[Mount Athos]

You’ve made some bad assumptions here.

I am troubled at the pope’s non-traditionalist statements, saying “who are we to judge” and so on.

I’m also not Roman Catholic.

I just think you people are completely insane for judging this pope based on a generic form letter thank you sent by a staff member in response to gifts given.

It doesn’t say anything you hallucinatory people think it says

Mt. Athos, you didn't have to tel me you aren't a Catholic. That has been quite obvious to me.

In the letter of response Monsignor Peter B. Wells wrote that "His Holiness is grateful for the delicate gesture and for the sentiments that I have suggested," and "calls for a more profitable activity in the service of the young generations and the spread of authentic human values and Christians', imparting the apostolic blessing."

Francis' Vatican seems blind to the contradiction of sending the author of homosexual books encouragement to "go ahead," along with an exhortation to spread authentic human and Christian values. Here again we see the modernist confusion: what is affirmed in one place is denied in another.

The press office claimed the letter to Francesca Pardi, in response to a letter from her to the Pope after Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro banned 'gay' books from the city's schools, was meant to remain private, something which “unfortunately did not happen.”

Il Giornale, however, notes that Pardi received a warm, encouraging letter from Francis’ Vatican. Yet the Mayor of Venice who banned these books, received no such letter of congratulations.

Mayor Brugnaro, Il Giornale notes, is “too much in line with Tradition.”

“The review of the “banned books” by Venice’s mayor sparked outrage among gay and human rights groups, with sometimes Venice resident Elton John calling Brugnaro “boorishly bigoted.”

“He (Pope Francis) is a compassionate, loving man who wants everybody to be included in the love of God,” he (Elton John) said of Pope Francis. “It is formidable what he is trying to do against many, many people in the church that opposes. He is courageous and he is fearless, and that’s what we need in the world today… Make him a saint already, ok?”, Elton John.

You’ve made some bad assumptions here.

Not one statement in post 156 is an assumption. They are all factual. And you cannot refute the Truth. Oh, I forgot, you're not Roman Catholic.
