Along with the NBA and Hollywood, count Pope Francis as another of the woke institutions that will gladly bash the free world, but cowers before Communist China.
Here’s Pope Francis on Trump.
“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges, is not Christian,” the pontiff said on Feb. 18 aboard the papal plane.
“This is not the Gospel. As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote,” Francis said. “I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and I will give him the benefit of the doubt.”
Does Pope Francis have any thoughts on Communist China putting a 90-year-old cardinal on trial?
A 90-year-old Roman Catholic cardinal, who was arrested earlier this year by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for allegedly colluding with foreign forces by failing to register his pro-democracy charity fund with the government, begins his formal trial Monday in Hong Kong.
And the response from Pope Francis and the Vatican?
“The Holy See has learned with concern the news of Cardinal Zen’s arrest and is following the development of the situation with extreme attention” was the Vatican’s only official comment.
The Vatican architect of the still-secret deal with Beijing, Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, professed his “closeness” to his fellow cardinal—before revealing his true priorities. “The most concrete hope,” he said, “is that initiatives such as this one will not complicate the already complex and not simple path of dialogue.”
Just two years ago Cardinal Zen, who grew up in Shanghai, flew to Rome in a desperate attempt to get the Holy Father to reconsider his China deal. But a pope who always seems to have time for private audiences with celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio refused to meet a cardinal with long firsthand experience of Chinese communism. Cardinal Gerhard Muller noted that no senior Vatican official had offered an expression of solidarity or a prayer initiative for Cardinal Zen at last month’s gathering of cardinals in Rome.
On a return flight from Kazakhstan Thursday, the pope suggested this is no accident. When a reporter asked about Cardinal Zen, the pope offered not a word of support, noting only that the cardinal “says what he feels” despite knowing there are “limitations.” The pope declined to even say China was undemocratic.
I was a convert to Catholicism at age 17–70 years ago. I have been a good Catholic all that time–raising my five children in the faith and following all the Church laws and morals. But I am having a real problem keeping my faith while Pope Francis is degrading those laws and morals. If one man can make those changes just because he was elected Pope, and seemingly converting many of the clergy at the same time, how weak does that make the Church? For that matter, many Protestant churches are also failing to counsel their members in true morality. Just because our social lives are becoming “Woke,” how can that charge morality? Plus, ever since he became Pope, Francis has failed to protect Christians from their persecutors in war-torn countries. He is too weak to be Pope. He will let the Church be destroyed by its enemies because he is afraid of them–or maybe even agrees with them.
What is “true” morality? In more precise words what is “objective” morality and what is the standard of objective morality? How does one define the moral and prove that it is actually moral?
Is objective morality even possible to man? And is it superior or inferior to a non-objective morality?
After all, for the Muslim Jihadist killing infidels is moral. Can he prove it objectively? No, he simply takes it on faith that he is acting morally.
Perhaps, the pope believes he truly is moral just as the jihadist does! Truth to them is their truth! Where do you hear that these days? It has become the lazy person’s way of thinking, which is really “not thinking’! It is a trip back to the Dark Ages!
But you believe in Rand’s objectivism with the same fervour that religious people apply to their beliefs.
Religious people will, mostly, acknowledge the flaws in their beliefs, that is why they are called beliefs.
You grab any opportunity to attack any and all religions and refuse to accept that there are clearly moral values embedded in them.
I keep asking who decides what is rational and reason based, you say nobody but the selfish individual and we can all be educated to be rational.
Dennis Prager writes the Rational Bible series, you call him a fraud, you won’t accept that he actually believes his words. But what does he gain from them other than selfish good feelings about himself?
The inevitable consequence of objectivism is government controlled rational arguments, just like socialism and communism. And anyone who disagrees with rationalism will be exterminated just like you seem to want to exterminate christianity.

I can’t finish reading his comments, because I get a headache from just the first few sentences, and their fallacies.
