SonoftheChurch-
I feel sorry for you. I'm Japanese-American, but I've studied China under Mao, and the way you blindly stand up for Bergoglio, and call him such honorable names reminds me of the Red Guards, who were brainwashed in their delusional adulation of Chairman Mao, no matter what evil he said, and they committed and allowed for unspeakable evils in his name, or by his direction. I'm not comparing Francis to Mao per se, I'm just saying that the way you fawn over him is exactly how the Red Guards acted, and the present day disciples of Kim Jung Un and his late father in North Korea.
Fortunately in the Church today, largely due to the example of Bergoglio, who has departed so far from traditional Catholicism and Catholic belief in word and deed, that there are far less people (especially young people), willing to hang on his every word and say "Yes Holy Father, No Holy Father, whatever you say is right IS right, Holy Father". That type of mindset unfortunately was strong under the reign of JPII, who though a legitimate Pope who for the most part upheld traditional Catholic teaching, it dissipated under Benedict XVI not because Catholics disliked him, or hated what he stood for, but because he did not have the charismatic aura that JPII exuded, even in his very last days. Many claimed that it was electric to be in the presence of JPII and hear him speak, while on the other hand, some said that to listen to Benedict XVI was like sitting in a lecture by a college professor. Both however, upheld and maintained traditional Catholic doctrine and dogma.
Francis does not, and has not. He has openly supported homosexuals, and stated that civil unions (i.e. marriages) are permissable. Something JPII and Benedict never would have said. Francis' "who am I to judge" shtich on a plane before the media was taken by millions as a repudiation of traditional Catholic theology....and neither he or the Vatican corrected them. Moreover, there are many active homosexuals --bishops and priests--in the Vatican, including bishops, appointed by Francis who knows well what they are, and what they do after hours.
Read about the North American College, and the network of gays infesting the place, from the top administrators and faculty, to squads of seminarians....most in place since Bergoglio became pope. JUst this year, the rector, vice-rector, and several priest-faculty resigned/were fired for being active homosexuals and promoting such filth in the NAC (North American College). The enrollemnt there since Bergoglio became pope has gone from 250 during Benedict XVI (when they were even building a new wing to house the increase), to 123 today, due to students leaving because they strongly disapprove of the direction on Francis, or because they left because of the corruption and gay subculture of the NAC and it's administration.
I could go on and on as to the complete break from Catholic tradition, disipline, and teachings (doctrine and dogma) under Francis and his associates/appointments. But I won't waste my time. One picture, however, covers it all. Look it up....it's there on YouTube. It was the day a year or so ago when the statue of the "pachamamma" was processed into St. Peter's itself, and blessed and prayed over by Francis and a group of bishops and laity participating in the Synod on Latin America. That kind of thing and what has been done to the Tidentine LAtin Mass by Francis and associates, is why more and more faithful Catholics disapprove/dislike/hate Pope Francis, his people and his agenda. He is turning the Church into something other than Catholic, and therefore to millions, including me, has forfeited the right to be called "Holy Father", or "Supreme Pontiff" or Vicar of Christ", both titles which he himself has repudiated.
I do suggest that you read the reports, of all the times Francis and his people are departing from the Catholic Faith and its traditions...degrading it, insulting it, repudiating it. For all Francis is doing to actually destroy the Catholic Faith, you sound like some sort of fanatic still praising him, and addressing him with those honorific titles. Despite all his crimes, Just like the Red Guards did for Chairman Mao.
