I confess to being a lapse Catholic but my impression of this Pope is he is a far leftist communist with ideas harmful to the church in general and Catholic’s everywhere.
Why the leadership in the church picked this particular person makes me wonder what else is going wrong within the upper levels of the Vatican and Catholic church as a whole.
Something or someone is pulling strings that go against thousands of years of belief at a time when the LGBT community in the world has been weaponized. Are there that many Gay Cardinals and pedophile priests? It sure makes one wonder.
The problem I have with the LGBT community isn’t what they do to each other as consenting adults, although it’s not something I would ever consider, it’s that they want to shove their lifestyle down our throats, so to speak, and normalize it in Christianity. If that happens one day; it should happen organically and not forced by Gay Cardinals/Priests/Pope in the Catholic church.
JMHO, YMMV, FWIW.
...”Why the leadership in the church picked this particular person makes me wonder what else is going wrong within the upper levels of the Vatican and Catholic church as a whole”.....
Vatican Leadership in Rome is a wealthy political entity....this with power sufficient to move it’s members across the world..... Which is why we see Political Leaders every year go there to meet with whatever Pope is in power. World leaders understand it’s leaderships position politically.
The Pope is a figurehead who is the face of the otherwise power of the Cardinals, Bishops etc. which is highly corrupted.
