It's a quagmire being Catholic just now. How do we uphold our faith in the one true
Church, while a troubling person is head? Of course our Catholic faith remains
untarnished, as Holy Mother Church remains untarnished. But in our discussions with
those on the outside, there simply is no defense of the politicization of the papacy;
it is a scandal.

I agree, but at the same time, the media is only reporting what the pope says when it suits their agenda, and they are not above a ridiculous headline that has nothing to do with what he says. Of course he should shut up about economics and global warming, subjects he knows next to nothing about. There was a post the other day that ‘Pope says athiests may go to heaven. In reality he said something to the order that God’s mercy was infinite and that non believers should obey their conscience. It has always been the Church’s teaching that they don’t know who is going to heaven, that is God’s domain. The headline was quite literally, bullshit.

Don’t worry about outsiders.

When you have a problem Pope, read the Bible a lot and grab hold of Jesus. Talk to Him. Learn to let Him lead you. He knows you and loves you very much.
