Is the Pope Catholic? That’s not a rhetorical question.

I’ve said it vefore...he has dementia...and as a communist, he’s twice as dangerous. When are they going to get rid of him.

If a pope from a few hundred years ago did what this one does, they would have burned him as a witch.

This pope is f888ed up. He’s an idiot, an illiterate, a dummy, the list goes on. Did he just look at the pretty pictures and ignore the text? No one can be stupider than him. He has to be the anti Christ. I do wonder if he’s gay. He has to be.

By his fruits we will know him.

pope francis is tarnishing the name of Saint Francis.

[Brad from Tennessee]

I was hoping this guy would end celibacy for priests and nuns and encourage marriage. Instead he moves toward legitimizing the worst traits of the church.

The problem is not so much that the Pope is a heretic, it’s that there is no contingency plan for something like this. There is no way to “recall” a Pope. Under canon law the Pope’s word on almost everything is final and not subject to review from this side of the pearly gates.

Unfortunately I see a huge crack up coming. The Roman Church is beginning to look a lot like the Anglican Communion with the gulf between the Episcopal wing of the church and the more conservative/traditionalist so wide that they have little in common.

How long can this last? What will conservative/trad Catholics do? Indeed, what can they do?

[demshateGod]

I have something to say. According to Catholic doctrine the pope is the vicar of Christ. Vicar is where we get the word vicarious. It means “stand in.” The pope is Christ’s representative according to doctrine. This doctrine is fundamental to Catholicism such that questioning it makes one a heretic.

Francis must have slept through when God said, “Honor thy father and mother.”

[Gay State Conservative]

Although I realize that what I've read about this Pope may be substantially inaccurate if,by chance,it *is* accurate then as long as he remains in office John Paul II is *my* Pope.

[Lazamataz]

This guy is CLEARLY Peter the Roman.

THIS IS THE LAST POPE.

The Catholic Church is dead.

[celmak]

This may split the Church.

[Carry_Okie]

From JPII, to Benedict, to this?

Unbelievable. This is what they get for electing a Jesuit, buncha know-it-all morons.

[RetiredArmy]

Well, he did say that our good works will get us into heaven even though we don’t believe. My Bible says your good works without belief will only get you into hell. Guess he has not read THE Book. And he is now going to be the global warming guru. Obama’s best butt kissing buddy.

...including a single parent hippo...

If the singleness is the result of widowhood (for example) that's fine.

...a mixed race dog couple...

No problem there.

...and kangaroos that have adopted polar bear cubs...

So is he fine with a human couple seeing their pet chimp as a child?
