Pope Francis, who in the past has not shied away from offering his opinion on U.S. politics, said in an interview published Wednesday that “spreading disinformation” is probably “the greatest damage that the media can do” and called it sinful.

Pope Francis compared the spreading of fake news to the desire to eat excrement.

Pope Francis compared the spreading of fake news to the desire to eat excrement.

This is not the first time that Bergoglio has made this filthy, vulgar analogy. He is a very sick man in need of prayers.

The Bible refers to lies as “evil reports”

Spreading a fake gospel, like socialism, is an even bigger sin.

Pope Frank is now a fact checker for the MSM. That is a full time job

Your Holiness, please stop for a moment. Do you really want to address us American Catholics (who say what we actually think) and start comparing sin for sin, while spreading ‘fake news’?
We have our own collection of your quotes, many somewhat ‘ambiguous’ in their authenticity.

This Pope says a lot of things, most of which I ignore.

I am an observant converted Catholic.

I am SO SICK of the political rants of Pope Francis. He’s a socialist first, a Pope second. Why can’t he just shut the H*ll up!?!

Weird that the Pizzagate DC power circle pedophile ring starts getting exposed and this pope rushes to shut everyone up and uses a sick and bizarre analogy when doing so.
Serious question. Does the RCC have something like impeachment for a pope that has clearly gone deranged, or otherwise off the reservation?
I have never heard of one, but with a very detailed body of law, rules, and procedures, I cannot imagine it hasn’t been thought of at some point.

How can it be done? Or is he left to destroy the church according to his whims?

“Bearing false witness” does, indeed, make the top 10.

In related news, theft and coveting are also in the top 10, despite what socialists think.

Who the hell even thinks like that? I was always told you don’t look behind the door unless you’ve hidden there yourself before.

“oes the RCC have something like impeachment for a pope that has clearly gone deranged, or otherwise off the reservation?”

Good question. I will ask my brother (who is a retired Bishop).

I’ve espoused the theory that this Pope is perhaps an anti-Pope and the previous Pope was in error when he stepped down.

My brother did not care for this theory.

We should call him The Poop from now on. He seems to have a fetish with fecal matter.

I think being a fake Pope is far worse than fake news...

The question I have is, who is he referring to, The New York Times et al, or Breitbart et al?

Interesting. I just don’t know either. I’m not a catholic, but I cannot imagine this hasn’t been considered or faced before. And say what you will about the RCC, they are very organized and codifed. There must be a procedure if there is a will to use it.
