We can debate Biblical scripture, religious beliefs, creation vs evolution, etc. Someone please explain to me why this Cardinal got the votes to become a supposed direct line to God. Church politics? Personal feelings? Age? Next in line?
Also, please explain why Popes are so popular? Is it the need for so many to believe that a human being can be connected to a supreme being? I really don't get it. Watching this spectacle I'm thinking I'm observing an orchestrated reality show. If we wants to preach the wonderful teachings of Jesus Christ, I'm all for it. But no, for some reason he wants to be PC and lecture us on his own beliefs. Oops, that would be God's beliefs as transmitted to this elected man.
The Pope eats, pees, poops like any other human being. Why do millions think he is devine once the white smoke comes out? To me, it is cognitive dissonance. I'll say again, no wonder the Protestant movement came about.
Hey Pope Francis, while you're talking down to us, what do you have to say about all your priests who molest young boys? Pfft.
The Pope walks in Christ’s shoes. Usually they pick modest, humble and superlative people to be elected Popes.
Usually the Popes are so popular because they rarely step out to travel and when they do you have the head of the Catholic Church on earth visiting some of the 1.7 billion Catholics.
But Popes for decades now have made Cardinals from places where there is still child abuse by clergy and it is still a massive problem in Europe. There are major leftists Cardinals out there voting in the Pope.
This Pope exists because of:
#1 All of the progressive Cardinals that were made.
#2 The Church is dying and Francis being from Argentina can speak to the largest growth population in Catholicism which is Hispanics. Mind you the ethics of many of the peasants they are attracting are part Isis themselves.
Infallibility is related to religion, not politics.
When you get a peasant Pope who has no idea of how the growth of wealth can benefit charity and help others you get Francis with a capital F.
This Pope is turning off most all non-peasant Catholics with his non religion talk. I am Catholic, most all Catholics I talk to can’t wait for the NEXT POPE to be made.
Of course this one is making liberals orgasmic when a Pope is out there embracing the successful politics of socialist despite it being a huge failure in practice.
Mind you the socialists are Santa Clause government until they spend the Treasury and Tax Payer’s bank accounts. After that the socialist run countries are just packs of mobs still wanting all their stuff.
That is greed and selfishness without any productivity to do it for themselves and others. That is what this Pope with the capital F is pushing.
Francis is kind of like Obama in a Pope’s outfit IMO.
