American conservatives who loathe his outreach to migrants and China, his denunciation of free-market capitalism, his environmental concerns and his relaxation of church rules on the death penalty and sacraments for civilly remarried Catholics. Some have gone so far as to accuse Francis of heresy.
The pope’s most outspoken conservative critics in the U.S. include Cardinal Raymond Burke, who Francis ousted as a Vatican supreme court justice, and former White House adviser Steve Bannon. Well-funded, right-wing Catholic media amplified their disapproval. Wealthy Catholics are putting money behind initiatives to discredit Francis’ allies with the goal of electing a conservative, doctrine-minded churchman as the next pope.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni sought to clarify the pope’s comments afterward, stressing they came in an “informal context” and that Francis always welcomes criticism.

The man absolutely despises Americans.
Faker! Get out of the Vatican you faker.
It’s not an attack your popeship - it’s just remarking on your stupid statements.
Maybe American Catholics should cut their tithes. There are religious institutions that would appreciate America’s relative wealth and generosity.
Better to give your money directly to those in need rather than filter it through the paws of those religious Pharisees who despise you and your capitalistic filthy lucre.
Francis doesn’t need your money. Don’t give it to him.
Can you imagine if Bishop Sheen were able to see what this imposter is doing to the Church?
Pope Stupid the First speaks. Who knew he could form complete sentences?
Has he ever actually preached the gospel, urged people to repent and turn to Jesus? Nope, I didn’t think so.
Yes, Bishop Sheen would be thoroughly disgusted.
It’s about the content of your character, you bad man.
so speaks the latin american commie who wears a dress.
Two questions?
Are you catholic and do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Communists usually do.
in off-hand remarks aboard the papal plane
LOL, is that plane using fossil fuels which Po-pe Frank wants US to stop using?
I’m not here to talk down the leader of the Catholic Church.
I am here to talk down this Pope’s policy decisions.
If he would get his act together, I wouldn’t pay any attention to him.
In that case, I want the Pope to become the most “honored” Pope in history./s
No. Yes.
Whether I am Catholic is irrelevant. Pope Francis is a disaster for Christianity. He is the Worst Pope EVER.
I’m Catholic and I think the Pope’s a communist piece of s***.
This jerk is of the Devil.
Catholics should get the heck out of that phony religion.
