No he cannot. There is no procedure.

Right.


But... some of you always want to go after the tax exemption of the Catholic Church.... Roll Eyes

Here's what he said:

quote:
'The President of the United States presents himself as pro-life and if he is a good pro-lifer, he understands that family is the cradle of life and its unity must be protected," Pope Francis said.

Is that blatantly political?
Like campaigning for a particular candidate?

sigfreund is right:

quote:
The problem is of course that it’s all in the eye of the beholder. I might argue that a church that enjoys tax exemptions should not offer an opinion or position on any government action such as its promoting birth control, providing abortions, etc. Just as strong an argument can be made, however, that any position regarding government activity can be justified on religious moral grounds: “Vote for Clinton because Trump is an agent of evil,” or “Restrictions on immigration are unchristian.”


quote:
Based on the posts here, I gather that even a large percentage of Catholics don’t pay any attention to him any more, so why should anyone else?


That's right. Just ignore him. I do.
He's a 'globalist'. He's also an idiot.



"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."

The Pope has less relevance to me than a stray dog in Durham. I'm guessing most Catholics roll their eyes and ignore him.

They pretty well did that to the last pope, so basically not the same path but they got rid of the last one. I liked the last one.

Technically, if the Pope is no longer sui compos, he could be removed.

So, if he is sui compos, then he could be turned non sui compos.

Fwiw, compos is a Latin word loosely translated into English as "compost". Little-known fact. True story.

This pope is what you get when you play affirmative action.

He was picked to be the first Hispanic pope. Same with Hillary she was supposed to be the first female POTUS. And then there was..

This is what you get when qualification and ability are irrelevant and a political statement is the priority.

Confused How do you know that?
And wasn’t there more than one Hispanic cardinal to choose from—and possibly even at least one who wasn’t a blatant socialist?

Fellow Catholics, take the time to watch this video of Fr. Larry Richards. In the video he addresses dislike for Pope Francis, and many other issues. Harden not your hearts.

He aint so bad, at least he hasnt exhumed the body of his dead predecessor and put it on trial like Pope Stephen VII did.

Google "cadaver synod". Not a high point of infalibility.

A pope might not be impeachable, but that doesn't mean they can't be removed some other way. Refer to John XII

quote:
John XII died on 14 May 964. According to Liudprand of Cremona, John died whilst enjoying an adulterous sexual encounter outside Rome, either as the result of apoplexy, or at the hands of an outraged husband.

There actually was a Pope Benedict removed from office under similar circumstances (strangled). However, I don't think Benedict was boinking some dude's wife at the time like John XII. It was a pure political killing. Pope Benedict VI

I don't believe that Pope Benedict was a commie.

Francis surely is.

I have been a Catholic my entire life, and I may need to recite a few extra Hail Mary prayers for saying it, but regarding Pope Francis...

Fuck him today. Fuck him tomorrow. Fuck him forever.

Pope Francis: ‘Those Who Build Walls Will Become Prisoners’
"It must be resolved differently, humanely, not with razor wire"

Once again, Pope Francis has spoken out against border security via wall-building, warning that countries that do not welcome migrants will become "prisoners."

"Builders of walls, be they made of razor wire or bricks, will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build," the pope told reporters aboard the papal plane, according to CNN. "This is history."

Pope Francis admitted to weeping after a Spanish journalist showed a piece of concertina wire from Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, which borders Morocco.

"I realize that with this problem (of migration), a government has a hot potato in its hands, but it must be resolved differently, humanely, not with razor wire," he added.

According to CNBC, the pope's statements echoed those he made to Moroccan leaders on Sunday, when he said that only social justice will correct the world's economic imbalances. "With fear, we will not move forward; with walls, we will remain closed within these walls," he said.

This marks the second time this year that Pope Francis has emphatically denounced walls for use of border security — a running theme throughout his pontificate. When returning from a trip to Panama in January, he said that fear of migrants is making people crazy.

"It is the fear that makes us crazy," Pope Francis said after reportedly calling a border wall a "folly."

Yup. Typical South American Marxist clergy. He’s disappointed no one. Just doing what’s expected of him.
