What on earth is Pope Francis doing?
Renew America ^ | July 15, 2015 | Louie Verrecchio

Posted on 07/16/2015 12:22:13 PM PDT by detective

From the laughable notion that recreating the Petrine Office in one's own image and likeness is a mark of "humility," to the dog-and-pony press conference that presented the 40,000 word Eco-Marxist manifesto Laudato Si' to the world as a contribution to the social doctrine of the Church, the current pontificate is so lacking genuine Catholic character that its official messaging often gives off the unmistakable stench of a spin job deliberately crafted to deceive.

The farcical tones that began emanating from Rome in the early evening hours of 13 March 2013, apparently detectable to but a relative few early on, have been growing louder and louder ever since.

I am a devout Catholic. My faith is very important to me. I am very active in my parish and volunteer many hours.

I am concerned about Pope Francis. I believe his action show that evil has infiltrated the hierarchy.

The Catholic church is the one true church founded by Jesus and the Apostles. It is blessed with the teachings of Jesus Christ and a rich 2000 year tradition. It has survived bad Popes in the past. It will survive this.

Well, Pilgrim, that's because it is.

Pope Francis seems to have confused being elected spiritual leader of the Church with being elected ‘political leader’ of the world.

The Church will survive this ...

No true Church is so wickedly opulent as the Roman Church. Christ, if we were on earth in the flesh, would have no place in such a gaudy clap-trap.

Who would have guessed I’d have the worst President of my lifetime and the worst Pope at the same time?

I didn't know he had an action show.

Is it animated or live.. like the A-Team?

You should post a link to his action show, I want to see it.

For an American to have Obama as President
Is as a Catholic to have Francis as Pope

That’s exactly what he’s doing. And he thinks he’s doing it for the Church’s survival. There is a pathway that is filled with good intentions , but I forget where it leads.

The Church is a huge organization. Setting religion aside for a moment, who’s to say that the Peter Principle can’t operate there, on the administrative side?
