Why does Francis not stress the importance of religious liberty? Why does he treat freedom as a political matter—the relationship between man and the state, and not between man and God? After all, “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

Francis is weaponizing the Church as a political tool.

He is only interested in the earthly, not the heavenly.

"They judge everything through the prism of personal freedom and oppose government..."

A good commie does exactly what little g says, every time. He knows that the good of the collective outweighs the rights of the individual. Even if a few million of them must die.

As a traditional Catholic I am throwing up in my mouth. The Pope has long ago been bought off by Soros and the CCP. He is a socialist communist Jesuit.

By far the worst Pope in a lifetime. He is a commie at heart, as attested to by many Catholics.

The time for (apparently sincere) questions about why the current Pope does not speak out against various outrages — such as the decriminalization of abortion in Ireland two years ago — has long past. I believe that any Sunday Mass-going Catholic who defends this Pope in 2020 is a moron...or in cahoots with Bergoglio himself.

This Pope is ignorant as wall as a commie. What is there to protest about the overdose death of George Floyd besides perhaps against evil Chi Coms smuggling fentanyl into the US.

If Frankie was really worth his salt he should have, at the very first instance of Churches being shut down, he should have defended our Godly right to keep our Sunday Masses in tact without having to resort to TV shut-in Masses.

But he has no salt.

Francis is on a quest to replace Christianity with liberalism. He is just another Marxist tyrant.

This guy needs to be kicked out on his ass. He is a globalist operative who only has his best interests in mind.

I think Francis is more into “black mass”.

So he is not likely upset at all about mass.
