Recently Lapsed Catholic here..
Sorry, but the Pope is a Socialist @$$.
Its weird seeing so many people feel sorry for spicer on twitter...devout catholic..who didnt get to go to the Vatican..the one thing he wanted to do.
Pope may be a socialist, but the authentic Magisterium and Jesus are not!
Do not ever let any Catholic all the way up to a Pope drive you away from those elements of the Church
I love POTUS all the more for his gracious behavior when the pope was so negative and when the pope gave him that ridiculous gift. Pope Francis may have smiled near the end of the visit, but his distasteful expression at the beginning is forever photographed for history.
Anyone know if you are limited to a certain number of guests when you meet the pope. Cant figure out why catholic spicer was refused a spot..unless he truly is on the way out.
a gift Pope Francis gave to President Donald Trump a CD of the popes 2015 encyclical on climate change.
Sounds familiar.
I think President Trump threw them in the garbage on his way out of the Vatican...rightfully so!!!
The Pope is currently Benedict, who resigned with the aim of maintaining some portion of the Petrine Office; ergo, by Canon Law, this resignation committed a substantial error, and was thus rendered void.
Benedict is still the rightful Pope. And he will go down as one of the worst for letting Antipope Bergoglio run rampant and sow confusion amongst the faithful.
Trump was raised as a Catholic?
The Pope Just Body-Shamed Donald Trump

One of the biggest problems with my Church is that they have layer upon layer of bureaucrats whose sole job is to generate lame excuses for the stupid things they do.
Did he give 1 or both? Who knows.
"Laudato si'" (Praise be to you - On Care For Our Common Home) is not only about climate change, but about man as steward, starting with Genesis.
Being a devout Catholic, I've read it, and was underimpressed. He's not a theologian in the fashion B16 is.
