“Naturally, there is concern,” the Holy See’s number three, Monsignor Angelo Becciu, said on the Catholic TV channel TV2000, in response to a question.

”We are builders of bridges, far less of walls, and all Christians should emphatically reaffirm this message.”

Are they concerned about his executive order reinstating the “Mexico City Policy”? Or the fact that his Vice President was the first one to attend the Right to Live march in DC?

Many Americans are “concerned” about the “pope’s” policies.
Having a Marxist pope wasn’t a good idea.

Under this Pope the Church is far more concerned about Social Justice than Baby Murder.

Sad but true. Welcome to the Brave New World.

Thus spake the Pope of Liberation Theology, from behind the walls of his city-state.

The Vatican should have been more concerned about child abuse by priests.

I wish my fellow Catholics would quit peeing in their knickers about a few divorcees receiving Communion and get upset about THIS.

I’m concerned about the Vatican more than I am about Trump. The Vatican is offering up fake hope & change like Obama did, and we see how disastrous that was.

You mean like Western Europe, including Italy, hasn't been able to do?

I would tell the Monsignor and his boss Frankie that they can both KMA. But that wouldn’t be very charitable so I’m just going to skip this thread.

Refugee resettlement programs hand over $1B TAXPAYER dollars to “private charities” to resettle refugees; Trump is cutting off the gravy train. Expect howls of pain from all quarters.
