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:

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?
You misspelled “obvious communist.”
And not only could be be, only the really stupid would deny it.
Protestantism is the first step in the degradation of authentic Christian theology and philosophy. Then comes Rationalism. Then comes Modernism, then comes Communism, and later comes the refined form of Communism tailored to South America known as Liberation Theology. You can thank the corrupted Jesuits for that.
It is not accurate to equate Pope Francis with the beginning of the cascade, he is more closely aligned with the final stages of metastasis.
He next moves are predictable. He will push for the Catholic embrace of gay marriage (Amoris Laetitia means Gay Love) and the canonization of two Alinskyites; Caesar Chavez and Martin Luther King Jr.
I can't explain the whole thing so here's an article that will serve as a primer.
Remember the good old days when the question “Is the Pope Catholic?” was directed at Captain Obvious?
It’s the message, not the messenger. Follow Jesus, not man. JMHO
Protestants are far more Christian than this pope ever has been.
Don’t go starting some kind of “Who is more Christian” war on FR. That isn’t Christian.
My reaction too.
The REAL question is, 'Is this man a Christian?'
He’s Secret something alright
Why, won’t he embrace the homos?
Sadly, it has little effect because communists, as part of the wacko uber left, is not considered extreme left by the left anymore. In fact basically nothing is. It’s part of how they now dare call unrepentant Alinskyites and McGovernites centrest or even right of center ... and how some nutty Soviet era holdover useful idiot like Sanders is considered a better choice by many in the DNC.
“The dude wouldn’t even make a decent Northeast Episcopalian.”
I have to respectfully disagree. Most of the Piskies I know are convinced he is one of them.
80% of evangelicals voted for Trump. We’ll take Pope Francis - if he repents, resigns, and agrees to follow what scripture reveals instead of anything he feels on a given day.
Socialist? Absolutely!
Communist? Certainly communist-leaning, dominated.
Don’t insult us like that
What’s a fourflusher?

If you mean the Church's authentic teachings --- what Christ teaches us through the Church --- then the objective is to serve Christ and to manifest our love for Him.
John 14:15-21
If you love me, keep my commandments.
The kicker is, this Pope is against papal teachings.
Some jokester published a parody list of Pope Francis "New" Ten Commandments. The first one was: "I am the Lord thy Pope. Thou shalt not heed strange Popes before me."
LOL!
