Anti-Pope Jorge Bergoglio. May his successor be installed in the very near future.
Bergoglio called a woman who did 10,000+ illegal abortions, with a suction device she made from a bicycle pump, “one of Italy’s forgotten greats.”
Bing for emma bonino pope francis.
Looks like one of those photos of JPII with Mother Teresa.
Anyone who thinks Bergoglio gives a rat’s ass about the murder of babies is deluded fool.
It’s hard to believe Tagle is as stupid as he looks—but I’m pretty sure he is.

Paul Ehrlich, Wrong Since 1968.
That’s a lot of rhetoric dodge
He’s s awful
He’s bad for the world not just you guys
Benedict was forced out is my guess for Satans work to get a foothold
Satan has always known good deeds are a helluva mask
Benedict was righteous anyone could see that
And yet...
I only wish that were enough, but I agree with cloudmountain. The pope is not the problem. If this pope’s papacy came to an end, either by death, resignation or removal, he would be replaced by another Modernist who is equally disgraceful. As evil as the behavior that this man has demonstrated may be, and I do see his governance as evil, he is only continuing the heretical thinking that was spawned by the Modernists of Vatican II.
Cloudmountain is correct, the problem is the bishops––and not just the German, Belgium and other European bishops––all of the bishops. Some, and only by comparison, appear less destructive than others (such as Burke et al), but not one of them appear to have the spiritual courage necessary to correct the serious and ongoing errors of the Church. But until we see one or more of them step forward and advocate a return to the teachings of the Church during the days of St Pope Pius X, the Church will only continue to erode.
And yes, there would be a price to pay for that bishop that steps forward to please Jesus Christ and not mankind. He would probably be quickly removed by the pope. But when faithful Catholics recognize that his removal was for following the true teachings of the Church, other bishops who recognize that their current path will only lead them to perdition, they will follow in his path. Then and only then might it be possible to see a change in direction.
I agree with your statement. We need BISHOPS with the will to do what is right, according to Jesus--NO ONE else.
There are brave bishops who would step forward. We pray for them every day.
No rhetorical dodge here. Just the facts and you know it.
1. THE POPE IS NOT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. I hope that penetrated your brain.
2. Also, WHY is he "bad for the world"?? That makes NO sense. Most of the world isn't even CHRISTIAN, let alone CATHOLIC. Popes have NO power, just a few Swiss Army guards with their funny clothes.
Their ONLY authority is on morals, nothing else. He can only TALK. WHY does anyone NOT Catholic listen to him? Why do YOU listen to him? If you're NOT Catholic he's NOT "your pope." Why ON EARTH do YOU care about him, what he does or what he says? OR are you considering becoming a Catholic?
3. Pope Benedict, not "Benedict," was NOT forced out. His own contemporaries said of him: "He has a TOWERING intellect and a backbone of TEMPERED STEEL." So if YOU think that a man like that could be "forced out" then you know NOTHING of him...NOTHING.
4. "Good deeds are a helluva mask." Are you NUTS?
Jesus told us to do "good deeds." Why are they a mask? Are they masking a GOOD HEART? Lol. You make NO SENSE at all with that statement.
However, this IS the FREE REPUBLIC and you are certainly entitled to your opinion, no matter how skewed I think it is.
That means "Peace be with you."
Demonic teachings and scandalous examples from those in high places (and the papacy, in the realm of bully pulpits, is the pinnacle) inevitably invade and become ruinous to the broader culture beyond that of the Catholic Church. The resultant spiritual carnage is not limited to Catholics.
Pope Benedict, not "Benedict," was NOT forced out.
If that is truly the case, then he is a co-conspirator -- a collaborator with this evil farce. Conferring official demi-pope status upon himself and swanning around the Vatican while endorsing the evils spewing from the mouth and pen of Bergoglio through his silence are certainly prima facie incriminating behaviors.
A horse's head in his bed.
Blather said it all well enough
You need to own this turd of a pope I hate to break it to you
The Pope leads your church on earth and he is plain and simple awful
The last two were inspirational and very very worthy overall
You parsing this progressive Pope would be akin to me defending Jim Baker or Swaggert if they led the Southern Baptist Convention and yes I’m not too happy with SBC leadership either nowadays
Sorry it’s a non starter
If these cardinals and bishops and other clergy run the church then why did they install him?
If not then that they share his breathing living document modernizing relativism perspective
Francis is like a 70s Mary Knoll became Pope
It’s nutty
Where did this shift come from
Which is why those of us who care about a righteous Pope suspect his predecessor was forced out to install this liberation piper
And if you don’t get it why a righteous Pope matters to the world I don’t think I can explain that to you
After Trump and the Chinese crony politburo he arguably is the worlds most influential figure
Of course there is the old adage “where’s his Army?”
How did it change from a COC that installed JPII and Benedict then maybe remove Benedict to elect this liberation theologian
Did the COC have a big shift?
I’m not privy to any catholic info beyond what I read here or what my kinfiljs say
They detest Francis
One said imagine Obama as Pope
I know there are competing forces in the church
And it shifts
Once Jesuits were doctrinaire but look at them now
Aren’t Benedictine orders considered conservative dogma whereas the aforementioned Mary Knolls are the opposite
Is it forced like these that captured the COC for progressives
In my experience and observing it appears to an outsider like me that run of the mill catholic clergy are more liberal than myself on all culture issues except abortion and that the meme of good works is more heavily weighted than for me as a southern baptist or presbyterianist
Many Catholics here extremely sensitive so if as every time I wander into Francis bashing I have to qualify what I appreciate about the historical church I will
It’s not for me but I sure respect the historical significance and civilizing force of the church
I do not like Francis but I held my fire early on till Catholics here could get up to speed on the unfolding reality of this man
Things like this in the church

Did they win?
PAX TIBI.
Convalescas ex aegroto mox.
Don’t freepmail your insults to me. Do it in public like you have some stones
Your Pope sucks
You own it
You really really own it actually
