Once people on the left and social media outlets (filled with kids and leftist O-bots) started “coming around” and “liking this guy,” my suspicions became manifold. Now that I’m seeing and hearing this pontiff more, I’m starting to understand that he’s not the Pope we need in a world filled with evil; he’s the Pope the world wanted to spite Catholicism.
From my limited readings about the Jesuits, I’ve always gotten the impression that they are more or less religious Communists.
I didn’t have to read this article to see the source of his faith and it seems to be heavy on socialist propaganda with the Bible as a prop when needed. Sorry to Catholic faithful, if this man, dubbed as white Obama, can be selected to be head of your church, you should seriously look at a different alternative. He will take Catholics down the drain as Obama has taken US.
Chalk one more up for being in the wrong side. Whose left? It’s easier to keep track of whose left.
Years ago on FR I admonished Catholics to confront their Bishops who were expressing the Bishop's personal opinions on things like the death penalty, implying they were Church dogma.
The move to subvert the Catholic Church started years ago, and Pope Francis is the fulfillment of that desire. -Tom
He’s an Argentine Socialist.
Plenty more where he came from.
It’s pretty funny to me that those white South Americans fancy themselves “anti-colonial”. Indigenous they are not.
Hey, dingbats - YOU are the colonizers!
I’m SURE they’d say this about white americans, why deny it about themselves. Go back to Europe if you feel that way about things.
Now the Pope seems to be embracing the idea of trans-gender marriages giving a private audience to one couple. On homosexuality, he remarked “Who am I to judge”
To the faithful Catholics, he seems to have contempt.
“This past October, Francis took aim at “ideological Catholics,” calling them “a serious illness” within the Church. What is Francis, if not an ideologue?”
And admonishing faithful Catholics “not to breed like rabbits.” I'm sure he could have gotten his point across much more diplomatically, but he chose not to. Too bad he doesn't give practicing Catholics the benefit of not judging them.
Francis appears to be an Argentine populist in his political views. This is not a good foundation for thinking coherently about social, economic and political issues. He may be orthodox on any number of important doctrinal issues, but when he drifts into social policy, one should be on guard.
Save your energy. Read the predictions of St. Malachy. This Pope is “Peter the Roman”, the last pope.
“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven hilled city (Rome) will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people “.
- translated from the Latin. St. Malachy predicted his own death.
This pope is the jimmy carter of popes.
Any way we could bring Benedict XV back from retirement?
I think the Catholic Church was in too much of a hurry to elect a Pope from South America.
They succumbed to the same leftist liberal bullcrap that saddled America with the greatest threat to our survival we've ever faced.
