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.
See more on the “grave sin” the Pope says women can be forgiven for on the next page:
God forgives all sin. It’s not up to the pope or any man to decide what sins get forgiven and which ones don’t
He’s a purebred idiot and a devil in disguise…..
Not his call! He can’t absolve anyone of any sin because he is not GOD!
I am not Catholic but feel the need to comment. Inelieve any sin except the unpardonable sin can be forgiven, but the person must have sincere regret and turn from the sin(s) and live a changed lifestyle out of love and obedience to Christ. I truly don’t believe any human can absolve them. Only God through Christ. Others can lead, teach, encourage and be there for them.
It’s only what God does that counts
f**e pope , paedophile advocate,filthy demon
Well he certainly is not going for Sainthood !!!
How IGNORANT can ty his MAN possibly be?? WOW!!!
Catholics were the original Christians you idiots. St. Peter built the original church where St Peter’s Basilica in Rome is now. Where do you think your religion came from? Most protestant religions were created by men who decided the Catholic religion didn’t conform with their beliefs…i.e. Martin Luther, King Henry VIII, Calvin, etc. When you don’t like something, create your own. You people who don’t believe Catholics aren’t Christians better do some research before opening your illiterate mouths!
Who do you think set up the early churches Greek Paul, Peter Rome martyred in Rome, James to Egypt.
