Is this pope catholic?
For the past eight years, was the President American?
No.
He is a liar. He banishes Catholics, and cannot get enough snuggling with trannies, sodomites, fornicators, and abortionists.
This continues to be in the news. The leaks of Podesta emails reopened some questions on the Soros-Obama involvement with getting Pope Francis installed.
Catholics Ask Trump to Probe Soros-Obama-Clinton Conspiracy at Vatican
Did the Obama White House, the National Security Agency, and the International Monetary Fund officials force conservative Pope Benedict to resign in order to get pro-Marxist Pope Francis? By William F. Jasper
My wife and I have been talking this morning about this. She said that she is embarrassed to tell anyone she is a Catholic. Others in our parish must be as well. Because there were very few brought forth in the 'right of initiation.'
The gates of hell shall not prevail against Christ’s church and often the bad comes before a great wonder. I trust in God to deal with this and do what I can to educate and most especially, I pray.
He IS their Pope...their Vicar of Christ...like him or not he is the Catholic Head of their Church.....thank God Jesus Christ is the head of the body of Christ in all churches no matter what their denomination....
>> Everyone in Argentina remembers him very differently from how he later revealed himself to the world as pope. Taciturn, withdrawn, somber in expression, reserved even with crowds. Not once did he let slip a word or a gesture of disagreement with the reigning pontiffs, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. On the contrary. He praised in writing the encyclical “Veritatis Splendor,” very severe against the permissive “situational” ethics historically attributed to the Jesuits. He had no qualms over condemning Luther and Calvin as the worst enemies of the Church and of man. He attributed to the devil the deception of a law in favor of homosexual marriage.
>> But then he sent back home, “to avoid mixed messages,” the Catholics who had gathered outside of parliament for a prayer vigil against the imminent approval of that law. He knelt and had himself blessed in public by a Protestant pastor. He forged friendships with some of them, and also with a Jewish rabbi. <<
So his very being was a subversive lie?

b.a.: Is this pope catholic?
A. M.: No. ...
These thoughts are impossible.
Is he Catholic or is he the Pope?
The Catholic Church teaches that he cannot be both. This is absolute truth.
You must decide and it is very important that you get it right. Is the man a Catholic or is he the Pope?
(A man can be a sinner and be Pope but he cannot be Pope if he teaches heresy, according to the Church. Recently Pope Pius XII has himself pointed this out.)
Find a strong bible preaching church and you won’t have to feel ashamed.
Catholicism isn’t Gods church. It is a distorted spinoff from Gods church. It happened around the 3rd century.
It is important for SOMEBODY to decide, but it is of no importance for YOU or ME to decide.
Whether Bergoglio is Pope or not makes absolutely no difference in my life. My knowledge of, and practice of, the Catholic Faith are absolutely unaffected by his bloviations.
Is it not sinful to disobey a Pope’s teaching?
Is it not sinful for a Catholic to say he doesn’t care what the Pope has to say?
If so than what you just said cannot be true.
No, and no.
Wrong and wrong. But you (should) know that.
I can read the Bible on my own. No disrespect intended. But, for me, being Catholic is like being a Marine. One is alway one.

narses: No, and no.
R&B:
What good is it to proclaim aloud the dogma of the supremacy of St. Peter and his successors? What good is it to repeat over and over declarations of faith in the Catholic Church and of obedience to the Apostolic See when actions give the lie to these fine words? Moreover, is not rebellion rendered all the more inexcusable by the fact that obedience is recognized as a duty? Again, does not the authority of the Holy See extend, as a sanction, to the measures which We have been obliged to take, or is it enough to be in communion of faith with this See without adding the submission of obedience, — a thing which cannot be maintained without damaging the Catholic Faith?
…In fact, Venerable Brothers and beloved Sons, it is a question of recognizing the power (of this See), even over your churches, not merely in what pertains to faith, but also in what concerns discipline. He who would deny this is a heretic; he who recognizes this and obstinately refuses to obey is worthy of anathema.

Happened during one of the Holy Spirit's lengthy and unauthorized vacations, no doubt.
