It’s a very good and rather frightening article. Francis is clearly the Obama of the Catholic Church - an autocratic, self-obsessed, arrogant populist.
Referring to Francis’ failure to meet with bishops, while Benedict had long meetings with them, the author writes “In this way Benedict applied the principle of communion. Pope Francis, on the other hand, seems to be one who gives instructions, more than one who exchanges opinions, a man alone at the helm who is fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time.”
All this after an alarming analysis of the unpredictability of the current Pope, who seems to have no plan and just waits for a media opportunity to present itself so that he can rush forward and make some completely confusing statement of his opinion - not that of the Church.
You wrote” “Pope who seems to have no plan and just waits for a media opportunity to present itself so that he can rush forward and make some completely confusing statement of his opinion - not that of the Church.”
Oh boy, well-put. I’m a catholic and a conservative, and I’ve been walking around sick at heart since Pope Frank started babbling about man-made global warming.
I think you guys HAVE BEEN MADE to be pre-occupied with YOUR leader while the pos in the White House continues (with less Catholic opposition ... you're all too busy defending/analyzing the pope) to carry through the plan to destroy ANY Christian influence in the world.
It has been pointed out that we are not as Christian a nation as we'd like to be or think, but we ARE the biggest Christian influence in the world.
IF what I just said even touches the truth, the pervasive evil in this world is more powerful than what we thought ... nor can handle
Father ... bring revival .... or us home ... in Jesus' name. Amen.
