Confusing, ambiguous, name-calling (of "traditionalists" at least), and incapable of presenting basic doctrines of the Church in a coherent fashion. His judgment seems poor as well. <br /><br />"Nuns must not be too spiritual," "There is no Catholic God," "go out and make a mess," "Jesus has saved you," "everyone has their own idea of right and wrong," etc.<br /><br />I could go on and on. He makes John Paul II (whom it's no secret the Jesuits despised) and Benedict seem like "rad trade" at this point - - to say nothing of someone like Pius XII, who probably would be shocked to sit and listen to one of his off the cuff homilies.<br /><br />Let's remember that he's only the vicar of Christ, he's not Christ himself. we don't worship the pope.

His friends, the liberation theologians came out one after another and declared how delighted they are with his words and actions. The first of these was Leonardo Boff. Hans Küng also can´t believe his eyes and praises Pope Francis to the skies.<br />Last but not least all the "Catholics" over at NCR have come fully on board the Francis ship. <br />Some of them even declare all of his statements infallible.<br /><br />More here:<br />http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/P012__Infallibility.htmMartina Katholikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891671172843888683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149438906545544596.post-56407840450753923382013-10-08T21:33:07.278-04:002013-10-08T21:33:07.278-04:00His comments make me very uncomfortable; he makes ...His comments make me very uncomfortable; <i>he</i> makes me uncomfortable.<br /><br />I defended him to the hilt over the "who am I to judge" and the atheist comments, mostly because 1) he's the pope and a pope obviously wouldn't (shouldn't) say that, 2) the media took his comments and ran with them.<br /><br />Now, it seems, we have a totally different situation... he isn't being taken out of context (he doesn't need to be). His comments are so vague and ambiguous that they can be taken different directions depending on the person's political persuasion.. not only that but they seem to favor the progressive lens.<br /><br />The most strange statement is the <i>"I believe in God, not in a Catholic God. There is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation"</i><br /><br />What in the world does that mean? If you follow the logic forward from that statement, you would basically deduce that he is saying <b>the Catholic Church does not have exclusive revelation of God</b>... because <i>"there is no Catholic God"</i>. It's relativism, plain and simple.<br /><br />We know that Noah's ark represents the Church, <b>outside of which is no salvation</b>... I don't remember reading about people hanging on outside the ark, or reading about anyone on rafts.<br /><br />Anyway, I bet this made the Protestants happy.<br /><br />It does seem that the goals in the Masonic documents of the Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita (which Pius IX and Leo XIII asked to be published) have been achieved. <br />Not that it was their aim to place a Freemason on the chair of Peter, but to infect society with the principles of liberalism so much that eventually "a Pope and a hierarchy would be produced won over to the ideas of liberal Catholicism, all the while believing themselves to be faithful Catholics."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966727596691018620noreply@blogger.com
