I am a practising Catholic and I'm not the greatest fan of Pope Francis. One of his whacko notions of "justice" is to forcibly take money from those who have it and give it to those who don't - this is nothing but THEFT, socialist-style. He is no doubt well-meaning, but like most Marxists, he's an idealistic dreamer who worships an unattainable fantasy called equality. Worse still, he calls this unworkable, infantile nonsense, "Christianity", and wants all other Catholics to join him in his kindergarten sand-pit of dreams.
Deluded Lefties like Francis think nothing of oppressing certain classes of people in the name of an idiotic egalitarian utopia. The twentieth century is full of economic disasters created by socialists, but incorrigible dreamers like Francis still haven't got the message.

To paraphrase:
We know God rails against contraception, hates condoms and we would forbid their use everywhere for all time. The world's distortion of this holy teaching by pointing to the slaughter of millions from AIDS as a direct consequence of this holy teaching is of no meaningful concern to us.
What nonsense. The AIDS epidemic would have occurred even if the Church approved of condoms.
The trail of blood and destruction left by AIDS can be traced back to it's source - male homosexuals. The disease was first called GRIDS, remember.
--------------------------------
It's a masterpiece of irony that the Church offiically condemns all forms of contraception, yet it unofficially supports the greatest contraceptive ever invented - feminism. Mainstream Catholicism's love of something as demonic and anti-life as feminsim is a measure of just how corrupt the Church has become. The good news for the Church is, "the gates of hell will not prevail against it". In other words, the current putirid mess won't last forever; it will be cleaned up eventually.

The Protestant Reformers all concluded that the papacy is the seat of the Antichrist.
I am a practising Catholic and I don't doubt that a schismatic version of the Catholic Church could well become the seat of Antichrist. A Loony Leftie like Pope Francis would be a good candidate to head such a false "Church".
And this Pope is a Jesuit, a member of a diabolical order founded by Ignatius Loyola which engineered assassinations all over Europe in their zeal to overthrow the Protestant Reformation. They also assassinated at least one Pope who thought their work diabolical.
The Jesuits are the most corrupt order in today's Catholic Church. They started out well, but now 99.9% of Jesuits are servants of the devil, plain amd simple.
Yes, Francis is a Jesuit - God help us!

Re: I was sort of on the Catholic and Christian diversity thing.
LamarkNewAge writes:
I see a quite big difference between the Jewish Christian folk of the first several centuries and the Roman Catholic Church.
Not surprising really. The first Church was Jewish and was influenced by ancient and deeply ingrained Jewish laws, some of which these early Christian Jews would have found difficult to abandon.
Furthermore, consider the following verses:
"I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now ...
...When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come" - John 16:12-13.
"And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" - Matthew 16:18-19.
These passages suggest a progressive revelation, so it should come as no surprise that the modern Catholic Church has added much to what the nascent Church taught and practised. (Is this theological evolution evidence that evolution is fact and that a racoon turned into a whale? I don't think so.)

what, specifically, do you have against equality, as it's supposed to mean? I would have thought that Christians would be behind a valid message of equality.
Equality can be used for good or for evil. Communism, feminism and gay rights are examples of the latter.
When the devil comes along, speaking in the name of equality, who can oppose him? Ever heard of a wolf in sheep's clothing?

The Antichrist, if such a thing existed, would undoubtedly be a conservative Christian and conservative Christians would flock to follow him.
I doubt it. Imo, the Antichrist will support homosexuality, feminism, abortion, evolution, anthropological climate-change and be anti-semitic.

You are opposed to,equal rights between men an women?
How naive you are; and how easily the masses are deceived. Has history produced a better example of a sheep in wolf's clothing than feminism? I doubt it. Feminism is a replay of what happened to Eve in the Garden - except on a global scale. It's demonic, anti-life poison.
The way things are going, Japan could be the first civilisation that will collapse as a direct result of feminism. Others are bound to follow.
You oppose workers having equal rights because it leads to communism.
Huh? ... nice straw man you've introduced here.

Ok, you're officially classified as a whole nut.
I've been called worse. Even some "traditional" Catholics don't understand what I'm talking about.
Some people are mushrooms - they're kept in the dark and just fed manure.
If a cattle breeder, for example, discovers that more of his herd are dying than being born, he would consider this a recipe for disaster - a crisis, in fact ... because extinction is the assured result.
Still in all, any civilisation that is too stupid to even reproduce in sufficient numbers doesn't deserve to survive. Japan is not alone in having moribund birth rates.
