The new testament is very clear. We are to put charity to Christians first.

“I’m pretty sure that Francis isn’t a real Catholic, but is he even a Christian?”
__________________________________________

As a Christian (who does fail, daily), I firmly believe he is not a believer in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of the world.

A Christian may acknowledge those in other religions have the legal rights to worship in their faith, given the safety and freedom of those in other religions. American would be the prime example of this standard.

That said, a Christian will never equate any other religion as the equal of the Christian faith. That is because there is no other equal to Jesus Christ in the faith of the Christian.

Even in Judaism they were looking forward to their Messiah’s arrival. When he arrived they rejected him because he didn’t fit their version of the Warrior King. Their rejection didn’t erase their expectation of the King: It allowed the Gentiles to be given the gift of Salvation.

Pope Francis has actually equated the false god of Islam as equal to Jesus Christ.

Islam acknowledges Christ’s existence but denies His divinity. If you are a Christian, you know Islam is a “religion” based in lies. If the goal is to save souls, Islam must be condemned as a false path that leads to damnation.

Never thought I’d have to explain that to a Pope.

Was Barack Obama a good reason to leave the United States?

No doubt the Pope is catholic, but a Christian he’s not.

I’ve seen the duck in other cartoons. May I ask you, what is the story behind Francis and rubber duckies? I did not find by googling.

I don't actually know what it is about PF and the duckies. In John Zmirak's funny short vid about Papal Infallibility (LINK) there is a pope in the bathtub with some little rubber duckies, but that my not be related.

Ebb, you got any ideas?

I suspect it's a reflection on Pope Francis' self-admitted insecurity problem of not being surrounded by others (whether they be UN delegatss, homos, apostates or rubber ducks, etc.

Pope Francis to live in Vatican guesthouse, not papal apartments

He will be the first pope in 110 years not to live in the papal apartments on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace.

Narcissists need audiences.

Pope reveals he had weekly psychoanalysis sessions at age 42

Francis told Wolton he now felt free. “Of course, I’m in a cage at the Vatican, but not spiritually. Nothing frightens me,” he said.

"Nothing frightens him". What a scary thing for a pope to say.
