venezuelan socialist dictator Hugo Chavez, he's never spent appreciable time in the U.S. He knows nothing of democracy, other than the Peronist balcony-descamisados kind practiced in Argentina with its famous Argentine economic consequences. The U.S. practice of freely speaking one's mind and questioning authority that's failing unsettles him. He gets mad. If he's the good guy, then someone who criticizes him is the devil, which of course is why it's an 'honor.' The U.S. and all its freedom is a bad place, see, but he'd nevertheless like all the world's illegal migrants he claims to champion to somehow be here.

Lol...

Pope Johnny Paul Deuce had style, though. A seriously good man, who helped to truly change the world.

This current communist clown imposter, however, is the exact opposite.

I am certain Christ did not consider it an honor to be crucified. His words are filled with arrogance, not humility.

The Catholics in America aren’t too happy with this false pope.

This is really testing my faith almost beyond all limits. I attended Catholic school, then, in college, I just stopped attending church (my agnostic phase). Forty years later, after my wife of 30 years died and I moved here and retired, I went back after a long talk with the priest. And now this! If I get through this warped pope with my faith intact, I believe God will be impressed. Is the pope Catholic? Who knows, but at least I can remain certain that a bear poops in the woods. Can’t I?”

That’s cool, Dope Francis. We’re not at all impressed with you, either.

The Lord is our salvation, not the church. The lampstand has been removed from the Catholic church. Trust in God.

He made it clear he has contempt for all Americans - not just conservative Catholics in America.

Though not religious myself, I was raised Catholic. Lemme tell ya Francis, the feeling’s mutual.

Please everyone separate the man from the office/religion. Peter and Judas failed Christ. Say bergoglio is an asc, try to just say Pope vs Pope Francis and separate the jerk from the office. Satan iswinning here and we need to keep focussed.

I think the article linked did not provide the total details. There is a recent book that indicates many in the Catholic Church in the US want him to step down. I don’t think it goes beyond the fact that Pope Francis is not popular with a large part of the Catholic Church in the U.S., the part that actually goes to Mass and has traditionally supported the Papacy financially, i.e Peter’s Pence which is a collection that goes straight to Rome and help Papal initiatives like Mission work in poorer countries, etc. I for one quit giving to it.

Well at least Che Francis has put to rest the idea of Papal Infallibility.
