With the Homosexual Issue, Pedophile Priests, and many other heretical things, I am afraid I am getting out (actually, I got out a long time ago):

Revelation 18:4 - And I heard another voice from heaven, saying , Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

He now seems to be putting people that got married by an Elvis impersonator or anyone else (outside the church) on the same footing with Catholics who were married in the church. He wants them to be able to receive communion, be godparents, teach sunday school, etc. Has there ever been a more loose cannon or another pope that has utter contempt for Catholic doctrine?

The pope answered several questions about the October 2014 Synod of Bishops on the family, which considered a controversial proposal to allow some divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive Communion even without an annulment of their first, sacramental marriages. By church law, such Catholics may not receive Communion unless they abstain from sexual relations, living as “brother and sister” with their new partners.

Regarding such Catholics, “we posed the question, what do we do with them? What door can be opened for them?” Pope Francis said. “Communion alone is no solution. The solution is integration.”

The pope noted several currently prohibited activities, including teaching Sunday school and distributing Communion, that he said amounted to the de facto excommunication of divorced and civilly remarried Catholics.

“Let us open the doors a bit more. Why can’t they be godfathers and godmothers?” Pope Francis said, dismissing the objection that they would set a poor example for the baptized.
