My sister in law used to be the Parish Coordinator for one of the largest Catholic churches in town...and Catholic. I asked her once about why Catholics loved illegals so much. She said.....because they are the ones filling the pews now and most of the nuns and Priests come from other countries. Very few are U.S. citizens now.

Of course. We'll do that the MOMENT he swings open the gates to VATICAN CITY to all those muslims! POPE WITH OBOZO (TEXT)

RE: his obvious condemnation of gay lifestyles, etc when he spoke about the importance of the family unit and the attacks on it?

Here is the part of Pope Francis’ speech that one could say, vaguely refer to same-sex marriage :

_____________________________

Yet I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.

_____________________________

Where’s the condemnation?

The above statement is so general that Gay Couples can always take this as being allowed to marry and adopt children and hence, contributing to the “richness and the beauty of family life.”

Or that Francis is so afraid to be specific that he is being a wimp here.

[SeekAndFind]

Maybe he should read his Bible, especially those parts about how it’s wrong to steal, lie,

SEARCH RESULT ON THE TEXT OF POPE FRANCIS' SPEECH TO CONGRESS...

So an obvious question would be why the congregation is losing locals. Could it be that it is beginning to pander so much to factions that it is losing touch with more general theological matters?

This Pope is a disgrace to American Catholics ....

This Pope is a disgrace to all Catholics ...

[Mouton]

First off, as I catholic I have been taught he is infallible on only matters of FAITH. Everything else, he knows as much or as little about anything as I do. So, when he says something on a faith matter, I follow it. When he speaks about globull warming or climate change, or our border policy or social justice I decide not to listen. I do note though, no one comments about his stands on abortion, womyn priests, or fags, I wonder why??

One other thing, I guess donations are down so now he is pushing our government to take money from those who earned it and dispense it to those who did not. Old testament teachings precede his church office, he should acquaint himself with some of them, like if you don’t work, you don’t eat.

[taxcontrol]

Um, No

[FreedomGuru]

Hey Pope, how about you lecturing all the South American countries like the one you came from. Tell them to stop their policies to drive all the citizens out. Tell to stop their deplorable living conditions, their drug cartels.

Pope go home and STFU.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Too polite to offend Congress with that “bad word”

[Travis T. OJustice]

The USA should adopt the Vatican’s imigration policy. What could he say about us completely sealing off all borders like they do, huh?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Faith has a lot of ramifications. One of them surely (to assume a Roman Catholic context) is whether you will give credence to cock and bull accounts of nature that don’t have support either in the bible, or in good science, or even in traditional theology.

"With apologies to any Catholics in the house, but, the Pope is a dope."

He's a Jesuit, and they are typically highly-educated, but he does not seem very bright. I think it was reported that he hasn't watched television in 30 years, and maybe that partly explains why he seems almost totally blind to the decadence of modern culture.

People just don’t go to church like they used to. Religion is a lot less important to families now. Religion used to be where most family socialization came from. Not true anymore. South Americans and Mexicans still do a lot of their socialization through the church.
Has nothing to do with theology.

[HiTech RedNeck]

So it was just a habit, a custom, that was being jettisoned? Something that decorated lives but never filled or informed them?

That’s not a good thing to hear about any worship congregation. It’s not fulfilling its avowed purpose if that is so.

[Mom MD]

Maybe he better concentrate on what he was elected to do rather than to preach to us about open borders. He is not doing his own job and he needs to mind his own business.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Or that Francis is so afraid to be specific that he is being a wimp here."

That's a big part of his problem. His so-called condemnation of abortion and gay marriage was so vague that it could be - and mostly was - ignored by the secular press. Indeed, it was so tepid that some interpreted it as a de facto endorsement of those things, or at least an indication that those issues weren't particularly important to him.

[HiTech RedNeck]

More blatantly he’s taken advisors that he knows are not even believers. I wouldn’t expect a Catholic Pope to go ask Baptists for help but certainly there must be some good scientists somewhere in that vast segment of Christendom known as Roman Catholicism?

He’s gotten so close with the wolves that it is no wonder that his words are starting to read like “AROOOOOO!”

[Mom MD]

This pope is a disgrace
