Pope Francis leaves after celebrating Mass on the occasion of the Christ the King festivity, in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020. At the end of the mass a delegation of youths from Panama will hand over the World Youth Day cross to youths from Portugal, where the next World Youth Day will be held in 2023.

“But in March 2013, I was transferred to another diocese,” he deadpans. Francis was elected pope, and bishop of Rome, on March 13, 2013. Francis addressed the killing of Floyd, a Black man whose death at the knee of a policeman set off protests this year across the United States. He also reflected on the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church and other #MeToo abuses of power that he said are rooted in a sense of entitlement, domination and arrogance over others.

Turning to the pandemic, Francis blasted people who protested anti-virus restrictions “as if measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom!”“You’ll never find such people protesting the death of George Floyd, or joining a demonstration because there are shantytowns where children lack water or education,” he wrote.

He’s no Pope

Let Us Dream? How about Have Faith ?

Alexa, what is the credibility of the Vatican?

The Pope should worry about the greed and corruption in his own organization. Worry about the sickest of all crime, child abuse and how your top echelon covered it up. You want to jump on the cops with the false narrative. Cops aren't sodomizing little boys. Worry about your own.

We have a president who is inciting this kind of behavior and yet we allow him to continue. who’s going to stop this?

Really nice BUT

The Catholic Church and the corrupt popes are the ones that implemented wide scale racism and genocide for 2 millennia. Hypocrite church now saying they are against racism? Racism was great for business for 2 thousand years. now bad for business so they are reversing course.

Yawn. What does he say about victims of child molesting priests?

Jesus has done nothing.

What a joke. Has the Catholic Church given justice to all the victims of their perverted priests?

It should be a free book. The world of “God” should be free.

Writing books isn't what he's supposed to be doing.

Maybe this fake pope should keep his own house in order, leave those kids alone!

'the doctrine of discovery'...........

He is a fraud

My kingdom is not of this world.

Looking forward to the next POPE because PopeFrancis is not promoting traditional catholic values. RejectPopeFrancis RejectLGBT RejectBLM RejectViolentCriminals RejectBlackBloc RejectBlackLivesMatter

The Pope is a globalist traitor to the cross of Jesus Christ!

The pope is also friendly with gays and doesn't have a problem with unborn baby killing Biden. The pope's opinions don't have much weight

Well, the 'Pope' isn't FoxNews or OANN sooooo trumpers wont believe it. What good Christians.

Holly books and old literature contain discriminating texts. It was then the Normal!..is it not the time to re look at them!

disband this pageantry of hypocrisy______

thanks for this news

Does the pope shit ! If yes then why the fuck is he holy !

Amen Papa. PeoplesPope

Oh, the Pope wants to reform systemic problems that protect and even encourage officers of an institution who harm those in their care?

Pope Francis is a good man.

Stop praising this man. I don't care if he donates an organ to a dying orphan, because he's running an organization that knowingly provides pedophiles with access to children. And that is the ONLY thing we should EVER be talking about when this awful person gets brought up. 🙄

This is not a man of God.

From a guy who consider women as a subspecies!

Same Floyd who died from a meth/fentanyl overdose?

Pope francis opinions mean very little to me. He's leading the Catholic Church into ruin.

He is satan's little helper isn't he.

If we wanted a spineless and gaslighting version of the Christianity, the dying episcopals should be around for 20 more years....

Is the Pope catholic?

Pope Francis, ex Pope Benedict both get Covid-19 vaccine - VaticanBoth Pope Francis and ex Pope Benedict have received the first dose of a vaccine against coronavirus, the Vatican said on Thursday. The 84-year-old pope and the 93-year-old former pope, got their jabs as part of a Vatican vaccination program that began on Wednesday. Francis is perhaps more at risk because part of one of his lungs was removed following an illness when he was a young man in his native Argentina.
