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.

The only one who has the power to do that is Jesus Christ. It is through Him our sins are forgiven.
This pope seems to think he is God! I am truly frightened for the people that believe anything he says.
You can forgive those who sinned against YOU …and God forgives them also…but no 3rd person like an priest can forgive the sins of others who sinned against others
Yes, he is.
If he is handing out overall forgiveness he is going to have quite the line, but remember sins are forgiven by Christ in the end and to be forgiven we must be truly sorry and intend to change and accept Jesus as your Savior.
This idiot doesn’t even know he has no power only the power people let him hold all the power belongs to God not him or his priests
This Pope is the worst ever!
In my Bible t says only Christ Jesus can forgive sins of any nature regardless
Now, how many non-pedophile Priests, will have the COURAGE and CONVICTION to FINALLY “stand up” for the Catholic Church and IGNORE this false pope???
Nope.
