I’m not sure how any Catholic could “like” the fact that he said these things. It is not Catholic to cast aside the Catholic Faith as necessary. And no Catholic should defend it.

Perhaps some may be unaware that to reject a single article of the Credo ("We believe in one holy Catholic and apostolic church") is to apostatize.

"One Lord, one faith, one baptism". Ephesians 4:5

Imagine if you will the head of the Catholic Church that does not believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church. A pope more popular with non-Catholics than Catholics.
There’s a signpost up ahead—next stop, the Bergoglio Zone.

Francis’ interview with “Il Messaggero”. The interview was published on June 29, 2014:

Question for Francis: “Why have you, from the very beginning, chosen to stress your role as the Bishop of Rome?”

Francis: “Francis’ first service is this: to be the Bishop of Rome.”

Question for Francis: “Where is Bergoglio’s Church headed?”

Francis: “Thank God, I have no Church; I follow Christ.”


Francis’ June 16, 2014 address to “His Grace” Justin Welby, the “Archbishop” of Canterbury:

“‘Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!’ (Ps 133:1) Once again we meet, Your Grace, as co-workers in the Lord’s vineyard and fellow pilgrims on the path to his Kingdom. I welcome you and the distinguished members of your delegation… We must walk together. Your Grace, I thank you once more for your visit. I ask the Lord to shower his blessings on your ministry and to sustain you and your loved ones in joy and peace. Amen.”


Francis’ June 16, 2014 address to “the diocese of Rome”:

“… the Church must do something, must change, must convert in order to become mother. She must be fruitful!… This is not a question of seeking to proselytize, no, no! To go ring the bell: ‘Would you like to come to this association called the Catholic Church?…’… The Church does not grow through proselytism…”
