I’ll admit I have questions about the faith of Pope Francis, which seems, if not weak, at least different from that of the Catholic tradition.

He’s not Catholic. He’s not Christian. What he is the false pope.

No, Pope Francis is a bog-standard South American social justice Catholic of the variety that the Roman Catholic Church has babied and tolerated for going on forty years now.

Stop trying to pin your stinkers on Protestants. Bergoglio has always been firmly clamped on the teat of your mother church.

He wants to give Holy Communion to you. So he is one of yours already.

Is the Pope Catholic?

It used to be just a rhetorical question.

Now, who knows?

He’s your Pope, you are not in obedience, therefore you are at a minimum schismatic if not heretic. No Pope has any authority over me real or imagined. He does over you, however you may try to weasel out of the appearance of rebellion.

If he’s a commie plant he was grown in a South American greenhouse owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Church and it’s full of a whole bunch of other commie plants exactly like him. Why, might one ask, would the Roman Catholic Church be elevating such individuals through the hierarchy, and all the way to Pope? It doesn’t seem as if the faithful within her are capable of answering that question in a realistic manner.

If he’s not Catholic, he can’t be a pope.

Well, then, you just answered your own implied question.

He’s Pope, ergo he’s Catholic.

Why did Jesus select Judas as one of His twelve apostles?

Do not question God.

He’s Roman Catholic through and through, otherwise he’d not be Pope. Bergoglio is not a Lutheran of any stripe. Martin Luther would have spat on him.

Seems you’re the one questioning God here, ebb tide. Why did God choose Bergoglio to be the purported Vicar of Christ on Earth?

There’s only one answer and it doesn’t bode well for Rome. Come out of her.

The first question has to be, is he a Christian. Settle that one before we move to any others.

So says the non-Catholic.
