That statement you make when you think all blue collar workers are stupid: It really seems too daring that Jesus entrusts the task to a small group of simple men without great intellectual abilities!
The man seems to subscribe to an awful lot of urban legends.
Blue collar workers are stupid.
People who own guns are not Christian.
Women who trust God and are open to life know about as much about procreation as wild bunny rabbits.
Folks who come to Mass to immerse themselves in Christ in mystical prayer are people who don't like to dance.
People who know the effects of receiving the Blessed Sacrament in a state of mortal sin are museum mummies.
Catholics complaining about the stupid things he's doing and saying and the damage its doing to people we love are bitter, rigid, pickle-pussed gossip terrorists.
It's all so tiring.
Tomorrow, citizens of my beloved Ireland are voting on a referendum to put children to death. The Holy Father has said nothing. Absolutely nothing. He expresses his disgust for every raised eyebrow but nothing to say about the lives of the unborn and the salvation of their mothers.
At the end of the day, Christ knew when it comes to an apostolic mission, even an apostolic imbecile is better than someone who just doesn't give a damn.

stupid?
probably not.
how does Francis know, anyway?
is the Pope equating stupidity with faith, maybe??????
Jesus did like people of simple faith (at least as long as they expressed their faith in him)....
Matthew 18
Luke 18
and Mark too: “And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.”
COMMENT: but is the Pope equating faith with stupidity?
I hope not

Perhaps, but he also chose Paul. And Paul, then Saul, was a pharisee’s pharisee, schooled in the scriptures.

And he says this less than a week before Pentecost Sunday.
What a buffoon to imply the Apostles were simple men, eleven of them having suffered martyrdom for the Faith.

Saint Luke has been, traditionally, identified as a physician.

Perhaps the fishermen were chosen because, as merchants, they spoke
more than one language.

Methinks his Poposity is equating his selection by the cardinals with Jesus’ selection of his apostles, no?
