In answer to the question is the pope Catholic, as a Catholic myself, I would say he is a cafeteria Catholic.

It would be helpful if you could provide specific examples to support your statement.

I would say he is very confused in his use of words. He thereby causes confusion and that breeds potential sin among those that are followers. That is scandal and it is wrong, particularly for a Church leader.

He needs to concern himself less with the secular World and more with the saving of souls. The poor will always be with us. The poor in spirit do not need to be with us.

We need less ‘God is All Love’ and more ‘God is All Just’ and Justice demands accountability for sin IE: Hell!

I am a cradle Catholic and practicing. I have FIVE children. I can not remember the last sermon about the justice of God or about the idea of sin. Sin that causes the death of the soul and invites an eternity in Hell.

Make no mistake, we get plenty of God’s forgiveness, but forgiveness is not available to those who willfully sin and refuse to repent.
