Appropriate photo to fit the latest. Benedict is gone but Teilhardian theological science fiction is back! Read all about it in the global warming encyclical, Laudato Si’ as Ferrara points out.

This pope says the most un-Catholic things.

I remain thankful convert to the Catholic Church.

There have been bad popes before & Christ’s Church has always endured. I take comfort in this.

We're definitely getting the Pope we deserve. :-(

A letter of resignation would be a great mercy.

The only mystery is how this man passed his theology exams. That statement is false. If he’s speaking in metaphors, sorry, it still is false.

Hey, Franky! Then please explain Genesis chapter 1. And John chapter 1. “In the beginning...”

I hope he was misqhoted. There are some attributes of God that would not be on display without man. Mercy and justice ckme to mind.

it is He who cannot be without us, and this is a great mystery!


He doesn’t need us. The mystery is why he puts up with us.

This could be poor word smithing on the part of the pope or bad theology. “Cannot be without us” could be a far stretch for “chooses to not be without us” if given the benefit of the doubt but on the other hand, words reveal the soul.

But this is his unofficial musings, not said in the OFFICIAL CAPACITY, so doesn’t mean anything /s.

I seriously am starting to wonder if Francis will live out his papacy, or whether he will leap off a high balcony, demanding that God, or perhaps Karl Marx, catch him.

From which ignominious end, the left will demand that he be declared a martyr to their cause, nothing more, and be honored by the church as a “secular saint”.

God cannot be God without man: this is a great mystery!

Bergoglian bombast.

One of the character weaknesses of self-important, totalitarian leaders with delusions of grandeur, is that they have a propensity for making outrageous, outlandish, self-aggrandizing statements when confronted with a captive audience which drinks in every word.

Francis fits the mold perfectly.

Francis: "God Cannot Be God without Man."

So, He was not God before He created man? What is this Pope smoking?

What makes you think that his “Catholic” seminary didn’t teach this?
