Pope Francis is upending catholic tradition once again, and many of his followers aren’t happy.
Pope Francis was selected to lead the Catholic church in 2013, after several years of scandal-prone leadership from his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI. But it wasn’t long until Francis began stirring controversy himself.
Unlike his predecessor — who was often characterized as “too conservative” — Francis immediately began liberalizing the Catholic faith. He suggested that his followers apologize to gay people and validated the beliefs of competing religions, claiming that all religions worship the same god. Then, in perhaps the most bizarre development of last year, the pontiff began an unprompted feud with Donald Trump over immigration policy.
So it should come as no surprise that Pope Francis is once again upsetting many of his diehard followers with an announcement that seems to go against fundamental Catholic values.

Wasting your time….there is only One that has that privilege.
Only God can forgive a sin,big or little. NO PRIEST, BISHOP, CARDINAL OR POPE can forgive a sin. The Catholic Church should no better. The priest hears the confession, but only God can forgive. I’m really sick of this misinterpretation of what confession really is. NO priest has the power of God.
Only God can forgive them.
My KING JAMES BIBLE (this is what the pope uses)….What Grave sin? Catholics are Old Testament teachings. Catholics have ZERO knowledge of the world since 185 a.d. DUH
