We’ve been hearing it from the atheists for decades. We’ve been hearing it from the legions of the hypocritical politically correct, but how many of us ever thought we’d ever hear these words from a Bishop of Rome:
“Christmas is a charadeâ€. (Pope Francis, Nov. 12, 2015)
We can image the loud cheers being sent up from the secular world at the pontiff’s bullseye shot at the heart at Christmas, because it comes from a source that was least expected on the eve of Advent 2015.
Francis, or Bergoglio is the charade.
He is the head of a new religion promulgated by cafeteria Catholics relying on laity stupidity.
Pass it on....
May God send us a genuinely Catholic pope ans as soon as possible!
Well Christ was born probably nearer to Easter and Christmas is more of a marketing ploy than it is about Christ so he may be right in that regard.
In traditional Catholicism, what the secular world has come to accept as the “Christmas season” isn’t really a festive season at all. Christmas Day is the FIRST day of a Christmas season that doesn’t officially end until February 2nd, not the culmination of a month-long buying spree that has nothing to do with the birth of Christ.
Good article. Wish we had “America Free Press”.
“During all of World War II, which claimed more lives than any other conflict in modern history, Pope Pius XII never claimed Christmas was only a charade. No pontiff ever cast a shadow on lights, parties,Christmas trees and Nativity Scenes.
Pope Francis is a charade, apostate, and dangerous.
Wake up, Catholics!
Thanks for misrepresenting what the Pope means. Calumny is also a sin.
Catholicism is a charade,
He should be a great embarrassment for Catholics
And Christians
His childish simple radical comments are unworthy for the papacy
Most likely that will happen, as Pope Francis is not far from turning 80,
Translation, look for him to step down once he reaches 80.
I think we can discern what this pope means...
"Today Jesus weeps as well: because we have chosen the way of war, the way of hatred, the way of enmities. We are close to Christmas: there will be lights, there will be parties, bright trees, even Nativity scenes - all decked out - while the world continues to wage war. The world has not understood the way of peace."
Just another pedophile priest posing as a pope. He’s an extreme left-wing liberal.
He should look in the mirror for the face of hate.
Protestantism is a heresy.
No you cant. He is the only one besides Putin that has called out the world for ignoring the slaughter of Christians, which by the way are Catholic. That’s right those Christians in Iraq being killed are Catholic not Protestant.
I’m pretty sure that Just like Mohhamed, Luther Calvin Wesley, Cranmer, Henry VIII, Elizabeth et al. and the other great deceiver are hanging out in hell.
By “we” I suppose he means the entire world. However, he only speaks for Catholics. If he’s suggesting, therefore, that Catholics, his constituency as well as his “flock,” is the group favoring war, maybe he should step down lest his Papacy become a charade. It’s already hovering perilously close to it as it now stands. And by the way to Frank: We will celebrate Christmas with or without your approval.
