Pope Francis calls for homosexual civil unions, bashes Trump in new film

Speaking of homosexual civil unions, the Pope said: 'What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that'

ROME, October 21, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In perfect time to affect the U.S. presidential election, a new film will premier in North America Sunday which represents in dramatic fashion Pope Francis’ attack on President Trump as “not a Christian” for the President’s building of the border wall. In the documentary, which premiered in Rome today, Pope Francis has made his most clear statements contradicting Catholic Church teaching by calling for homosexual civil unions to be legalized. Speaking of homosexual civil unions, he said “What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.”

The film Francesco is a fawning and dramatic treatment of Pope Francis, painting the pontiff as a liberator of humanity pushing on many of the hot-button issues dear to the Democrat left.

Wasn’t a Pope supposed to be religious? Steeped in the study of the Bible? A man of charity and a man of clarity? Truly a Holy man and a leader of the flock? This Argentine seems to be a man of limited intelligence, of diffuse thought; he is a man who though tricked-out in liturgical dress is an empty suit. He is the leader of a diminishing flock, and the Catholic Church follows the fool’s path of the failed protestant Churches. It leads one to wonder if we are approaching the end of time.

I always thought Popes were supposed to be Christians?

last time I read the Canon Law, it did not provide for recalling a bad pope

maybe the Canon Law might be amended someday in this respect?

Has there ever been such a political pope in our days?

When Francis raised his hand, he thought they said "We need a Dope!"

I guess Pope Leo IV was not a Christian—he built the wall around the Vatican.

“What Catholics believe” is one thing, “What the Catholic Church authentically teaches” is another, and “The nonsense that +Francis is spouting today” is yet another. Do not assume that they are identical. In some cases, there may not even be any overlap.

Not trying to Catholic bash, but I have to point out the obvious. If you are an Episcopalian and you think your church is going off the rails, you can move down the street and go to the Presbyterian Church, or Baptist, or a local church that is not part of one of the main line denominations and still call yourself a protestant. You don’t really have that option as a Catholic, do you? You’d no longer be Catholic.

Pope Francis A commie mole who has never read the bible.

Partner, this Pope just does not know how to keep his mouth shut and he is so wrong it seems like always.

BTW, Pope Francis sounds like as if he is getting Alzheimer's/Dementia.

I am a Catholic but do not agree with this pope. I converted 30 years ago because the Church stood it’s ground against divorce, abortion and homosexuality.

This pope has let us down big time, but I will not give up on the Church. This man will be gone someday and the leadership in the Vatican will go back to it’s original mission.

> It leads one to wonder if we are approaching the end of time. <

I’ve got this old friend. He’s a committed, traditional Catholic - goes to mass a couple of times a week. I’ve known him for 30 years. He has never spoken about the end times, not until recently. Now he talks about it quite a bit.

Me - I just don’t know. But I can’t say that I disagree with him.

Same with me, but 25 years ago instead of 30.

This pope has let us down big time, but I will not give up on the Church.

Me too.

This man will be gone someday and the leadership in the Vatican will go back to it’s original mission.

I agree, but I now doubt whether this man is the pope at all. God permits evil so He that can draw from it a much greater good from it. My hope is that Our Lord will use the false pontificate to expose the corruption in the Church...and cleanse it with fire.

“Don’t leave Christ because of Judas”

Exactly my thought.
