| bigger government = smaller citizen  |
Seems odd that the church would be attempting to usher in the very government that has systematically tried to stamp out... the church. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

I was raised, and have always considered myself to be Catholic. But perhaps it is time for a change. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

Seems to me the Catholic church is unique in that it has a single spokesperson who, like it or not, is the voice of the entire church. Non Catholics just assume that he is supported by his flock, so to speak. I know better because I just read the three pages of this thread and other similar threads. But what about the masses? .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

Popes come and go, and they can be assholes. Read some bits about the Renaissance. Leave if you disagree with the theology and doctrine, for that is the right thing to do. But if your brain is saying that to be Catholic is the right thing, and you disagree with the pope? Then you are in good company. Many saints outright hated the Pope of their day, it’s totally normal. He’s just a man like all of us. Many people don’t understand this, hell even most Catholics. It’s like the President, respect the office but not the man if necessary. There’s not a single thing Francis has said or done that I need to follow, as he hasn’t spoken on behalf of the church (again, that’s the infallible part which is super super rare. Think once a lifetime, for something beyond obvious). | |||

Not my church, not my pope, but he sounds like a commie... "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

I'm a Roman Roman Catholic. That said, this chooch isn't my Pope! Outright commie. He whacked a guy when he was a bouncer in South America during his youth. Now he's a skell. He gotta go! | |||

I left the church long ago. Back when they promoted a guy and sent him to Italy so that he would not get arrested for molesting some kids.  | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Lighten up, francis. Yeah, TRY and have your one world government subordinate the US and our freedoms. Ask the British how that worked out for them. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

Isn't this the same pontiff who denied that Hell is a "real" place, but only a state of separation from God? | |||

My thoughts as well, reloader-1. Thanks for that. I didn't like Obama, but I didn't quit being an American. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||
