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.

F**e news.
Satanic. Serving the devil. Hope people see this and don’t follow him to damnation.
This Pontiff stated upon election that he did not want to reign to death but rather just a few years and step down as Pope Benedict did. Well it is 4 years and he has shown he is more involved with politics than running the Catholic Church. When he does turn his attention to the Catholic Church, he makes rules that are totally against Catholic Church Teaching. He should not have been elected, the CoC were in too much of a hurry to get the election over with. The CoC should ask him to step down before he destroys the Catholic Church more than he already has. This type of man in this position is why the Nuns do not conform to their habits and dress like everyday working women, other orders dress with a skirt and blouse and a shot veil eith half their hair sticking out and other orders dress with high heels, blouses and skirts that are inappropriate and wear make up, hair dos and look like ladies of the evening which I am sure some are. Not all orders, but most have taken their orders out of context, they all knew upon entering what they had to wear and what they were going to endure, if they cannot handle that situation then leave the convent! Now priests are involved in sexual activities with children, men and women because the church is too slack with them. When I was a child, you always found priests in the rectory, or the church, or visiting the parishioners and blessing their homes, or visiting the sick. Now they wear civilian clothing when not at the church, they have a day off (from what?) definitely not hard work, they are gone for a few days off to visit family,( when I was a child, most priests did not see their families for three or four years at a time, they talked with them on the phone but never got to visit them), priests go on vacations, not just with their families, many go by themselves, in one instance, a priest I know goes on vacations not just with his family but for a few days by himself to places people go with family, relatives or friends.For example, he said he went to Miami. The question was put to me by other priests I mention this to was, ” who goes to places like Miami by themselves especially a priest?”, I had no answer and these other priests stated, “I will tell you what priests do this, the ones who are up to no good and don’t want parishioners, fellow clergy or bishop to know what their doing.” I actually agree with them because it stands to reason they are going to enjoy themselves by doing things that are not appropriate for a priest to do. The Pope needs to tighten the reigns on priests and nuns, they either give their lives completely to GOD or Leave, don’t put on false acts. The church says they cannot put to much on priests because they will leave, WELL TOO BAD, if they tighten things up for priests, and some leave, then that tells me they were not really ready to serve GOD and the priests that can handle the reigns being tighten, are the true devoted priests who take their vows seriously. The church should not be worried about priest leaving if they tighten the reigns because today, the priests are lazy in most towns and cities because they have Deacons, Women and Men as Extraordinary Ministers to do their jobs, in fact in most churches, the Deacons say the Gospel and Homily, the priest is there just to bless the body and blood of Christ, other than that he sits on the altar doing nothing. The church as gone to far in letting men and women give communion and Married Men who are Deacons was a terrible mistake, THESE are men who want the best of both worlds, to have a wife and kids and still be someone important in the church. I know some priests like this because they could do what they want to do, golf, tennis etc. Other priests do not like this because they feel they went to study to be a priest and the Deacons are taking over. In most cases of Deacons and Men and women giving communion, THESE are people who just want to showoff, not all but many, the thing I cannot stand is men and women smiling while giving communion like their giving candy out, this is a sacred time of mass and they should be more reverent and serious. THEN there is a problem with some of the men and women who give communion and the way they dress. One Sunday, a woman went up with short shorts on and a halter top with half her breasts falling out, (HOW DISRESPECTFUL CAN SOMEONE GET?) if I was the priest, I would of ask her politely to stand in the vestibule or to leave altogether. This also goes for the dress of parishioners, one Sunday a man came in with silk gym shorts and they were very short and tight and everyone could see the shape and size of his merchandise, and a tee shirt, how DISRESPECTFUL is that? These same people would never go to a function, such as the theater (Not to be mistaken for the movies) I am talking Opera’s and Ballets and Plays dressed like that so why come to God’s House and spend time with Him dressed that way? NO, this Pope needs to step down immediately and if not on his own then be asked to. The Catholic Church and it’s People were respected by other faiths, NOT ANYMORE, WE ARE A LAUGHING STOCK AND IT’S GETTING EORSE WITH THIS POPES OUTLOOK AND RULES AND LAWS HE PUTTING INTO EFFECT, HE HAS BROUGHT THE CHURCH DIEN TO GUTTER LEVEL. Most priests act like ordinary bachelor’s when off church grounds.
