I am starting to think so...or it is even worse, he is complicit and connected to such a network... His actions seem to go only either one of these ways..
Pray for the Pope..

If he only knew how homosexual operate and what they do. I tend to think that the Pope is higly naive because of his ease of use in the term Gay. Homosexuals use this term as a kind of calling card to other active members... They don't go a around saying that they are Homosexual or a transvestite or a pederats... They use slang that indicates a kind of status... It is not completely intentional, and consicous to use of such terms but they are used in languages to indicate the position of person in regards of how they regard themselves.... Using a loaded term like Gay, to describe someones state of being usually incated some kind of acitivity that makes a person that way.... Using a different term that indicates something that was but is not now should be used in the speaking about the situation... For example the Pope should have been more careful and maybe have said for a Priest who was formery Homosexual, or used to be, Gay. Not just saying for someone who is... Gay.
The Pope could really use a lesson or two in learning how to speak carefully... Or maybe this might be a good suggestion...

I just can't get over how much explanatioin by some many people, other than the Pope himself always have to try and act as Apologists for the Pope to make up for all of the confusion has been getting out there... I just think that all of those Apologist that I listen to should just be Apologists for Christ and stick to the Tradtional Teachings of the Church and maybe just skip the Pope a bit if he is always going be this ambigious, awkward and downright .....well...dumb. I really hate to say that but everytime I hear that said something contradicting everything that the Church as been teaching for millenia he just sound well....dumb.. We all need to pray for Pope Francis.

Is this an onion article? I am an idiot when comes to humor sometimes... Because I think this one is almost as funny as when it was reported that Pope has such a great love for Traditional Chinese medicine.... Do you know that animal testicals are a very common ingrediant in Traditional Chinese medicine... It's very funny to see Kanagroo testicals advertised as a Traditional Chinese home medicine on the Taiwanese homeshopping network...

Good article, but I do know that the savages of oceanan have been greatly converted and many many of them are Catholic. Guam is probably one of the most Catholic islands you'll ever go to if you have a chance, and of course let's not for get the Phillippeans...

There are also Chinese who make the sign of the cross and they are growing, and the Chinese by their cultural practices love traditional things.. Many do not and love to cling to the traditional pagan practices but there are a great deal of Christians in China who are moving away from these things. It is just such a great shame that the Church doesn't try as hard as the Protestants do to make believers out of them..
I like the article but some of the things said are inconsiderate...

It is horrible that one group of murdering muslims goes and kills another group of murdering muslims in a horrible way, and I will pray and fast for them, but what the heck in going on with the Gloria.tv and the garabage that the smarmy and insincere people a Catholic Answers is dolling out on Traditionalist. The church is kicking itself in the teeth and while I watch from a great distance in a non-hague treaty country... Traditionalist need to set up safe harbor in safe places....
