Pope Francis tells new parents it's perfectly normal to fight but just not in front of their children because of the 'anguish' it causes.

LOL. Oh geez. Read a book. Namely the Bible.

Sometimes the kids are part of the problem...

What the hell does he know about. He needs take care of his pedophile problem instead of sticking his nose into things he knows zip about. Unless he has father a few children, got wonder.

Well I’m going to hell.

also: 'Sorry not sorry about the rape of 50,000 children by our priests.'

And sexually molesting them is any better for the

That’s pretty sound advice.

He should probably worry about the whole child sexual assault thing first. Just saying.

Every body is as an individual has its own version of opinions !

Yes, sure! And when either one kills the other, what level of anguish will the children experienced then?

Pope Francis is becoming as fun to watch as President Trump. The keen sense of a child knows what’s going on whether they see the fighting or not. The “anguish” of a child comes from fear that the fighting is the child’s fault.

True all humans fight and you should not scare your children. Yet as parents you must equip your kids to deal with conflicts. Teach your kids how to fight for the resolution of an issue or agreement on the cost of actions.

Why people still buy into this is remarkable

You gotta love it,a kid toucher telling you how to live

It's not ok to fight...it's called domestic abuse.

Government shutdown loan by pay Navy Federal Credit Union Judge will be named retired veteran strip of Tricare Delta Dental and Utilities corrupt Kingsville TX.

First sensible thing I heard him say as long as the fighting is not too often and they make up before the day is over !!

And the anguish cworldreport CatholicNewsSvc Catholic priests cause to children from RAPING them? Yeah the pope lost all respect. This Babylonian religion has nothing to do with Jesus Christ.

What about sexually abusing children?...should priests stop doing that? Does it cause anguish or no? callatepapa

One would think that watching your parents resolve an argument would actually help kids. It would let them know that it's normal to have conflict in a relationship and that it can be resolved shows that compromise is very important in relationships.

As a former child, I agree.

Well, duh.

Do disagree in front of munchkins. Teach healthy resolution and even impass, just don't unnerve tykes.

Actually I don’t need the Pope or anyone else to tell me that. Common sense comes to mind.

how about pope to pray sane-on explain, the fight-of family.

Kind words turn away wrath

Pope Obvious IX

Zzzzz

Wish my dead alcoholic dad got the memo

I won’t be rushing to him for tips about kids.

I think this is sound advice.

'It's okay for priest to sexually assault your kids, but don't you argue in front of them!!!' - The Pope.

Childless people giving parenting advice!

As a leader of the church, the Pope statement should have condemned fighting and agree that differences due occur in a relationship but should never play out in front of the children.

How about don’t fight at all🤔

Because the leaders of the male dominated church understand marriage so well and honour women as equal to man in every way. NOT!

Out of touch buffoon

Maybe the pope should get his own house in order before telling parents how to raise their kids. Priestly Pedophilia seems much worse than parental disagreement.

Really, maybe we should worry more abt Priests molesting and raping children because of the anguish it causes...and making them accountable

It’s not okay to physically fight or use abusive language. Let’s make sure to provide feedback as to what is appropriate when having a disagreement with your partner.

I disagree. My dad refused to fight in front of us and I had no idea that they were close to divorce when dad died. I thought marriage was perfect. TV creates a picture perfect ideal, kids need to understand that you can disagree and fight and still have a healthy marriage.

Actually you should argue in front of your kids, but it’s how you do it. We as parents are teachers. We show our kids how to deal with conflict.

Pope Francis needs to be aware of the “anguish” priests, bishops amd,cardinals - such as McCarrick has - and is causing children.

So says the guy who was never married and let’s his priests rape. FO.

Fight? Never. Argue? Yes.

What does the Pope know about parenting? Seriously over people giving advice who have zero knowledge or experience about the topic.

Well, St. Paul is always stressing peace and reconciliation and humble submission, turning from anger and harsh words as being sinful. Nowhere will you find him saying 'fighting is okay'.

I would listen to what Pope Francis says about climate change. He is a climate scientist. However, he isn't a parent, nor does the Catholic Church have a good track record of taking care of boys in their care. 🙄

I should think it better to have respectful disagreements in front of your kids so they learn how to resolve differences. If the parents are truly fighting, then yes get away from the kids and try to grow up and be the adults the child needs.

