It bothers me because I believe you are mistaken. I think Pope Francis will go down as the Great Evangelizing Pope.

You know I am humble enough to admit that I could be wrong. However, every time I think I might be wrong, he comes along and says/does something that a pope shouldn’t do or say. He just reinforces my overall belief that the current Church has been infiltrated by Modernists so much so that they have reached the top.

I think Pope Francis will go down as the Great Evangelizing Pope.

He effectively confirms error through various words, actions and omissions.

A short list of examples: He has publicly counseled Muslims to read the Koran, he has promoted Cardinal Kasper and praised his heretical theology, he speaks with Eugenio Scalfari and makes outrageous statements which Scalfari is then accused of falsifying (rinse, repeat). How is calling an adulterous woman and telling her she can receive Holy Communion evangelizing? And let's not forget his public participation in religious services outside the Faith, which promotes the error that false religions are on a par with Catholicism. And likewise his mockery of practices such as Rosary bouquets and abuse of the FFI (people who would have been considered ordinary Catholics before VII and before the post-VII apostasy) is harmful to true evangelization.

Seems like he's embarked upon an anti-evangelization spree since his election (shortly after which he withheld the Sign of the Cross at a press gathering in order to avoid offending non-Catholics).

"Poor Holy Father," said Jacinta, "there is a great need to pray for him." Clearly, these words are especially true of Pope Francis.
