She understands just fine. We do not worship the Pope. Popes come and popes go. Jesus Christ is the one we worry about. There is not a soul on earth that I am going to agree with 100 percent. Even within myself there are conflicts. This Pope has said and done nothing that is morally binding on me.

The Pope accepted the hideous thing in order to show Christian love/charity. I seriously doubt he knew what to say. I mean what do you say when someone hands you something that hideous?

BTW, for good or for bad. This Pope sure has a lot more people paying attention than did his predecessor. So over all, despite whatever crazy stuff he says next, at least people are thinking and talking.

How about get thee behind me Satan, and cast that hideous monstrosity out a window into the Tiber? He’s the pope, what could they do to him?

The Pope is a mortal man and he is not infallible. As I've said about Obama, he is NOT my pResident. And of Pope Frances I say, he is NOT my Pope. Blessed Pope John Paul II was MY Pope, a good man, a humble man who did good works and fought the Nazi's and commies during WWII. The Church has been infiltrated by the Left, it's true. I don't attend church services. I pray at home and receive Holy Communion at home on special holy days. The Catholic Church is in trouble and I pray they purge the commies from their leadership. In the meantime, parents can teach their children the Ten Commandments and their specific meaning as it pertains to everyday living, show them how to pray and make sure they say their prayers nightly, in short, adhere to the basic principles of what Christ has taught us. Do not give up hope and pray that the Church will one day return to the Church we once knew. Do not give up on God.
