The Pope has been a very unpretentious kind of man for years. When the author first encountered him, he was Archbishop of Buenos Ares, and he said to her, “Girl, call me Jorge Mario, we’re friends!”. Of course, she declined to do that, although she was touched at his openness.

From her lips to the pope’s ears. I hope he sees it, and reads it, and takes it to heart. Might do him (and us) some good.

Real Catholics are feeling abandoned by this Pope. I truly hope his intentions are good or he is being misunderstood and misinterpreted, but it seems like in these darkest of days for the world, we need someone who will help combat the evil forces that are becoming more powerful by the day. Not someone the evil forces admire. They use his words against the faithful. I pray for the Pope, but I must say I feel abandoned. He seems to be clueless of the elephants in the room.

She might also have added this whole debacle involving Cardinal Kaspar and Maradiaga - both close to the pope - on the question of communion for the divorced and remarried.

Kaspar the only speaker at the consistory, and Maradiaga publically beating up on the head of the CDF for defending the Church’s historical position on the question.

He has set the stage for false expectations on the question - just like the days before Humanae Vitae. The Church cannot change on this matter; just as it could not on contraception.

A very clever letter, disguised as revealing the Pope’s comments. Does the idiot writer realize that the Pope’s first language is NOT English?

“...when education and governments are in the hands of Freemasonry and the world economy in the hands of Zionism? Is this the best time of the Church?”

A humble Catholic would have sent this letter to the Pope himself and prayed that it might get there rather than have it published - it seems that criticism is allowed to walk it’s own course while not according any such grace to the Pope. A humble Catholic would have not gone to such lengths to paint themselves so low and give of themselves such a good account. A humble Catholic would not have written a letter that is so obviously an incite for those who think the same way and who want to undermine the Pope. Everyone wants to tell the Pope what to do and how to behave - I want to ask - did the Holy Spirit appoint and annoint the Pope or did He not? If so what criticism you have lay it at the feet of God! Is this a politician you are criticizing? He may be a little quirky and different - is that a fault or is that why God chose him? I swear if Jesus was appointed you would find much fault with him!

"but I cannot criticize him, because he is the Pope!"

Wow. I just don't get this way of thinking.
