[JPII Be Not Afraid]

It is the culmination of her ranting that is the problem. She is causing very unjust scandals on Pope Francis before she even knows what he is going to do. Most everything she has ranted about has been proven wrong and she sounds no better then liberal Catholics trying to tell everyone they have the truth and others don't. You can read for yourself what she has written here at her blog, and if you agree with her opinions then so be it, but she is causing great scandal and harm to the man that has been chosen by the Holy Spirit to lead our Church and that is wrong. Do you believe any of her ranting will bring good people to the church or do you think those that value her opinion will turn away.

Pope Francis has touch the world with his humility and love. Catholics everywhere are proud he was chosen, believing him to be a true portrait of Christ on earth and how we should truly love as Christ did. People of other faiths can see this, too. All Ann can see is that he didn't genuflect, maybe it is because he can't. Did she ever think of that. Do you believe that Christ is not truly present in the Eucharist because he didn't genuflect? This is what she implies.

Jesus was not a warrior, that is what got him killed in the first place. They wanted a general to lead their armies and Judas thought by handing him over that would wake him up. Jesus doesn't care about our financial state, He cares if we feed the poor, were we merciful, loving and forgave our trespassers. It is up to us how we accomplish this, not Jesus. He just says do it.

As far as this current rant of her's, I believe Jesus said "Let the children come to me."

True. In fact some non-Catholics are setting a better example that would be beneficial for those Catholics engaging in these embarassingly mean-spirited attacks on our Holy Father, Francis to follow:

"As Catholics the world over get to know the man who will lead their church into the future, non-Catholics are joining them in praying for the success of newly elected Pope Francis and the 1.2 billion-member church he now leads."

...you accused the woman of disobedience to Holy Mother Church...I requested that you tell me what that disobedience was...the fact that you don’t like her world view doesn’t mean a thing...

...as far as scandals go, you’ve got to be kidding...a scandal? A scandal would be more priests being outed for homosexual relations with boys...or some prelates caught in bed with prostitutes...or a pope announcing his research showing that the Holy Mother was not virgin after all...a lowly blogger pontificating in cyberspace about puppet masses...not a scandal...

...a word of advice...accusing someone of disobedience to the Deposit of Faith is a very serious charge, not something you do just because you don’t like how that person parses her phrases...be careful how you throw that charge around...
