Ironic that one Pope was canonized and known for standing up to communism and the current one is an advocate of it.

The Jesuits should have been dissolved a long time ago. A bunch of stinking liberals. The whole order.

Before the Catholic bashers start pouncing, mind your own business or get baptized.

They were. It just didn’t stick, thanks, to of all peoples, the Russians (and Catherine the Great specifically. Unquestioning obedience to all the Pope says, does, and wants apparently applies only when convenient.

That is quite an accusation. Please cite and source documentation to justify it.

It amazes me how people make things up out of thin air - like claiming the pope advocates communism.

A point that is lost on many of the current pope's defenders. One led people to freedom, while the current leads them to slavery.

“Ironic that one Pope was canonized and known for standing up to communism and the current one is an advocate of it”

“May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. [Psalm 40:3] O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, look mercifully upon Thy servant Francis, whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, that by his word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, may he attain everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen”

We don't "follow" the Pope. We follow Jesus. The Pope is simply His Vicar on earth.

From Google: A vicar (/ˈvɪkər/; Latin: vicarius) is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand").
In this sense, the title is comparable to lieutenant. Linguistically, vicar is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy".

Deputy/Lieutenant Francis I

Why do you say that about Pope Francis? The Catholic Church in no way is a proponent of Communism.

Source or just your thoughts?

Please provide substantive proof that Pope Francis advocates communism....and I AM baptized. ;-)

PS. The media/present-day press is not considered “substantive.”
