If there was any doubt, Pope Francis has shown his colors.

The False Prophet, paving the way for you-know-who.

"Unexpectedly."

So many parallels between Obola and Frances.

So if this Pope declares that homosexuality is no longer a sin, does that mean Catholics now have to accept and support it? Because “infallibility.”

[Dr. Thorne]

Note to FR Catholics: Pope Frank is selling you out.

[what's up]

The Catholics have been fiscally liberal for a long time.

Now they're also becoming socially liberal. It's my guess that they are moving left socially because they are terrified of losing their socially liberal funds from Gov't.

[Yashcheritsiy]

how long will it be until the FReeper Catholic contingent agrees to become “gay positive”?

Cardinal Burke was elected by the Synod. Cardinal Wuerl “unexpectedly” appointed by Pope Francis.

What does that say about the Synod?

[Alex Murphy]

Actual title of the article:
Cardinal Burke a pariah? Not for the Synod Fathers! - Pope unexpectedly names 6 liberals, including Wuerl, to draft report

Cardinal Burke was among those elected by his fellow bishops of one of the three English-speaking circles (the Anglicus A) as moderatore (chairman) of the group to help in the writing of the group reports that make the final report. There were many "conservatives" elected in the different groups, including Cardinal Sarah, moderator for Gallicus (French-speaking) A, Abp. Léonard, relatore (rapporteur) for Gallicus B; Cardinal Bagnasco, moderator for Italicus B; Cardinal Robles Ortega, moderator for Ibericus (Spanish-speaking) A.

So, what was the Pope's response to these surprising votes?

He personally appointed ad hoc, and without prior announcement on this before the synod, six other prelates for the composition of the final report (the "Relatio Synodi"), all known as strong liberals: Cardinals Ravasi and Wuerl, Abps. Victor Manuel Fernández, Aguiar Retes, and Bp. Peter Kang, and the Superior General of the Society of Jesus Fr. Adolfo Nicolás Pachon.

Jesuit piece of garbage.

There are so many who disagree with his “colors”. There will be intransigence or backlash on this by cardinals and bishops who disagree.

[MeganC]

If there was any doubt, Pope Francis has shown his colors.

Yep.

[Loyalist]

Incredibly, this means that the Westboro Baptist Church has more of the Catholic sensus fidei on this matter of doctrine and morals than have the Synod relators.

Mind you, that's comparing different degrees of error, but the late Fred Phelps and company act least recognize sodomy as one of the sins crying out to heaven for vengenance.

[kenmcg]

Apparently the “queer wing” of the Catholic clergy has taken over the church. This will bring more cover ups for clergy sexual abuse of young innocents.

[Sans-Culotte]

Wow. Never thought I’d say it so soon into the century: “The Pope has jumped the shark”. Somebody needs to photoshop the pic of Fonzie, I guess.
