If the Pope is willing to pray to Mary and to believe a bunch of lying kids who said they saw her appear, to believe that corrupt church traditions trump God's Word and to believe that communion elements actually become the body and blood of Christ in the body, he'll believe anything.

Of course, most catholics believe anything that comes from the Magisterium when the Magisterium stops their depraved activities long enough to babble a few laughable banalities.

This is the type of thing a person who isn’t a Bible-believing “Christian” would come up with. For a Jesuit who shot up the ranks when and where Bergoglio did, this should probably be considered a mild statement.

Judging by this guy’s track record so far, he’ll keep exposing himself the more he opens his mouth which is a good thing. The church isn’t a bunch of buildings owned by a certain religious sect, it’s the body of true believers who can attend services at any number of different denominations or perhaps not attend any formal services at all.

I’m Catholic and it pains me so to hear someone who I am “presuming” to be Christian to project so much hate (Satan loves such division among the religions).

I hope that the Lord will soften your heart, please read John 6:43-68, which I believe explains why we Catholics believe that the Holy Eucharist is the body of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

The Pope doesn’t pray “to” Mary; he simple asks her to pray for him.

Ever ask anyone to pray for you? Same thing.

Why are you, a non-Catholic, trying to tell us what the Magisterium does or doesn’t do?

In my mind, your accusations don’t hold water.

If you’re not a Catholic what gives you the right to say anything about the Catholic Church? Criticize your own faith and clean it up.
