It has nothing to do with Francis. The Church survived the Medici Popes and it'll survive Francis. The question is whether or not you believe Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, Creator of all that was created, "misspoke" when He said the gates of Hell would not prevail against His Church.

If you believe Christ stated a fact rather than making a little mistake in how He phrased things then Francis is just dust in the wind.

As such, blabbering about Francis just adds to the general flow of anti-Catholic trash being spread and doesn't do a thing to help faithful Catholics. Were the same questions addressed among fellow Catholics that would be one thing.

Blabbering about Francis like he controls the ultimate destiny of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Christ Himself founded while standing in a crowd of anti-Catholic comic quoting hype artists is something entirely different and definitely aiding and abetting the anti-Catholic crew.

Actually, no. One can still believe in Christ’s words and recognize that Francis, by his words and actions, can be leading souls away from Christ. Francis is not a Medici. I’d rather have a Medici. Medicis may have sinned terribly, but they still preached the Catholic Faith rather than preaching Modernism.

Those here who seem to think Francis’ actions and words are just “dust in the wind” and have no real consequences for others, need to stop insinuating that the rest of us are “blabbering” and don’t believe in Christ’s words. If Francis” words adds to the anti-Catholic sentiment on this site, then one needs to consider that that is FRANCIS’ fault. Lay the blame where it belongs.

Besides, the non-Catholics here know full well that despite our views on Francis, we defend the Catholic Faith.
