The Pope that keeps on giving

Many of us Catholics will be in the forest until this guys passes on.

Each day I wonder how many heresies this guy can promulgate and each day he illustrates more heresies. How long before he adds a minaret to St. Peter’s Basilica? Will he rename a major church for St Ali? or St. Fatima? St. Henry VIII?

It’s not a “denomination”. It’s the Church; and It’s head is Jesus Christ.

“...Jesus is coming for us in 71 days ...”

I’ll buy your house for 10 cents on the dollar right now.

**Pope Francis Opens Door to Non-Catholic Saints**

Ridiculous.

I have a personal admiration for Saint Abraham.

[piusv]

This is nothing new for him. He’s just putting it on the books now.

[piusv]

John Paul II spoke of the “ecumenism of the martyrs” and Francis speaks of the “ecumenism of blood,” as if the Church teaches that non-Catholics who are killed for virtuous reasons are certainly and immediately saved. This is not the case. As the Council of Florence teaches

"Saint" JPII....like I said, nothing new.

If you think “saints” is an absolutely univocal term, in all languages, all places, and all centuries, then you must be one of those people who say that the Constitution calls for the government to give out “WELFARE.” After all, it’s mentioned in the Preamble and in the “general welfare clause.”

Well, there's a leap of (il)logic if ever I saw one.

If you were familiar with the use of the word *saint* as found in Scripture, you would know that the word is used for all believers living here on earth now, not some special class of supposedly holier than everyone else Christian.

James tells us that being respecters of persons is a sin.

Why does the Catholic church promote it?

[Jeff Chandler]

Harvey Milk, Nelson Mandela, Yassar Arafat, Hillary Clinton . . .

For the first time EVER, Protestants will be able to get into heaven!

Hate to bust your bubble....but anyone who has faith in Jesus is going to Heaven.

24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. John 5:24 NASB

[castlegreyskull]

Too late, Jesus already done this.

[Arthur McGowan]

It was a joke.

Monomaniacs can rarely detect humor.

[ealgeone]

Yeah....Ok. Then.
