Pope Francis, "If Mary is not your Mother, you are an orphan!"

Pope Francis has been a breath of fresh air for many Catholics seeking greater liberty and a growing concern for conservative Christians who take issue with his comments about homosexuality and other cultural issues.
But the pontiff's latest statement is sparking an uproar from believers around the world. Pope Francis sent a tweet Tuesday that absolutely violates the truth of Scripture:
"The Christian who does not feel that the Virgin Mary is his or her mother is an orphan," Pope Francis tweeted.
As of the time I wrote this column it had been retweeted about 4,000 times and many of the responses were in appropriately unkind. It's not appropriate to attack the pope for his beliefs. It's more appropriate to share the truth...

How much scripture in response does one have to post before you see their position?

...”Remembering that your own death is imminent is helpful”....
As Christians we know we have eternal life ‘already’....why would we be concerned of our death? ....of course I can understand why catholics might have a mindset about that since you’re constantly surrounded by images that have no life to them.

The Catholic Church is neither evil nor satanic, and anyone who claims it to be so is quite deluded and possibly demented. So I guess just a few of your popes had; shall we say; personal reasons for ACTING so evil, satanic and deluded.
