Pope Francis raised some eyebrows while discussing sex abusers, whom he labeled “children of God” who deserve love and “pastoral care” — as well revolting “enemies” who must be punished.
The pontiff made his remarks last month during a private meeting with a group of Jesuit priests in Hungary, but they were only published Tuesday by La Civilta Cattolica, an Italian Jesuit journal.
“How do we approach, how do we talk to the abusers for whom we feel revulsion? Yes, they too are children of God. But how can you love them?” Francis was quoted as saying.

That’s exactly what a fake pope would say.

The Bible says they need a millstone around their neck and thrown into the sea. Who is correct?

Yeah, that will win people back to a rapidly declining Catholic church.

Friggin Frankie da Pope has lost all his rosary beads. The Church needs to go find a real Pope. That’s the only way it will survive.

The idiot is trying to make a conventional point about Christian love of your enemies and those for whom you feel revulsion, and the ability of anyone to achieve redemption, but he is completely tone-deaf with his example and how he presented it.

Yes, God does love us, but he doesn’t love some of the things we do. And as the good father he is, I suspect discipline of some kind is in order.

The RC church is a home and shelter for the wicked in this day. On twatter various people still pimping the church because it’s a frontier for pr0n. “Sexy catholic women s**w like bunnies!” “I went to church wearing a sexy poofy dress today! I can’t wait to get home and have sex with my sexy sexy husband! We’re going to have a million kids!”
As a student in catholic school grades kindergarten through 8, I learned about corruption and favoritism; I learned that MONEY TALKS; I learned that it’s all right for priests to run card games and other grift/fraud scams because “separation of church and state” means we can commit crimes and get away with it.
(Note: I’m not claiming that I’m NOT a sinner. I know I am. I have a lot of things about me to fix. But my experiences with evil have helped me be able to identify it in a way very few others can. Thank you Jesus.)

Convinced the Pope impersonatoris the product of the devil. He sure isn't Christ like.
