This Pope is enough to make you wonder if a wild bear actually does #2 in a restroom.

Apparently not. Likely not even Christian.

What used to be a joke rhetorical question is now a legitimate concern.

When I go to Mass, I try to focus on the liturgy of Word and the liturgy of Eucharist. I try not to make the surroundings (homily, choir, crying babies or archdiocese policies) be the focal point, but it is difficult

He’s hijacked the world’s oldest Christian faith and turned it into his own personal Left-wing political party.

Salman :" Particularly interesting because from a secular source. "

This is a secular pope who is more worldly 'woke' and temmporal, than religious and spiritual.
While channel surfing, I happened on on EWTN (Catholic channel) reference to Saul Alinski, called "A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing"
which I found most interesting, interesting, and intriguing .

https://www.ewtn.com/tv/shows/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing.

"An exposé of the lies and deception spun by 60's radical, Saul Alinsky.
His political tactics and theories espoused social justice,
but carried an agenda that threatened core beliefs of Christianity and the Church."

Saul Alinsky saw in Catholicism a powerful world-wide institution that could be exploited.
A power base for worldly exploitation with international political contacts.
Francis is the embodiment of Saul Alinsky in Catholicism.
My faith comes from the old," Baltimore Catechism, number three"

Is the official side of the Catholic church still Catholic? How did we get a Satanic Pope anyway?

The white smoke from the chimney was just some Swiss Guards blowing a doobie and the cardinals, weary of deliberations, just went with it.
