The ecclesiastical scandal (confusing the faithful about what is proper in our Catholic faith) promulgated by Pope Francis remains significant and ongoing. The lack of a response to the Dubia concerning reception of Holy Communion to those divorced and remarried without an annulment, the apparent stacking for the upcoming synod for youth, the acquiescing to the Chinese Communist government on the appointment of bishops, and the delayed response to the latest clerical/episcopal scandal/coverup cast grave doubt upon his papacy. Remember, a Polish Pope, a B-grade actor (Reagan), an Iron Lady (Thatcher), and an uneducated shipyard worker (Walensa), with the grace of God, freed millions of people from Communism domination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-87557665741508982922018-09-22T22:16:18.068+01:002018-09-22T22:16:18.068+01:00I disagree with you emphatically concerning the po...I disagree with you emphatically concerning the popularity of Pope Francis. He is extremely popular here in the United States and we do pray for him. The majority of us pray that he has long and fruitful reign.In my opinion he emulates Jesus more than any pope in history. Read the history of past popes and you'll find that for the most part they were frequently power-hungry and NOT Christ-like. I loved St. John Paul II, but I honestly believe he was so very ill in the few years before he died that those guys in the Vatican ran things.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118458694275954332noreply@blogger.com
