Little Saint Greta, the Pope's favorite little useful idiot.

ROME — Pope Francis has publicly endorsed an essay that appeared in 2017 criticizing relations between Evangelicals and Catholics in the United States as an “ecumenism of hate.”
On Thursday, La Civiltà Cattolica journal released the transcript of a meeting between Pope Francis and a group of 24 Jesuits on September 5, 2019, during his recent trip to Mozambique in which the pope suggested that certain Evangelical Protestants in the United States “cannot really be defined as Christian.”
“Two important articles in Civiltà Cattolica have been published in this regard. I recommend them to you. They were written by Father Spadaro and the Argentinean Presbyterian pastor, Marcelo Figueroa. The first article spoke of the ‘ecumenism of hatred.’ The second was on the ‘theology of prosperity,’” the pontiff said.
“Reading them you will see that there are sects that cannot really be defined as Christian. They preach Christ, yes, but their message is not Christian,” the pope said. “It has nothing to do with the preaching of a Lutheran or any other serious evangelical Christianity.”

Pope Stupid the First has spoketh.
Frankie is just another out of control liberal.
How long until he makes little Greta Thunberg a saint?
I think this was posted earlier but I don’t care honestly
Francis is pathetic
I feel for Catholics.

The authors did not hesitate to suggest that many Evangelicals are southern racists who reject climate change. “Another interesting aspect is the relationship with creation of these religious groups that are composed mainly of whites from the deep American South,” the article stated. “There is a sort of ‘anesthetic’ with regard to ecological disasters and problems generated by climate change. They profess ‘dominionism’ and consider ecologists as people who are against the Christian faith.
The feeling is moochul
Maybe?
I did my usual search to try to avoid duplication.
I can understand the second, if he's talking about Bennie Hinn, Joel Olsteen, etc.
Popester is an enemy combatant to the USA and Holy Mother Church, and to the Peace of Christ on earth.
He is an ignorant man certainly and may be stupid, as well.
MOSTLY, he is a mule for Soros and a tool being used for global influence.
This means he is begging for some kind of schism in order to be rid of the Traditional Catholic Church and install a Marxist one in its place.
The Western Catholic Church is Not Traditional. There are something like only 200 Traditional masses left in the USA and Far fewer Traditional parishes, of whole neighborhoods are left who still practice the Traditional faith.
Francis.
Muslims = godly people
Evangelicals = unchristian hate mongers
I don’t pay any attention to this fool anymore. He’s a leftist activist who pretends to be an Catholic pope, not a Catholic pope with leftist leanings.
Big difference.
Why is this even news?
Ahh, the Commie Pope - truly Christ’s love in action!!
If the Pope was referring to the ELCA, than he wasn't wrong.
Don’t worry about it, U.S. Conservative Catholics don’t have anything good to say about Pope Socialista either. I wonder if there is any way to combine gay and socialist for a more accurate descriptor.
“Reading them you will see that there are sects that cannot really be defined as Christian. They preach Christ, yes, but their message is not Christian,”
Cranmer:
“And as for the Pope, I refuse him, as Christ’s enemy and antichrist, with all his false doctrine.”
I’d be rather incensed if that “pope” were my religious leader... but he’s not.
I think he denounced Evangelical Prosperity Gospel. The article cited indicates that the paper being referred to was co-authored by a Catholic theologian and a Presbyterian one.
As for theology of hate, again, disagreeing with ones doctrine should not translate to hating another human being.
I am no fan of Pope Francis, but nothing he said here was theologically wrong.
I have been on this forum for 12 years, have written lots on doctrine, don’t mind legitimate discussion and disagreement and have been in many discussions with non-Catholics that debate and discuss civilly. Some on the other hand, do not.
Don’t forget the co-author, Figueroa. He and Francis go way back to Argentina days where they had many projects together, including a radio talk show on religion. What does Figueroa actually do for work? Seems to be a groupie of Francis. Pope brought him from Argentina to live in Santa Marta House.
