ROME — Pope Francis said Sunday those who protest coronavirus lockdowns and loss of personal freedoms are thinking only of themselves.
In an exclusive interview with the Serbian daily newspaper Politika, the pontiff compared two attitudes he has observed in reacting to the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing social and economic lockdowns.
Those who have peacefully accepted the loss of jobs, travel, mental health, family unity, education, rule of law, public worship, human contact, and personal initiative are selfless heroes — the pope seemed to suggest — while others who have complained of government overreach and the breakdown of society, urging more sensible solutions and respect for the democratic process, are motivated by egotism.

I have to wonder about the ego of God’s right-hand man on Earth...
It’s a shame that anyone still listens to this.
Pope who?
And still not a peep from this anti-Pope about the Muslim attacks in France.
Are the Muslims “selfish” there mr. Anti-Pope?
Francis called someone else an egotist? Hmmm...
So China unleashes a biological weapon and we are supposed to accept defeat and the new global order?
haha!! SOOOO true.
That is definitely not God’s right hand man on earth. Somebody else’s maybe.
He’s like a reincarnation of Leo X; Instead of a rich family trying to profit from the papacy, it’s a socialist corrupting the faith from within. Every time he opens his mouth, I feel like the tribulation is upon us.
The Marxist antipope speaks! Shut up Francis.
The ImPopester works for Satan, not God.
I, and many other Christians in the world, do not see the Pope, not this one, nor any other, as “God’s right-hand man on Earth”. Of course to Roman Catholics, the Pope is “God’s right-hand man on Earth”. I would suggest that he might be better described (by members of the Roman Catholic faith) as “(a) god’s LEFT-hand man on Earth”. A number of his views are not reflective of Biblical teachings. Too much yeast.
Years ago, I remember other conservatives asking why John Paul II didn’t weigh in on this or that parochial issue. I think it was Joseph Sobran who answered that “The pope isn’t a pundit”.
Pray for Francis. Psalm 108.
Glad I’m Jewish and don’t have to concern myself as a Catholic with his bullshit!
Commie Pope.
