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 has gone off the rails ! This is wrong.
Only God can absolve us of our sins
So now he thinks he’s God, he has no authority to forgive any ones sins
The Pope and his minnions are going straight to hell. Catholics better wake up and leave this church
No one has the power to absolve sins but God. That’s why cathloics are seriously messed up. You don’t confess to a preist, you confess to God. There only one mediator between man and God, Jesus.
Nope. Sorry the Pope is human. And he doesn’t have the power to do this.
I believe that to be the agenda! As a Catholic that loves my faith I find it so so sad!!!
Only God forgives sin. Priests always had permission to absolve sinners when they confessed and repented.
The Pope is a communist bent on destroying the Catholic religion as dictated by his handlers, the members of the New World Order!
Right on
