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.

Exactly why I left the Catholic Church, child mollesting no charges, and now this new pope. I left long ago I hated leaving this is the religion of my father and grand father and his father. Sad that all of the past being erased
Who died and made you God to tell me I’m not a Christian? I am Catholic- do not accept the teachings of this Pope. I live a good, clean life and help others when I can. I may not be able to quote the bible like some protestants, but most of them don’t live the life they read about in the bible………MPA
False.
Like sodomizing children?
NO ONE but JESUS CHRIST can forgive your sins. Come on, this defies everything I was taught as a Catholic growing up. Now we are going to change the Bible. Hope God forgives you. Sad and disturbing on so many levels.
This man will be brought down low! He is just a man that thinks he is a god. God is the miracle worker here not this guy!
Only God can forgive sin. This man is misleading so many people! !
He is not a pope! He is a leftist pile of s**t
Ughhhhh
What a joke
