Bye bye, frank.
I printed this 11 pages out last night, got myself a drink and read the whole thing. He hits the problem smack dab on the head. I would encourage everyone to take the time to read it. You won’t be sorry.
The Marxist Francis undertook a coup against the rightful Pope Bennedict.
The Vatican leaks have shown that Bennedict was blackmailed and threatened into resignation. The ill health excuse doesn’t wash as he has enjoyed outstanding health since his forced “retirement”
Francis is not working for God, he is working for the Serpent
Francis is the Obama of the Papacy.
He never should be elected. Benedict deserved to live out his term, not that he would have been more proactive on abuse, but at least he would be less proactive on socialism and climate.
The Church needs reform now. Especially on abuse, celibacy and female clergy.
It’s getting to the point where I have to hold my nose when I enter Church.
Folks, these people do more damage to the Christian faith than all of the atheists and Christian haters combined. Pure evil because our religious leaders are entrusted with great power and people are vulnerable to what they say and do.
Same goes for crooked televangelists.
It gives nonbelievers an excuse to not believe or skeptical Christians to turn away and choose Islam.
BTW, I am a Christian.
Believe the homosexuals would rather see the Church destroyed than give up their hold on it. An honorable man would resign.
I hear the boy scouts can use a few troop leaders.

If the church doesnt deal with the pervos the Govt will.
If the laity doesn’t rise up over this, the laity is condoning institutionalized sexual predation within the Church.
Bttt.

Pope's are called to serve at God's pleasure, and He is the only one who is supposed to end their service. If Francis is forced out (as opposed to limited in his role in the Church, in some way), the next Pope will be openly mocked from Day One and be a powerless figurehead. The Cardinals, it seems to me, would be likely to either seize power or exert their influence as strongly as possible within their own spheres, while resisting the direction of the Vatican.
tl;dr: tough times for the Church and the Papacy ahead.
