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.

...its official messaging often gives off the unmistakable stench of a spin job deliberately crafted to deceive.

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

What on earth is Pope Francis doing?

Trying to secure his position in history as the worst pope ever?

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?

“It has survived bad Popes in the past.”

More correctly, it has changed under bad popes in the past, to what you see today. It is still here in a different form.

This latest is one more - and as bad popes go, he doesn’t break into the top 10...

Is Pope Francis a Marxist Prophet? (by Fr. Robert Barron)

Short answer by Fr. Barron is probably not. However, from the discussion there, most agreed Pope Francis is a willing fool to say the least. Few thought the Pope as naïve as Fr. Barron portrayed him, to survive the church hierarchy and becoming Pope.
