GerminansGerminabit.Blogspot.com found out what happened at Francis’ December 10 audience for the seminarists of Barcelona.
• After the meeting, Vatican.va published Francis’ beautiful speech where he emphasised perseverant prayer, the priestly rosary of Bishop Saint Manuel Gonzalez, and told the seminarians to lose themselves in the tabernacle in moments of pain.
• In reality, Francis refused to read this speech, not written by him, but called it “boring” and asked the seminarians to quiz him instead.
• He told the seminarians that a priest in confession must “forgive everything” [paedophilia? racism?] and give absolution even if the penitent has no intention to make amends.
• A prudent priest who refuses absolution when necessary is for Francis a vehicle for an “evil,” “unjust” and “moralistic” judgement.
• Francis said that there are priests who have fallen into grave sins BUT are "with the people" (Francis named homosexuals and transvestites).
• He repeated that the seminarians should not be “rigid” and “clerical,” that they would not be good priests “just because they dress up as priests,” and that their life should not consist of climbing.
• Francis used a language which some seminarians described as “vulgar” which surprised the seminarians.

A person in a world leadership position should act dignified, be sincere and care about his people, and uphold the principles of their people, and work for the betterment of the their people. The Pope has become a disciple of Joe Biden.
Devout Catholic = Devout Christian ... NOT necessarily. Maybe this is why criminals who are Catholics and commit horrendous crimes aren’t worried about facing God as “my priest will wave his hands over me as I die and I’ll then shoot straight to Heaven”.
Pope satanfelcher is a leftist plant part of the lefts long con to take out the church and take out western civilization
DUH! He’s supposed to be GODLY!
Wasn’t he a bar bouncer in his younger days? This might help explain his penchant for vulgarity.
WHAT??? Being a Catholic is the ONLY way to get to Heaven, haven't you heard? You need to keep up with Catholic literature or you're going to miss out. Now, you go out and say 10 "Hail Marys" and think on these things.

From the article:
“must “forgive everything” [paedophilia? racism?]”
There’s something wrong with somebody who remotely equates racism to pedophilia.
I hear and obey!
Any examples or are you just FOS?
Here’s two examples:
Nancy Pelosi: Claims to be a Devout Catholic and yet has endorsed the slaughter of 63 million babies over the years. Has endorsed the gay marriage bill even though the Bible condemns gay relationships.
How about Joe Biden: Another Devout Catholic also endorses abortion on demand. Responsible for abandoning Afghanistan and let hundreds and maybe thousands die at the hands of the Taliban. Has also left our Southern border under control of the Cartels with hundreds of people dying trying to cross.
They seem to me to think as long as a priest waves his hand over them as they lay dying, they are forgiven for all past sins and that will satisfy God.
The Disneyfication of religion.
“is a leftist plant”
Bergoglio worked at food chemicals plant under the wing of Esther Ballestrino de Careag, an international communist activist who was employed as a chemist. It was during this woman’s mentorship of him that he entered the priesthood. Was he recruited as a saboteur?
The fact that he immediately joined the Society of Jesus makes me think, "Yes". He has never been know as an intellectual, yet they still accepted him.
My belief in a just God allows that they will get their just due when that time comes.
I'd recommend giving confession a try. My Priest friends claim that seeing non-Catholics is not at all unusual. Getting all that anger off your soul can only be a good thing.
Ask Tara Reade about being sexually violated by Joe Biden.
What about it?
What about it?
Digitally penetrating a woman without her consent and over her objections, is sexual assault. Isn't that a serious crime?
What's your point?
