Could Pope Francis Be a Secret Protestant?

Posted on 12/04/2016 7:15:49 AM PST by pinochet

Pope Francis put up a statue of Martin Luther in a prominent place in the Vatican. He then received a delegation of Lutherans, who presented him with a copy of Luther's 95 Thesis. He then put on a blue scarf, representing the Lutheran tradition, at his meeting with the Lutherans.

See:

http://www.traditioninaction.org/RevolutionPhotos/A700-Luther.htm

Luther, who was historically considered a Catholic heretic and apostate, has received more honor from Pope Francis than most Catholic saints. On the other hand, conservative Catholic cardinals like Cardinal Burke and Cardinal Sarah, are treated like dirt.

What more evidence do we need, to prove that Francis is a secret liberal Protestant, who unexpectedly found himself holding the position of the papacy?

What incentive is there for a Catholic to remain obedient to the church's teachings, if the greatest heretic receives more honor than the greatest saints?

Not-so-secret Communist is more likely.

Is it now illegal in the USA to call a communist “a communist”?

This guy Francis is a fourflusher, traitor to the RC Church and an obvious plant of the devil. The sooner we can be rid of him the better. Somebody needs to put the mal occhio on this one fast.

He is only one man. The Church can and will outlast him as it has outlasted others before him.

No, he is a Marxist. That’s where his roots are. Just like Obama.

One cannot be a communist and a Protestant, so don’t try to pawn him off on us Protestants.

It’s one thing if you want to call the Pope a dirty commie. It’s something else when you compare a dirty commie to Protestants. This is a sh_tpost.

I’m not Catholic but it seems to me Benedict is still Pope, the real Pope.

You’re not the only one to conjecture his allegiance lies with the Lutherans.
