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.

No man on earth has the authority to absolve sin. Only the our Heavenly Father.has that authority. His son, Jesus Christ paid the debt. No man.
A new pope will not change what the church believes they all believe the priest can’t forgive sins. The people have been misled. This pope says it is not important to have a personal relationship with Christ, this is sacrilege, he says the Koran is equal to the Bible.
Wrong wrong wrong! You are not God! And when you do this you’re doing Satan’s work! You’re putting yourself in the position of a God. And there’s only one God! And he is the only one that can judge and forgive!
Sorry..only one has that power. I guess this pope thinks he is God….whn
No priest, or even the Pope, can forgive any sin. Only Jesus can do that. He’s the One who paid for our sin, and He alone.
only God has that power. what a fraud that “pope” is
This guy is no pope!
Only God can absolve sin
God forgives all sins if we are truly sorry.
NEWSFLASH…
ONLY THE LORD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF CAN ABSOLVE SIN!
JESUS CHRIST DOES THE WILL OF’HIS FATHER’, AND TAKES THAT ROLL!
‘YOU, EVIL IMPOSTER’ HAVE NO TRUE AUTHORITY TO ABSOLVE ‘ANYONE’s’ SIN! Merely lead them to Confession & Baptism so that JESUS CHRIST MAY ABSOLVE THEIR SIN!
