your comment: “the guy is a coward and a hypocrite.”
Are you sure?
Perhaps you should really try to understand how the Pope is approaching problems.
He makes a statement that leans one way and then comes back with the opposite viewpoint so that we really think.
Did you hear his comment yesterday that Jesus was not a committed bachelor..... (he let that sink in which puzzled many Catholics)...... then responded that Jesus as the Bridegroom took the Church as His bride.
We all need to listen and understand and not just hear one side. The Pope wants us dialogue and solve problems. We cannot compromise with principles that Jesus taught us, and the Pope has not done so.
the pope wants others to solve the problems except those causing them....
why lecture a sympathetic audience in congress about oppressed people and people having the right to live dignified lives??? why not tell that to the castro brothers, some of the worse tyrants of the past half century, when you are sitting in front of them??
why?? cowardice....
why tell the United States they should accept more and more illegals and refugees when you don’t do the same where you presently live (Vatican city) or where you formerly lived (Argentina???
why??? hypocrisy...
maybe now you’ll understand why i call this guy a coward...here was here for almost a week but he waits until he’s on a plane heading home to make this statement:
