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.

I am one of the unhappy ones. Very unhappy
Only God can forgive sin, and it is done through Jesus Christ.
Can he be impeached
NO ONE can forgive sins but Jesus Christ.
I’m Catholic. .I read bible on a weekly basis…say my prayers..talk to God one in one….Don’t brlieve your better then the next cause you go-to church on Sundays and confess sins to priests who have skeletons in their closets. ..no..I thank the Good Lord for all his blessings he’s given me and ask for forgiveness for things I know displease him…
After hearing a lot of things this pope has said, and listened to some of the ideas that he has come up with I left the Catholic Church. I think this man has an evil agenda and I don’t and never will trust him.
Your NARROWMINDED OPINION TELLS A LOT ABOUT YOUR LACK OF CHRISTIANITY. Not all of us subscribe to the nonsense the pope has publicized.
Crazy DUDE!
Well expelled him.
POPE HAS NO POWER TO FORGIVE SIN BECAUSE HE IS ALSO A SINNER DOOMED TO HELL. ONLY GOD CAN FORGIVE SIN BECAUSE HE IS SINLESS AND HE IS GOD, OUR CREATOR AND SAVIOUR
