Pope Francis has criticized certain conservative factions within the US Catholic Church, stating that they’ve replaced genuine faith with rigid ideology. He emphasized that a proper interpretation of Roman Catholic doctrine permits adaptation and change as time goes on.
Pope Francis’ words highlighted the long-standing divisions within the US Catholic Church, which mainly consist of progressive and conservative factions fighting each other. Controversies have often centered around contentious issues like abortion and same-gender marriage.

However, for Catholics, he states 'that a proper interpretation of Roman Catholic doctrine permits adaptation and change as time goes on.'
You know, things like gay marriage and acceptance of abortion.
If he is not the Anti-Pope, then none will ever exist.
I left the Catholics decades ago. Glad I did.

“Christianity in America Is Just a Money Making Scheme”: Pope Slams American Catholics for Turning Faith into a Cash Cow and Ideological Circus

What does he know about Christianity?
He should have said...
CATHOLICISM in America Is Just a Money Making Scheme.
I got kicked out. Second best thing that ever happened to me in my life, the first being I was able to be born again through Jesus Christ, which would have never happened if I didn’t get kicked out.
will no-one rid us of this meddlesome priest???
Obviously, Satan has a foothold inside the Vatican.
Pope Soros.
As someone who was raised Catholic went to Sunday school, confirmation, etc etc.
Screw this commie argie bastard. I consider it an honor to be criticized by this pope.
How much wealth is the Vatican sitting on?
How blind can anyone be.
As the Catholic Church takes in billions and billions of dollars for refugee resettlement. And Bergoglio stood at the Mexican border and said candidate Trump wasn’t a Christian for proposing a secure border that would cut those billions.
Francis reminds me of a song...

He’s a walking contradiction
Partly truth and partly fiction

Only I don’t think Francis is headed home.
He leads astray.
According to Michael Savage both the Christians and Jews abandon going to services if they hear tough talk about right and wrong, sin and so on instead of sweet things about charity (by higher taxes). Harsh talk about abortions killing pre-born babies or euthanasia killing older people being wrong turns donations off. Empty coffers hurt the bottom line. So keep the right and wrong stuff out.
So Americans should cut off the cash cow flow to him.
Says the man who eats off gold plates
will no-one rid us of this meddlesome priest???
“Arise, O Lord, and judge your own cause…Listen to our prayers, for foxes have arisen seeking to destroy the vineyard whose winepress you alone have trod...The wild boar from the forest seeks to destroy it and every wild beast feeds upon it.”

I love how the media calls abortion and same-sex marriage “contentious issues” rather than what they really are, mortal sins.
The Church is not contending between “factions” to redefine these sins as something good. They will remain mortal sins in the eyes of God until the end of time. The Pope’s job is to hold the line here no matter what. Times may change but God’s Law doesn’t.
Ditto.
This pope dude is a gay loving, Communist masquerading as a holy man.
As the new president of Argentina says, Francis is a communist plain and simple. He certainly is not the leader of the Catholic Church.
