OK, we’ll see what Francis says while he is here in September. It is his duty as head of the Roman Catholic Church to uphold the faith against those who would seek to pervert and destroy it. Obama is clearly anti-Christian in virtually all of his positions and actions. Seeking ‘common ground’ as reported after what this man has said and done is unconscionable. I knew before my reply post that there would be staunch Catholics that would defend Francis regardless just because he has the job of ‘Pope’, just like there are moderate Democrats that voted for Obama regardless of his extreme positions just because he was ‘Democrat’. So be it.

And oh, by the way, thanks to all the good Catholics (and liberal Protestants as well) that put Obama in office with their votes and donations as well. Job well done.

I’m a Catholic and I posted the article. I also didn’t vote for Obama. I realize what’s going on in the Church. The College of Cardinals IMHO got it wrong when they selected him as Pope. I pray that he’ll change and start speaking clearly about Catholic doctrine. Blasting capitalism and taking democrat talking points on global warming, and cuddling up to cafeteria Catholics makes me sick.

I'm not "defending Francis just because he has the job of Pope." He has done and said things that deserve unsparing scrutiny and criticism, and so be it: the good of the Church depends on the vigilance of the faithful.

Since 'it is his duty as head of the Roman Catholic Church to uphold the faith against those who would seek to pervert and destroy it," we should be helping him do that, not spotlighting his stumbles and eagerly anticipating his falls.

By the way, I am a (modest) financial contributor to the Lepanto Institute --- the whistleblowers here. I'm not for shooting the messengers.
