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.

He’s not God.
I can’t wait until God takes this antichrist
For many Christians , Catholicism is unfathomable . READ THE BOOK !
He can’t do that
This is NOT MY POPE!
This is NOT MY CHURCH!
I Worship God and the Son of God Jesus Christ in the privacy of my home.
No need for this Church-Business
following New World Order.
Priest can’t absolve sin anymore them I can. Only Jesus can no mortal man.
Anytime they say they can forgive sins then they lie as God is they only one that can forgive sin
So the pope forgives you but what good is that? You didn’t go high enough when you asked forgiveness.
Diane Shearer you are right. Peter was given the key to the kingdom of God. It is a spiritual reference that Peter preached the very first gospel sermon on the day of Pentecost thus opening the door to the kingdom of heaven to everyone who would believe and obey.
What ever most Christian denominations derived from Catholism.
