Unfortunately for His Holiness there are a lot of Catholics who have not yet come to accept his enlightened views - and some of us have stopped attending Mass regularly. There are also countervailing voices in the hierarchy of the church. As a result He sometimes has to guard His words which He no doubt finds galling.
Please, don't! Look at my homepage. I went through something similar with the "Spirit of Vatican II" teachings promulgated by people, which were actually contrary to the true documents. It was the worst time for me! If ever there is a time when we need to stick closer to the Sacraments, it's now! Especially in the Eucharist, with Adoration. Please, don't let this shake your faith in the Sacraments and all the Church has to offer in love and Mercy that is beyond human comprehension-and controversy! God bless you, keep you, and guide you!
I’m wondering if he will tell us he’s pro choice.
I am fed up with this Jerk. He represents communist despots, not me.
There is no valid reason to stop attending Mass. It is a mortal sin to miss Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.
We have the worst Pope in 300 years, but refusing to go to Mass will do nothing good for the Church or the world.
The Pope is a Jesuit.True.
For Jesuits today the Catholic church is an implement for the advancement of the Marxist dialectic.Not all. There are some great SJ's such as Fr. Joseph Fessio at Ignatius Press, Fr. Mitch Pacwa at EWTN, Fr. Raymond Gawronski, members of the Ave Maria campus ministry (Fr. McTeague, Fr. Donovan) and others. The Jesuit-equals-bad equation does not always work.
Pope Francis's theology encompasses a good many things not normally contained in Catholic doctrine, from collectivization to sodomy.His "theology" --- I don't know what you mean by "encompasses," (wiggly word there) but but does not approve collectivization (in the sense of communism) or sodomy. To say it does, is a falsehood.
If he feels that supporting the "Green Movement" will advance the dialectic he will do so.We won't know very comprehensively what he DOES intend until his encyclical is published. So far, nobody here in laity-land has seen it. I favor "First the Evidence, Then the Verdict," unlike Alice in Wonderland's Red Queen.

Oh. "I disagree with some of the Pope's opinions, so I have decided to break with Jesus Christ and his Eucharistic Gift of Himself"? Your loss, my friend. I hope it will not your eternal loss.
Please take the 2 minutes necessary to r4ead #25.
I hope it may prove useful to you.
Those for whom his behavior has become such an occasion of sin that they are tempted to abandon Mass and the Sacraments would be better off spiritually to simply focus on adhering to the Deposit of Faith and tune him out.
