VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Francis warned against what he called a "virus of polarization" and hostility in the world targeting people with different nationalities, races or beliefs, as he led a ceremony Saturday giving the Roman Catholic Church 17 new cardinals from six continents.
The consistory ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica formally inducted the churchmen into the cardinals' ranks.
Francis used his homily to caution the new "princes of the church," as cardinals are sometimes called, to guard against animosity creeping into the church as well, saying "we are not immune from this."
The pope spoke of "our pitiful hearts that tend to judge, divide, oppose and condemn" and cautioned somberly against those who "raise walls, build barriers and label people."

The Four Cardinals have identified five heretical propositions that Bergoglio is teaching.
By refusing to respond to their five questions, Bergoglio has convicted himself of heresy.
Stay out of our politics, Francis, or else we’ll tax the Church as a political organization.
The virus of polarization started on the left. Marx was hateful, and called for violent revolution (while being a hypocrite). We are less than a century from a time when Jews were targeted for genocide in Europe, a sentiment shared then and now by the same Islamic zealots that the Pope is defending now. I loved John Paul I and II. I will pray for this one.
