Pope Francis calls spreading fake news a sin

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

He is mixed up.

Eating excrement should be likened unto listening to and believing MSM news (which really is all fake).

[Scrambler Bob]

Does a Fake Pope eat bear excrement in the woods?

Looks like the Pope is on the DNC talking point distribution list

There have been several good articles on this subject posted on FR. Or you could look at the Remnant Newspaper website.

There is nothing in the Code of Canon Law about removal of a Pope, but theologians have agreed that the Church has the right of self-defense if a Pope should turn insane, or heretical. It is possible for a group of Cardinals to act. The Four Cardinals have, in fact, been following steps consistent with the suggestions of some theologians, such as Cardinal Bellarmine.

For a Pope to use those words even once was shocking. To use them again is a fixation.

You mean like how wonderful Castro is??

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’?

He's speaking to Catholics around the world ... not just this country. He is pope of the entire Catholic Church, not just the American Catholic Church. And yeah ... last time I checked, lying is a sin.

The pope just announced a fake sin. Guess there aren’t enough real sins in the world.

I take everything reported about this pope with a grain of salt. Especially as it first showed up here from Reuturs. So i usually just reply.

“Pope Peronista I Speaks”

[Organic Panic]

BUT BUT BUT... He carried his own bags.

Bergoglio is a closet deviant who is into scatting and in typical Alinsky fashion he’s projecting his own perversions onto others.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

I call spreading fake theology a sin.

[RegulatorCountry]

Sounds like they’ve finally made the Catholic Church an official arm of the Democrat Party after all these years.

[PA-RIVER]

I’m not buying what the communist pope is selling.

[ebb tide]

Or like decrying a global warming hoax as fact and using the U.N. as your mouthpiece. Or lying that two thirds of the cardinals at his SinNod voted in favor of adultery? Keep in mind that Cardinal Burke was not invited to Jorge's second Sin Nod, nor was the stalwart Cardinal Zen of China. Zen has been outspoken in defense of the true, underground Catholics in Red China. He was told he was not invited because of his advanced age. Yet heretics, older than Zen were invited and actively participated in the Kasper/Bergolio pre-determined SinNod to permit adultery.

Tomorrow is the Feast of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception. I dread what stunt Bergoglio may pull this year.

[HomerBohn]

Bergoglio, much like his predecessors subsequent to Vatican II, proves on a daily basis that the Church has committed suicide.

[vpintheak]

Well it is true. Spreading a lie knowingly is a sin.

[metmom]

Too late.

God already called lying a sin.

Something about not bearing false witness.......

[Hillary'sMoralVoid]

Burn in Hell WaPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC...et al.

[El Cid]

"...that “spreading disinformation” is probably “the greatest damage that the media can do” and called it sinful...."

If you are talking about the lies spread by CNN, NYT, WASHPOST, etc., I'm with you there, Popester. But somehow I don't think this is what you mean.
