From Monsignor Pope:
I would like to make, as a parish priest in trenches, a few remarks concerning the Pope’s recent statements in Rome at a gathering of priests and seminarians. Others have admirably remarked on his troubling remarks on marriage and cohabitation. I will not add to those. But I would like to focus on two other reported remarks the Pope made about priests to the effect that some of us are cruel, are putting our noses into people’s moral life and possibly that he even called some of us animals.

Pope Francis incredulous remark that priests who concern themselves with sickness of the soul are 'animals'.
He may be the anti-pope, but he’s not the Pope.
I think you mean ‘incredible’. ‘Incredulous’ would mean that Pope Francis does not believe what he is saying.
Bergoglio hates priests. Bergoglio hates [canon] lawyers. Bergoglio hates Catholics.
Keep shoveling in the pasta. Keep getting fatter and fatter. DON’T exercise.
This is the pope of political correctness not Catholocism.
The other day he said we should disregard his usual batherings. He acknowledged that he has no filter between brain and mouth; that it’s all just verbal diarrhea.
Monsignor Pope let.it.fly. Wow.
Finally someone speaks, willing to take the risk.
Excellent comments too.
Did I miss something in the Bible about a “pope”???
Funny that that word struck you as well. For me, in this context, I thought incredulous means that all of us can't believe Francis said this or that. The only thing that would be incredulous for me would be if he actually preached the Catholic Faith.
“Incredulous’ would mean that Pope Francis does not believe what he is saying.”
“Funny that that word struck you as well. For me, in this context, I thought incredulous means that all of us can’t believe Francis said this or that. The only thing that would be incredulous for me would be if he actually preached the Catholic Faith.”
incredulous: not able or willing to believe something : feeling or showing a lack of belief.
I always thought incredulous referred to a person or a person’s response, not a statement. A person can be incredulous. A person can be “not able or willing to believe something”. A statement can not.
I think the author meant to say unbelievable.
Yes, thank you. The comments..
Dementia had crossed my mind, as well. Dementia is the only charitable excuse many of us can come up with for the man’s behavior.
It is sad, in any case, that a pope could be so spiritually and even intellectually *lost*.
Read this.

And also go read the comments on the Catholic Register website.
Yes, unbelievable would be what he meant. But what I am saying is that it is very believable.
