The guy (that is, Frankie) isn’t deep enough to be an enigma. He’s just a corrupt VII leftist who was catapulted into power by the group that drove out BXVI.

He’s the Magic 8 Ball of the Catholic Church...a stupid, undereducated leftist from an arrogant, Italian-dominated, dysfunctional country...who just says whatever floats across his excuse for a brain.

“He’s just a corrupt VII leftist who was catapulted into power by the group that drove out BXVI.”

Yep.

He is the first successor of Saint Peter to take the name “Francis”—after il po- verello, the little poor man, as Francis of Assisi is a ectionately known in Italy. Although amplifed to mythic proportions by an enthralled media, the new pope’s emphasis on simplicity and humility is genuine ...

Every other pope in modern times have been given about three months of adulation and then the sniping begins, all from the leftists.

But, notice that the left, even after the three month cut-off date, are still singing his praises or they are not saying anything, maybe so they don't disturb his work.

The books that have been written about him listed in the article are all critiques from conservatives. I find that very interesting.

It seems Frankie is not on our side, the side of the faithful.

He is instead a man of the world.

He is Judas.

“Is the Pope Catholic?”

I’m just as Catholic as he is.

What amazes me is the number of people who think the Jesuit is all that.

He was quite upset when Donald Trump won the election. Go figure.

I refer to him by his name, Jorge Bergoglio, NOT Francis, because I don’t want to insult Saint Francis. I’ll never forgive him for being part of the coup against our beloved Pope Benedict XVI. Bergoglio has always been overly ambitious. He should have been a politician. Instead he’s the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Jorge Bergoglio’s appeal to the laity was his much publicized “life of simplicity.” People all over
the world were told of how he took the
subway and never a limousine or even a car to meetings and Church functions. We were told about his grand treatment of the homeless, the disfigured, and his life of humility living in a small apartment, cooking for himself, instead of living in the “episcopal palace” in Buenos Aires.

What we weren’t told was that Bergoglio has always been dysfunctional and having come under Juan Perón in Argentina, Jorge was very political. He learned to talk out of both sides of his mouth which he still does today.

He speaks vaguely about adultery and homosexuality; he openly criticizes America and capitalism; he is loudly vocal in his support and belief in Global Warming - Climate Change!; pushes immigration; open borders; insists that Islam is a religion of peace; speaks in tongues about Hell; is fond of saying , “hagan lío,” a phrase from his native Argentina that means “raise a ruckus”or, more literally, “make a mess.” In that much he has succeeded.”

Celestine V was not the last pope to resign before Benedict XVI did. Gregory XII resigned to help end the Great Western Schism.
