Said one on a thread which started with the simple premise of the Pope giving away gifts gathering dust to help the poor.

You make him sound...so humble and...good. And a generous kind of fella. And you have no idea who he is.

But I got what you were saying to me and understand it fully.

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.
