In an interview with “60 Minutes” airing this Sunday, Pope Francis takes aim at his “conservative critics” in the United States, reportedly saying a conservative is someone who “clings to something and does not want to see beyond that.”

“It is a suicidal attitude,” the pope said as reported by “60 Minutes,” which released a brief clip of the upcoming interview conducted by CBS’ Nora O’Donnell.

“Because one thing is to take tradition into account, to consider situations from the past, but quite another is to be closed up inside a dogmatic box.”

So, the word of God and the teachings Jesus are open to interpretation based on the current public morality?

Oh, that Jesus and that God.
Such old, conservative fuddy-duddies

The day can’t come too soon for Senor Bergoglio to be burning in hell with the rest of his communist heroes

The man just can’t help himself.

He was raised in Argentina as a Socialist/globalist/Peronist/statist and he’s spent his life trying to reconcile that with Christianity, which he will never achieve.

Always found it interesting (in a despicable sort of way) how the liberal media embraces catholicism over any other faith.

Of course with all the issues with pedophilia it stands to reason.

Old people straining to appear young and “with it” are always embarrassing.

Those with power (as in the White House or Vatican) are frightening and dangerous.

This Pope was chosen by a Leftist group to gain popularity and money from Third World types to make up for the continuing losses in the Western world. Pandering and twisting Scripture to try to gain support for the Left.

Exactly like Leftist politicians everywhere.

Francis is a liar.
Francis is leading people to eternal damnation.

Francis does not emulate Christ, nor does he lead people to Christ.

Francis is a servant of Satan.

My major issue with this pope is I am not concerned about the bathroom habits of bears.

A certain serpent had the similar opinion.

It’s incredible how many Catholics he has driven AWAY from the Church!

He is so far to the left, he might as well make campaign commercials for Biden.

Considering he is a communist Jesuit, anti-Christ, he is what he is.

JOHN PAUL II (KAROL JÓZEF WOJTYŁA) understood communism better than the current pope.