I am not here to defend the pope. I have trouble understanding or relating to him. On the other hand, regarding the abandoning of fellow christians in China, is that his job to conduct diplomacy & smooth talk noisy people who are not “with the program?” Did Peter appeal to Ceasar on behalf of Paul in Rome? Perhaps we are seeing some of the same dynamic at work. They say the blood of martyrs is the seed of saints. We should take solace in the fact we server the “one true king and Savior” who is taking care of our our needs. In the meantime,those of of us with compassion for the Christian community in China should pray and support our brotheren.
Poop Francis… of the satanic catholic fake church…
Says Trump isn’t a Christian!?!?
How does the Poop know that? Does he have a satanic crystal ball? <<< Even that wouldn't work…
How so?
The Holy Bible is clear… ONLY God knows the heart of man!
That is… the One True God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob… the Father of our Lord & Savior, Christ Jesus…
Poop Francis is a FRAUD! And doesn't represent Christianity. <<< Period.
Isn’t he one of those “Liberation Theology” types?
Yes, he is amongst other things.
Francis is a very stupid man and there’s a reason someone as stupid as Francis is elevated to a position of power by people somewhat less stupid in the church hierarchy.
The church hierarchy is to the different to the democratic process in which the populace elects stupid politicians because they are flattered by the media into doing so.
The Council of Cardinals obviously chose him to promote illegal immigration in general, and of Catholics from Latin America to the USA and Canada in particular. I guess the dumb-shits think they’re safe from the moslems in Vatican City.
Thanks Una!
Big time. As yo probably know, “liberation theology” originated with the KGB. I notice you put the phrase in quotation marks too.
Until Pope Commie builds some bridges into the Vatican, he needs to DTFU about Trump. Besides, any Pope who allows some of his boys to give Communion to abortionist scum like Baby Killer Biden and Planned Parenthood Pelosi isn’t a Christian, especially not a Catholic one. Real Christians also believe in private property, rule of law and nations.
He’s a fraud.
Thanks Jeff!
Those commies sure stick together.
Pope Francis is a PC, ‘yes’ man, ‘chicken.’
I was a Catholic all of my life until I found Jesus and it changed my life forever. What bothers me is there are so many wonderful people who loves the Lord but this Pope is the worst we have ever had!!! He cares nothing about our country, and the world. He would be very happy if all of the world was taken over by Russia or China!!! How he could thing Biden is great when he is a person that loves to kill babies!!! When we get ready to go home God will make everyone pay for what they did!!!
“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s”
This Pope dude is very silent about all the Churches being burned down with the Christians inside them all over Africa by muslim jihadi nutters he is silent when muslims in Europe attack and set fire to Churches in Germany,France,UK, he is busy washing and kissed the feet of ILLEGAL muslims entering Europe while he himself lives behind a massive WALL built to keep the islamic Warriors OUT and yet wants more muslims to come into your neighborhood, just not his.
”More and more people are straying from the Church and returning to God”…. Lenny Bruce.
He may well be the anti Christ predicated to arrive around now as he sure as hell acts like it.
Yeah, how stupid does one have to be, to wash and kiss their feet?
Revelations 18 indicates that the Vatican may be nuked. The pope allegedly told all Vatican-linked organizations to move their money to the Vatican bank by September 30, 2022. That certainly makes the the Vatican a valuable target. Whoever advised the pope to move all funds to the Vatican bank probably did so under the guise of an economic collapse. The fact that the pope then acted on that advise to consolidate the wealth of the Vatican is foolish to say the least. If the Vatican is nuked, does the money and the records in the Vatican bank go up in smoke?
“7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”
The pope is a Commie Globalist. He is not a Christian, just a modern Roman Caesar who thinks he speaks for the gods.
This guy Gordo Bergoglio is a colon compromised satanist. The WEF has played its cards well in welcoming this buffoon into its entrails, whom most Catholics loathe and despise.
