“I wanted to hear what the Church believed in her own words”

The official position of the Catholic Church is contained in the doctrine of the Church, not what Francis and his merry band of modernists want would like for it to say. Francis attacking Catholic doctrine is attacking Christ.

Francis attacking Catholic doctrine is attacking Christ.

I pretty strongly disagree with that one. I attack Catholic doctrine all the time because it does not reflect the Christ of the bible nor what the bible teaches.

On a side note, my father in law has been a Catholic all of his 87 years. His family attended mass DAILY for decades. They love their church. But he is at death and he is afraid he is lost because of how he treated his parents as a teenager.

Apparently he didn’t learn much about the actual teaching of Christ in all those meetings. It’s either on him or on the church he was attending. And, come to think of it, my wife’s deceased first husband’s dad (92) has similar issues. He also was a lifelong Catholic.

Yet none of the “practicing” evangelical Christians I’ve known who were old and/or close to death had such concerns. Not a one. In fact, one was given a year to live (He had cancer at about 50) and praised God and looked forward to going home until the day he died. Many accused him of being in denial and he’d “lose it” in the end. He never did.

Judge a tree by its fruit.

[pope] Fancis attacking (Catholic doctrine is attacking) Christ.

SOP, happens all the time in Catholicism.

Popes love Mary though.
