I just love how extreme catholics can't be as open and accepting as their holiest person in the church. It's just so sad

I always hate when he is shown as an example of a "good catholic". He stated that women cannot get any power in the church "because jesus chose men to be his followers", called selfish to childfree couples or that had "only" one child. Refused to fight the pederastia, sexual abuse and slavery cases in the vatican. He is a bit more modern than the others but not a good guy

The Bible says to love them for who they are and not what they've done so he is right

That sounds stupid, but sedevacantism is a thing. They are a sect of traditionalist Catholicism that believes the Vatican II (and particularly the Dignitatis Humanae declaration about religious freedom) was BS and the subsequent popes are usurpers. For a sedevacantist, Francis is obviously not a true Catholic.

I wouldn't go to the Pope for religious lessons, for paedophilia lessons, probably.

its almost as if each person utilises the structure of religion to make up their own rules in order to justify anything they want to be able to justify....

The best pope in a millennium! A true humanitarian.

Which answers the age-old question, "Is the pope catholic?"

My man defines catholic.

Also he is a true christian

Hilarious Catholics saying the Pope is wrong. I was raised Catholic, still am, and have a wonderful gorgeous trans girlfriend. Not all Catholics hate LGBTQ. Some of us are just normal people who happen to believe a certain religion.

And this is why Catholics are heretics

just bc hes the pope doesnt make him a perfect catholic

I laugh... Dont know why.. He is not true catholic.. Oh my GOD

I thought catholics were to take the word from the Pope as coming from God?

Ashley Hutcherson, I guarantee he's a true Catholic, a good Catholic, & the reason some of us are considering listening to the church after leaving (call myself a recovering Catholic for a reason - I'm 56). And from your one hate filled, uninformed, small- minded and just plain stupid comment, I can also guarantee he's a MUCH better person than you are. I've disagreed with the Catholic church most of my life - no women priests, no divorce, no birth control, nothing but male/female relationships or marriages, etc - but he is trying to bring the church into the 21st century. I was taught God loves us all, regardless and I should do the same. I try, but I'm happy to make an exception in your case.

I think Ashley needs to get her butt in gear and begin an impeachment hearing.

catholic: universal . . . liberal , the opposite of exclusive . . . from the Greek for universal

Ain't even going there.............................

He never explicitly endorsed same sex marriages. He was just endorsing already existing human behavior that happens to be based on love.

The Pope is merely a man.

I'm pro LGBTQ, but that guy is a creep. As a Christian, no man should act as if he's got the only ticket and have ppl kiss his ring and bow at his feet. He's just like everyone else. Period.

He is definitely a true Christian, however, as he is not judging... But following the Law of the Christ which is Love.

Francis is such a great Pope!!! He brings more heathens to Catholicism every day.Why didn't all other Popes think like him?

You are the pope but we do not grant you the rank of catholic. Mace Windu, 19 BBY

Oh god where to start…

How old is he??

Catholic Church gets more blasphemous every day.

he's still gross..._

We had a neighbor who was a priest and had a live-in maid, who turned out to be his wife. We always had a hunch but when he died, she came forth.

Literally....

Yep, the argentian comunist pope, who has an army, but encourage people not to own guns. The same freak who welcomes robbers in the vatican, and CLEARLY ever read the bible. But ok. You all go and praise this m***f****er
