A German cardinal in the Catholic Church remarked that Pope Benedict would never have approved Pope Francis' recent edict allowing priests to bless people in same-sex relationships.

Or under John Paul II.
Or under any previous Pope. Even under the “bad” Renaissance-era popes.
I am not Catholic but have many dear Catholic friends. What say Catholics here as to what this Pope is doing?
What do we say?
We say, “Anathema sit” (”let him be anathema”),
“Or under John Paul II.”
I miss him soo much, on steroids.
Francis is the woke enemy.

“The Chair Of Peter Is Vacant”.

This Pope is trying to say two contradictory things at once. He actually uses this as a strategy. He thinks he is clever.
I think his double talk is diabolical myself.
A disgrace, 3rd secret of fatima, the corruption of the church
Those bad popes from the high middle aged were interested in real estate, coffers of gold, wenches, etc. But they never dared to change any of the teachings of the Church, or touched the Liturgy. Francis is worse by his heresy, and who knows what kind of bacchanal he and his pals are having behind the scenes.
This evil pos is NOT the Pope, he’s squatting in the seat.
Francis wants to change God’s Law.
