VATICAN CITY—In an honest, impromptu homily delivered Monday, Pope Francis admitted he is just making most of his theology up as he goes, ignoring thousands of years of official Church doctrine in favor of “whatever pops into my head at the time.”
Where past Popes have been careful in their attempts to stay in line with official Catholic teaching, Pope Francis confessed he doesn’t really know much official doctrine, stating that he’s more of a “shoot from the hip kind of guy” when it comes to weighty topics of morality, salvation, God, and eternity.
“People ask me questions, and I’m not always sure what to say, so honestly I’m just winging it,” the Pope said in his candid, unscheduled address. “This job is really hard, when you think about it. Trying to be the Vicar of Christ and deal with everybody’s complicated theological questions all at the same time? Ugh. It gives me a headache. So I just start talking. Even I’m surprised with what comes out sometimes.”
“I just want everyone to know about, like, love and God and stuff,” he added thoughtfully before beginning to take questions from those gathered in the Sistine Chapel, with the Pope signing off on Christian fornication, adultery, and polygamy during the short impromptu Q&A session.
At publishing time, frantic Catholic leadership had located the Pope and tackled him to the ground to prevent him from saying anything further.
ha, ha, ha, ha good one!
He should be bounced, yesterday!!
It’s somewhat terrifying how close to the truth this satirical piece is. :-/

Hey Pope, you might try actually reading The Bible, pray and meditate on it, understand it, before you open your mouth. You don’t have to make stuff up.
Satire is dead.
He’s too busy with politics, promoting left wing politics, to be concerned with small things like the Bible. Fool.......
The hell you say! What do we expect from a Jesuit?
Posted on 9/29/2014, 3:38:42 PM by Jim RobinsonNo, FR is not trying to quash satire. However, it should be clearly labeled as such in the title. Some people seem to think it's great trickling our readers into falling for satire. It's not. A lot of people come to FR and scan the headlines clicking on articles of interest. If they're not familiar with the author or source, they may be misled and may even pass it on to others. No thanks.
If you post satire, please label it as "satire' in the title.
Thanks
I love this guy anyway
He is VERY Christ like
He really cares about the poor and has lived among them most of his life
That is what a pope a vicar of Christ is supposed to be like
John paul II clealry will never have a match. He was AWESOME

Exactly. If only this Pope (and all Popes) realized there was a book delivered “once for all” outlining Christianity and that their man-made dogma was - well - SINFUL.
RIGHT! Because Jesus was ALWAYS going on about Global Warming and how Gays and Transexuals are a-okay in his book! Jesus even warned us there was no actual Hell!
Doesn’t everyone make up things as they go? So what’s new?
No.
They don’t.
Oy. I admit that I laughed. Mea culpa.
“infallible”
It is to many on this thread.
Is Pope Francis related to Cheech Marin?
I only say this, because this is not under the “catholic vanity” banner .....
“Why hasn’t ‘somebody done this thing, for the good of the family’?”
It’s very difficult to invent lunacy that’s loonier than reality. Even when you manage it, many people can’t tell the difference; fictional lunacy and real-world lunacy are too similar.
This begs the question, Is the Pope catholic???
