Man, are you wrong. Disapproval for that denomination's leader is about 4%, among his Catholics that live in the United States.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis was about to take a major step backing the science behind human-driven global warming, and Philippe de Larminat was determined to change his mind.
A French doubter who authored a book arguing that solar activity — not greenhouse gases — was driving global warming, de Larminat sought a spot at a climate summit in April sponsored by the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Nobel laureates would be there. So would U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs and others calling for dramatic steps to curb carbon emissions.
fter securing a high-level meeting at the Vatican, he was told that, space permitting, he could join. He bought a plane ticket from Paris to Rome. But five days before the April 28 summit, de Larminat said, he received an e-mail saying there was no space left. It came after other scientists — as well as the powerful Vatican bureaucrat in charge of the academy — insisted he had no business being there.
“They did not want to hear an off note,” de Larminat said.
It marked the latest blow for those seeking to stop the reform-minded train that has become Francis’s papacy. It is one that has reinvigorated liberal Catholics even as it has sowed the seeds of resentment and dissent inside and outside the Vatican’s ancient walls. . .

Argentinians don’t regard themselves as Latino, but rather as Europeans with better dance moves.
What is the best deal you can make in this life?
To buy an Argentinian for what he’s worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth.
What is ego?
Ego is the little Argentine inside each of us.
God is creating the different countries. He says to Gabriel, “Here’s a good one: lots of rich land, beautiful high mountains, great beaches, verdant forests and a wide variety of climates and animals. What do you think?” Gabriel replies, “But that’s so much to give to one place!” “It’s ok,” say God, “I’ll fill it with Argentines.”
There is more real science showing the humanity of the baby in the womb than there is about global warming. We should begin calling pro-aborts “deniers”.
The Catholic Curch cannot be destroyed. It has been through tougher times than these. The Pope has not yet taken a stand or made statements going against the teachings of the church regarding abortion and homosexuality. If that ever happens, then there will be a schism, but the real Church would emerge victorious.
nope. you’re confusing admiration for the man with agreeing with his politics. US Catholics are NOT 96% supportive of or neutral about his politics. there are lots of Catholics who vote republican. many of those same Catholics may also feel that he’s a decent man who has been chosen to lead the church.
I’m not confusing anything, I said “The Pope holds the typical Catholic politics”, and he does.
The majority of Catholics vote democrat, his views are typical for Catholics.
“History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.” Just ask Nicolaus Copernicus.
I want to see the actions of American Catholics (Mass attendance, donations), not lip service; I suspect that this Pope has about 2% approval rating.
Just as Hillary channeled Eleanor Roosevelt, this Pope is channeling John Paul II and expounding upon it....
Man, are you wrong. Disapproval for that denomination's leader is about 4%, among his Catholics that live in the United States.
Oh, I saw the numbers...Tell me, are the number of Catholic baptisms up? Conversions? Are Sunday attendance/collections improving? Outside of lip service (which is free), is there any indication that he is any more popular than Vladimir Putin?
Excellent point!
I don’t get your point?
You just don’t want to accept a poll asking the Catholics, about their Pope, and you want someone instead to poll American Catholics on what they think of Putin?
The poll shows that his flock loves their Pope, that is the purpose of the poll, to find out what his popularity level is among his American members and evidently only 3% think that he represents major change for the worse.
Most Catholics are lefties, so why would they have a problem with his democrat party politics?
Rush reading from this article on Monday morning.
Yes. Later in the article on the Wash. Compost website that point is made clear.
