Francis’ prayer intention for January 2022 is "for true human fraternity."
He writes, "We pray for all those suffering from religious discrimination and persecution; may their own rights and dignity be recognised, which originate from being brothers and sisters in the human family.”
Alluding to Francis' persecution of Roman Rite Catholics, Scott Gauley wrote on social media that this prayer intention is “like a parody” while Francis "is persecuting his own faithful!”
Tibor Székely, a Roman Rite Catholic, declares: “It seems that we are not among the brothers and sisters in the Church and also we cannot have dignity.”
Kevin Rilott: “I guess it's do as I say not as I do.” And Michael Fusco, “You can’t make this stuff up.”

Please do not send this thread down the memory hole. I’ve noticed a couple of threads that have been negative about Francis have been pulled of late. This is an important topic and FR is one of the few forums to allow Catholics the space to discuss these things freely.
He’s praying for those he discriminates against?
Well he might be finally turning a corner... /sarc
