Pope Francis said Thursday that the majority of the words that come “spilling” out of his mouth are invalid because most of the time he doesn’t understand that what he says is permanent.
“We live in a culture of the provisional,” the Pontiff said, responding to a question about the “crisis of his pontificate.”
Francis said he often doesn’t comprehend the importance of what he’s saying when speaking off-the-cuff, which he said is “indissoluble.”
“Sadly in today’s pontificate, I don’t understand that what I say will have ramifications for not only my pontificate, but of the many pontificates to come,” he said. “I say something random, and people do not know what it means. And because people listen to me with the philosophy that I am the Pope, they believe I have fully contemplated and formulated what I am saying, which is, in many cases, not the case. This then makes what I say null.”
Francis went on to say that when Catholics have to spend most of their working lives defending what he says, and having to write blog posts or responses to comments on a combox asking if the “pope really said such and such,” clearly there is something invalid in many of the “weird, weird, weird” things that somehow manage to find their way from his brain to his mouth.
And so there is such a thing as the abuse of the power of suggestion.
So, is Pope Francis in this exerpt above, admitting he is too stupid for words, or just too stupid to be placed into this pontificate?
I hate saying that, but really? He is like a too chatty uncle at a family occasion and he won’t go home, even though most all have long retired from his company.
lol.
Seriously,it's obvious that this is satire because Pope Francis is far too arrogant, self righteous and egotistical to ever admit any thing he says could possible be incorrect.
You can’t make this stuff up.....this guy is addled.
He finally admitted it!!!!
Big DOPE SLAP for that!!
I’m a maturity snob and I say, “How dare you!”.
Can you say Dementia?
This may be satire, but by golly sometimes I DO wonder LOL
THE DUMBEST POPE EVER!!!! This TOO shall pass.
He’s telling the truth.
Oy ...
There is supposed to something in the title which identifies this as satire.
Het,Buddy....first the Pope is NOT infallible UNLESS it is in DOCTRINE, and he is NOT A KING, you putz.....pretty sure you KNOW this!!!
So... He doesn’t understand that he is the POPE??
Eye of the Tiber is a pretty big hint—it is like posting something from the Onion.
I am not Catholic so I usually stay out of “pope” threads, but I find this guy is really quite weird.
