I forgot to add this. The Pope is a total advocate of open borders but will not give refugee to a persecuted christian woman whom could well die via Muslim Sharia courts. Is The Pope a true christian of faith? Is he even a christian? I do not know what the hell he is, but without doubt he is not a reflection of the past Catholic Church! He is an abomination on my church! His presence in St. Peters Cathedral is a stain on my “once great church.”

If he is a committed Marxist, which I think he is, his actions make 100% total logic. If he can destroy my once great church he has advanced a Marxist political agenda.

According to dogma, The Pope is infallible as he is supposed to be a messenger of God. My church got this part wrong!

‘tne pope is an advocate for open borders”...

So Francis finally took down Vatican City’s walls and sent the Swiss guards away?

The pope is not infallible on everything he decrees. Just on specific decrees

Francis is indeed acting hypocritically, but as you probably know and other RCs will tell you, according to dogma, the Pope is only held to be infallible in formally defining a matter of faith or morals for the whole church to keep, to which RCs are to render the strongest form of submission, assent of faith.

When her bishops are gathered together and in union with papa likewise define a matter of faith or morals for the whole church to keep then such decrees are also held to be infallible.

Whereby Rome presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares.

Truly your church got this part wrong! For nowhere in Scripture was this perpetual magisterial infallibility of office promised, nor essential for authority and for providing and preserving faith. Neither does being the historical magisterial stewards of Diviner revelation men such are infallible. Nor are infallible the many distinctive Catholic teachings which are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed

Sorry to go all doctrine on you, for you are right that the actions of the Vatican are not consistent with its"open the borders" type rhetoric
