Pope Francis is undergoing a popularity surge comparable to the way Barack Obama was greeted by the world in 2008. And just as President Obama has been a disappointment for America, Pope Francis will prove a disaster for the Catholic Church.
My fellow Catholics should be suspicious when bastions of anti-Catholicism in the left-wing media are in love with him.
Much is being made of his ‘compassion’ and ‘humility,’ but kissing babies and hugging the sick is nothing new. Every pope in recent memory has done the same, yet only now are the media paying attention. Benedict XVI and John Paul II refused to kowtow to the liberal agenda, and so such displays of tenderness were under-covered.

Nailed it.
Alrighty, someone please tell the rest of us uninformed what egregious act or statement has Pope Francis made or said that merits being compared to a fraud like Obama.
No, he did not nail it. Here’s a keen insight into all of this.

The reasons are legion. Francis has outed himself as a Socialist, Humanist, anti-traditionalist.
I don’t trust him.
Well for one, he recently called for the end of capitalism.
In before the “misunderstood” “misinterpeted” comments.
Aren’t the Pope’s statements interpeted by the Vatican?
That combination is irreconcilable!
You are reading a mistranslation. Check markomalley’s posts
And there was a mistake in the translation.
The exhortation is mostly about evangelization. Have you read it?
The comparison to Obama is over the top. And I say this as someone who has developed no fondness for this Pope yet.
Could this be the false prophet that “glorifies” the Anti-Christ?
Pope Francis is a genuinely good man who is shaking up some of the corruption in the Curia, and revitalizing the Church. If he starts comparing himself to Obama, well, maybe Obama will take the hint and change tack on a few things? (Hey, we can hope).
Me thinks it’s contrived to impart a halo effect to Saint Obama.
The Leftist Press knows no bounds and has no decency.
We should caution our fellow Freepers to be skeptical and question the sources.
Ping for later
Adam Shaw is not a lefty. He’s attacking the Pope from the Right.
