This past Tuesday, Pope Francis delivered another mass in which he shamed abuse survivors and coddled child abusing priests. According to The Vatican's Official Website :
The Pope brought up that it was also the people who yelled “crucify him”. Jesus then compassionately remained silent because “the people were deceived by the powerful”, Pope Francis explained. His response was silence and prayer. Here the shepherd chooses silence when the “Great Accuser” accuses him “through so many people”. Jesus “suffers, offers his life, and prays”, Pope Francis said.
So, he is calling the abusive priests Jesus, and he is calling the survivors of childhood sexual abuse "the deceived masses." Seriously, WTF? The Vatican refuses to condemn abusive priests and stand up for abuse survivors, and it is disgusting.

This Pope is a joke, although not Catholic myself, I did send my son to Catholic school. How can any good person Catholic or not support his views? Seems he has gone against common Church tenets, to appease who exactly? Wrote a paper ten years ago in college on the downfall of the Catholic church for just these reasons

He's a damn heretic. Theologically speaking, the minute a "pope" starts spewing bullshit that controverts the teaching of the Church, he ceases to be the Vicar of Christ. Not to mention there are currently two popes, anyway, so his election isn't even clearly valid.

I have heard he's not a "valid" pope before. And definitely agree he seems to think he knows better than God. Had a Deacon try to defend him. Once I started quoting the Bible and pointing out the verses condemning his actions, he disappeared.

So many have been ill-formed, they can't see the farce. It would be mind-boggling, if I didn't know history.
