Political Crossfire Forums

Huh? Libs are totally on his dick.

so you think all the things he's saying aren't shifts away from the more conservative elements of the clergy? and even better, that he's saying it to troll people?

lol

Why not?

Based on the quotes in the OP, I'd assume the Pope was more reaffirming that any positions he held were reflective of his views on the nature of Catholicism and faith rather than being in deference to political ideas. That doesn't mean that they're any less reflective of any particular political persuasion, just that their genesis is separate.

As a fully liberal-artsy, white, bleeding-heart, liberal, and feministy dude I still do disagree with him on a great many things, but I don't think he's exactly denouncing liberalism in any way.

Remember the guy who said "I did not come to abolish the laws or the prophets. I came to fulfill them." But then he started a new religion.

How do you know Francis isn't starting something new.

I'm so stoked, the CEO from the Catholic corporation is here.
