So that certain Catholics can still tell other Catholics not to bash the pope? C’mon. I ignore the “protestant hate”. It is of no consequence to me.
There is a difference between discussing and bashing. The fact of the matter is most just want to bash. Whose soul does that help? We are to respect the office he holds whether we agree with him or not. Yes, some things he says are not understandable and you ask yourself why in the world would he say this and that, but we still have to pray for him. How many times have you gone to the true source of a “media” headline and found what they have said is twisted to mean something else. The devil wants all this confusion surrounding the pope. He knows if he can get people to turn against him, it is only a hop and a skip to get people to turn against the church. That is his end game. He knows that is how he will earn the most souls. So please pray for Pope Francis and our church.
