The Pope is soft on Islam.
"It is true that the Muslim world is not totally mistaken when it reproaches the West of Christian tradition of moral decadence and the manipulation of human life."
Encourages Homosexuality.
"It is deplorable that homosexual persons have been and are the object of violent malice in speech or in action. Such treatment deserves condemnation from the church's pastors wherever it occurs."
[SNIP]
He is overtly humble and does not embrace his office:
"The authority of the pope is not unlimited;"
"The cardinals have elected me, a simple and humble worker in the Lord's vineyard. The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers."
He makes a point of extolling women and the Church.
“It is theologically and anthropologically important for woman to be at the center of Christianity. Through Mary, and the other holy women, the feminine element stands at the heart of the Christian religion.”
On those neo-pelagians that think they can earn their way to heaven through piety instead of charity:
“If in my life I fail completely to heed others, solely out of a desire to be 'devout' and to perform my 'religious duties', then my relationship with God will also grow arid. It becomes merely 'proper', but loveless.”
He cares about the environment:
“Listen to the voice of the earth...”
He even hates Capitalism:
"the prevalence of a selfish and individualistic mindset which also finds expression in an unregulated capitalism"

Is the sky blue?
Stanne believes that you should not attribute statements made by others to stanne who did not say this
Pick and choose all you want
Thatt’s what the lib press does all the time
Propaganda
Which post/statement did I attribute to you incorrectly?
Use some or all of the negative quotes just to inject some honesty
Too late for the question - you've already asserted it as the truth, and I'm now calling you on it. I expect you to take responsibility for avoiding any appearance of malice, gossip or slander by backing your statement up, by providing the quote and where/when that I've said it.
Check the post i responded to, 38
I HAVE had enough of this particular typical grammar school level yet illogical thread
Take up our argument against the Church with the clergy
If you have any courage or maturity or willingness to tackle whatever obstacles stand in your way to reuniting with your faith if that’s the case
But this post was a cheap shot at Pope Francis intent on turning those who would not read it
Don’t waste my time
I teach ninth g English and I can tell BS from a mile away
"Rebellion and revolution - that's nothing new for Latin America: In the 1960s and 70s, Latin American liberation theologians such as Gustavo Gutierrez and Oscar Romero inspired clergymen and believers all over the world. One of them was Ludwig Gerhard Müller, who now heads the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith."
"Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff firmly believes Latin America will trigger future reforms that are going to change the Catholic Church. "Our church doesn't reflect the European mother church anymore; it has its own origins, its own traditions, heroes, martyrs, prophets and personas such as the famous former bishop of Recife, Dom Helder Camara, or our very own saint, Oscar Romero," Boff said. "These churches will breathe new life into Christianity.""

A different perspective on Francis' "wild capitalism" and concern for the poor.
Based on the prevalent grammatical errors in your posts, I'd say you're in the wrong line of work.
No. I just don’t take the time on the anticatholic forum to proofread my arguments. Better things to do
I’ sure my errors prevail in typos and not grammar
I am in the right line of work.
I can show otherwise distracted and argumentive people (kids) how to follow classic characters’ behaviors from one step to the next and following logical steps
From Iago to Tom Sawyer to Penelope and to Ahab
And I can smell intent and effort in an argument, an essay and a test answer to a personal schooze to the tee
And your arguments are not up to the caliber of the high schoolers I serve
They are boring and transparent
You may deduct twenty-five points from your answer, for the use of a dangling participle/misplaced modifier. And don't let your students know that you find them boring and transparent.
Too late for the question - you've already asserted it as the truth, and I'm now calling you on it. I expect you to take responsibility for avoiding any appearance of malice, gossip or slander by backing your statement up, by providing the quote and where/when that I've said it.
Oh, you certainly misread my post.
I do not ever find my students boring. And they know when I see through their efforts
No. I was comparing you to them finding you but not them boring
I haven't misread your posts. I just pointed out one of many grammatical errors found therein, errors that are inexcusable under better English teachers.
You might want to go to your argument and see what you can do about directing your anticatholicism in a more honest way
A priest, or other clergy member might help you vent more effectively or help you discover what the problem might be which brings you on a course to dishonestly disparage the Pope
There's no mistaking what the WORD of God says in the above verses nor is there any mistaking what the WORD of God says in the following verse.
John 19:15 But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
And their descendants have been helping to install one tyrannical Caesar after another ever since.
Which is why it's hard to decide whether to laugh or to cry when you read their anti-Christ and anti-Christian jokes.
Great article, and Archbold was actually right. People do twist the Pope’s words. All the quotes are from Pope Benedict - and not a single one is “liberal.”
These are simply the teachings of the Catholic Church, which holds out salvation to everyone and hates the sin but loves the sinner.
As for capitalism, I don’t think there’s a single person here who would support crony capitalism (state capitalism) or a situation where factory owners could do things like lock the fire exits and let their employees die because it might have cost them a few extra bucks to have the fire exits open. Pope Francis has frequently made the point that economic systems must be regulated from within, that is, by virtuous people.
