She was converted by Pope Francis? She’s “becoming a Catholic”? She’ll eventually have to make up her mind.

As you say. It doesn’t sound as if Pope Francis had anything to do with it. The headline is just intended to confuse things.

God bless her and help her. She will need it in her world.

I must have missed something. Did she mention the Pope?

Eventually she joined a Bible study, an experience that changed her life.That will do it...
I can't believe the animosity toward her on this thread...
Getting mature in your walk with Christ is a lifelong endeavor...
I'm just grateful she is brave enough to proclaim her testimony in an very hostile arena...
How many of you people judging her would at your next employee meeting give your testimony?

Again I ask: did she make any reference to the Pope? Well, she might have, or not. But not in print, anyway. Not that I’ve seen.

She'll continue to be an ally of Evangelicals. She'll continue to be a defender of unborn babies She'll continue slamming the White House.
Prayer, the Lord, the Sacraments.
So purty, too.
"Welcome, Kirsten Powers!"

As you say. It doesnt sound as if Pope Francis had anything to do with it. A case of unintentional consequences. Google Kirsten Powers and Pope Francis, to see the influence he had on her decision.

I just listed to her on a re-run of yesterday’s “The Five.” She said, as close as I can remember: “Tomorrow at 7pm I am becoming a Catholic. Ten years ago I found Evangelical Christianity.”
That was it, just a simple statement. No mention of the current or any Pope.
I’m guessing that Friday’s “the five” is available on the fox news channel for listening to.

Based on pope-a-dope? She is lost for sure.
Read the story, not the headline. There's nothing in there crediting Pope Francis. I have been to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in the Bronx, and it was a good church in the '90s. They had a regular traditional Latin Mass there, generally a good sign.

Think on the positive...and pray for her growth as a Christian.
Often when we notice a possibility like that....we are actually being called to do something about it. Prayer is a powerful thing.

Plastic “Christian” becomes plastic catholic.
Give her a plastic star.

OK, a conversion to the conservative side will complete her transformation.
To: oh8eleven
I wonder how many faithful Catholic are leaving the Church after Pope Francis embraced and called to his side the leaders of the Marxist liberation theology, a heresy condemned by John Paul II and Benedict following the Magisterium of the Church's condemnation of socialism from Pope Leo XIII to Benedict XVI.
We saw the real Pope Francis during his peregrination to honor Fidel Castro, Cuba's murderous tyrant.
Lovely encounter among comrades
Francis ask Fidel for his blessing and prayers

Welcome home, Kirsten.
