First of all, Resettozero, I don’t think you should have been told to go away.

“you have no idea who he is”

I don’t agree with everything Francis has done. I don’t like the demotion of Cardinal Burke and the “Who am I to judge?” statement is being abused by liberal Catholics and secularists to affirm people in immoral behavior with the idea that the Pope is about to change Commandments, doctrine and dogma, which he has no power to do.

Having said that, I know a lot of people here don’t know who the Pope is because his positions are almost caricatured. What has he been saying lately? He has been saying families headed by homosexuals are not real families. He’s been saying there can be no such thing as gay marriage. Recently he said that the exiting of the father from the home is directly tied to social disintegration. He constantly condemns relativism. 99 out of 100 things he says are no different than what John Paul or Benedict were
saying. But here you get so much gossip, idle speculation, and erroneous interpretations of what he said. And then there are the mindreaders: Oh, this is what he really means and thinks.

I think people here are being manipulated about Pope Francis.

If by "here" you mean this FR religion forum, and if by "manipulated" you mean to not accept the RCC slant on every news item regarding this particular church leader, then we agree.

Not being Roman Catholic, some posters here are freer than others to observe and comment on the news without having been indoctrinated how to always think like a Roman Catholic ought to think.

Missing from your post is any indication that you realize that I do not recognize this man as the main leader of Christians on Earth. But I do realize he is at the head of the RC church headquartered in Italy.

The Lord Jesus Christ alone is the Head of His own Church and I am one member of His Body.
