The question I have is, if Pope Francis is so bad in his preaching, WHY is he attracting more people to pay attention to him and is drawing in more people?

Thank-you for your responses.

Maybe because people see Christ in him?

It’s always the simple ones who can see more clearly.

Numbers prove nothing. The Mormons get numbers. Joel Osteen gets numbers. Creflo Dollar gets numbers. The Muslims have huge numbers. Never allow earthly success to fool you. Satan does his best work in the arena of religion. You must base your thinking on Scripture or you will run off the cliff.

Matthew 10 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

That's why the gay's hate Christians like us...oh wait...

“The question I have is, if Pope Francis is so bad in his preaching, WHY is he attracting more people to pay attention to him and is drawing in more people?”

Because he is saying liberal things, and thus all the liberals of the world, all the socialist gov’ts, of which there are many, and all the media therefore love him. Doesn’t it make you suspicious when even MSNBC has nice things to say about Pope Francis?

The way the Pope speaks gives an opening to people that want to twist and pervert scripture....

Jesus was clear on scripture, he spoke in parables so only the wise would understand, and the foolish would eventually perish.
