Pope Francis Was No Friend Of The Poor

“lame attempts to trash Mother”

I invite folks to not only accuse but also convince readers that the authors and the reports they cite are lame.

How do we know the Pope’s intentions?

After looking at some of his pictures, I started calling him Pope angry. The only way he would smile is by putting a communist to pose next to him. It was truly embarrassing for Catholics that they chose such a troubled person as their leader.

Pope Francis was a POS period. Prove me wrong as they say.

He did nothing right.

Just read your own report. I've seen enough attempts at character assassination to recognize them when I see them. There is no "there" in it. No solid testimony of wrong-doing from eyewitnesses. Just vague distortions and slanted wording to create a sort of vague impression without actually having any real smoking gun.

This is a lady who spent endless hours caring for people under really crappy conditions and doing so very selflessly. I'm not defending her because I'm Catholic (I'm not and never will be). I'm just disgusted by the sleazy character assassins that feel threatened by her so they have to try to tear her down rather than admit their own hypocrisy. They are really sick in the head and the slanted crap they write says more about their own moral failings than anything about their intended victim.

One of the reviews says that her service to the poor was more about converting them to Christianity than physical help (paraphrasing).

Even in death, he is virtue signaling by being buried in a “plain wooden coffin” which is being emphasized by the synchronized media.

The two go hand in hand. What is the point of feeding a person for a day if they go on to hellfire? To feed them without giving them the Gospel is in effect an act of hatred.

If you think you can stand justified before God on Judgment day, understand that no one is without sin, and thus we all deserve condemnation. Every religion out there has a bunch of rules to follow (including atheists who don't think of themselves as having a religion) but none have the answer for the inevitable question: what happens when we fail to follow the rules? Even Islam teaches they don't know if Mohammed is in paradise due to this problem. Only through Christ's sacrifice to cover our sins is there a solution to our fallen state.
