Michael Brendan Dougherty Quote of the Day: “Simply put, we don’t have to listen to popes when they are talking out of their rear ends.”

I understand what the author intended to convey, but I do not understand why he had to disgrace himself by what he wrote. The tone of this missive was much darker than necessary. The 'cult' of the Papacy is insulting. His presumption that Catholics are too dumb to think for themselves, and especially this gem: Simply put, we don’t have to listen to popes when they are talking out of their rear ends. are all disgusting.

I remember when Popes were really seen and not heard. It all seemed to change around John Paul the Second.

“National Review”???

Dougherty doesn’t even hint at the truth: Bergoglio, a paid Marxist agent of Soros, hates God, Jesus, Mary, the Eucharist, Catholicism, the West, and the human race, and wants to see them all destroyed.

Pope Francis is a hard core leftist politician first, a pope second (and I’m not that convinced that being a real pope is a priority for him....). He is truly the worst pope in my lifetime, and as a Roman Catholic, I am totally ashamed of him.

I was never swept up in the personality cult surrounding Pope John Paul II. I found it unseemly.
