Good faith, good will and good sense.

6) We must disabuse ourselves of the idea that the election of every Pope is the work of the Holy Spirit and the direct will of God.

Exactly!

[Lurker]

Or, you could stop listening to his foolishness entirely.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Well, sombody’s gotta do it.

[Cubs Fan]

Francis’s primary religion is not Catholicism it’s political correctness. The best idea would be to remove him as pope before he destroys Catholicism any further.

[Lurker]

Actually you don’t “have to”.

That’s right; some Popes have not been very good people, and maybe we were jut due for one of those. It is still very trying for serious Catholics to endure the ambiguous nonsense spouted by this guy; he is seriously weakening the Church’s message.

[Arthur McGowan]

Possibly much worse then his utterances are the Pope’s choices of bishops. According to one source I have read, he is ignoring the nominees of the nuncios, reaching down into the presbyterate wherever he can, especially in the Spanish-speaking world, and appointing “the very worst priests he can find.” Cupich and McElroy...

Great information!

“Well, somebody’s gotta do it”.

Reading some of these posts, I see that point #8 in Fr. Stravinska’s piece didn’t get its due attention.

[Vigilanteman]

Amen.

“...Not Freak Out Every Time Pope Francis Speaks”

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

There is only one way necessary in order to “Not Freak Out Every Time Pope Francis Speaks”:

Understand that Mr. Bergoglio is not a Catholic and as such in not the pope. He is thus an anti-pope, so anything he says or does is of no official account. Next time we have a true pope such as Pius XII of happy memory, I will listen and follow diligently all he does and says.

Anti-council Vatican II was an act of apostasy and all “popes” supporting it were heretics on that count alone.

By the way, concerning the doctor’s point no. 1, lack of precision IS a heresy. It is a hellish tactic to decieve and mislead the faithful. “Vatican II” documents are fraught with lack of precision.

Get off the internet and mop your floors instead.

[Lurker]

“and as such in not the pope. He is thus an anti-pope, “

Non sequitur. Try again.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Maybe. But “somebody” has to.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yes, Ma'am!

[Tax-chick]

Not that it won’t have to be done again tomorrow ...

What is the practical or spiritual benefit of finding fault with Pope Francis? Suppose he’s totally dead wrong about a lot of things. Does my observing this get me or someone else closer to God? Does it feed or clothe or educate or doctor anyone? Does it make anything more beautiful or even cleaner?

To me, it doesn’t seem like it would.

13. Turn your back on organized religion... Go find God by yourself. You don’t need the crackers and smoke. He is right there waiting for you. And you don’t need other people in special clothing to introduce you...just walk near and say “hello.” If you believe, you will get an answer.

Anti-council Vatican II was an act of apostasy and all “popes” supporting it were heretics on that count alone.

Unfortunately what we see at work here in the author's first claim that Francis has not spoken heresy (ROFLMAO) is that the word "heretic" is no longer used in the post Vatican II church. The new ecumenical religion doesn't call anyone heretic. If it did, they might have to call a spade a spade.