The pope on relationships he has no experience with, one of the reasons I’m no longer Catholic,

Anyone with common sense should know you do not drag children into your adult arguments. People lack it & that is why many kids are so messed up today. As for the Pope, all of you people need to stop blaming him for the priests who have committed sexual sins against others.

You realize the 'church' banks on guilt, right?

coming from the common sense committee........how about thou shall not rape little boys....and fight it for decades within the organization until they get caught.

That’s right, shelter your kids from conflict and conflict resolution so they can also learn to not express their emotions in front of others.

So to be clear..parents fighting bad..Priests raping and molesting good?

Nothing better then getting marriage advice from someone who isn’t allowed to get married.

I wouldn't take parenting tips from an organization which has sexually abused children & continually gotten away with & hidden it for the better part of a millennium 🙄 SundayMorning

🤦‍♀️

All the ones gratuitously snarking can’t get past their hatred of the messenger to the message. And it is a good one to spare children emotional trauma. This is the place we are, these days, where expressing snarky hatred is deemed high end behavior.

And then they fall apart, when they realize the world and life is not perfect, their parents get a divorce, or their own relationships are riddled with obstacles, maybe even failure.

Yeah OK 🤣🤣🤣

It’s common sense and many of the readers hear appear to lack it.

What can a senior bachelor tell anybody about marriage and child care! Marry first

Did he also tell them to keep their children away from priests?

Good luck with that, parents.

Research has shown that children who are around fighting parents often turn out as abusive and aggressive adults.

Child abuse and sexual trauma is also 'anguishing'

I think he needs to address the child pedophile issue of the Catholic Church before telling parents how to parent

He cannot advise any parent. He has never been a parent, please. And if he had children in his best interest, he would do the right thing by them. Stop letting these priests molest them.

How would he know this?

God forbid you show your children that parents can argue, disagree, and compromise.... Why not teach them how to build a Strong marriage?

Can you believe parents still listen to the church

Parenting tips from an organization that systematically covered up child rape for decades...

So, I guess it's best for someone else to teach children how to resolve conflicts in the home? Ever heard of the saying: 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'? Yeah, man...teach kids how to solve problems by being another good example for them. rocketscience101

Unbelievable that anyone listens to that pedophile church.

The celibate, man in the white dress wants to give parenting advise I don't think so..

People here are completely missing the point just because a guy in a white hat said it

The pope is the last person to give advice on rearing children.

It’s kind of like he’s telling us it’s ok to be normal. As a Catholic I’m offended. I know I’m supposed to feel guilty and bad and I should be ashamed.

Everyone always has something to say! Ain’t that the truth.

One more reason to ignore the 'church' - no connection to the reality of family dynamics. Old white men who don't marry have no business telling couples how, when, why, or where to do anything. Best decision I ever made was to utterly reject religion, especially Catholicism.

what about the anguish when his priests were/are molesting and raping young boys?

This is not something requiring papal approval/intervention he should b educating children how to FIGHT OFF predatory clergy!

That, everyone, says since long. It's called opening a door already open...

Nice parenting tip. Here's what else causes anguish, being molested by a trusted family advisor over a period of years

That is very true. Not arguing in front of the kids can also be a good make up tool.

No words...

THIS...THIS is THEIR biggest concern of children How very condescending of them when it should be how to protect children against their pedo priest and those that cover it up...🙄🙄

Parents tell Pope it’s perfectly normal to be a pervert but just stay the hell away from children.

Yeah. Protect those kids! smh

Pope Francis instead of a preacher should make a real effort to explain God's code of the Bible's meaning.

How would the pope know anything about parenting ? Isn’t he prohibited from even getting laid? And why would anyone listen to the leader of a religion? Didn’t all religion start out as some weird, freaky cult? Why is religion accepted in today’s society? It’s stupid and pointless

The Catholic Church is in no position to advise about protecting children. SundayMorning

Is it ok to feed them oxy and brainwash them into believing incest is normal?

I’m going to skip parenting advice from the head of an organization that has a massive problem with protecting pedophiles in their ranks. Thanks, bye.

Strange

… and not against the dictatorship in Argentina !

I've always marveled that for so long we've taken parenting advice from people who don't have kids.

amandagiroux28 Its good that he didn’t say to take the kids to the rectory during an argument

Who are they lessons in education?Abusers!

It's better to do it in front of them. It's also better to resolve things in front of them too. How else will they learn that problems can be solved?

When every child rapist priest is outed and punished I’ll take parenting advice from the Pope

Really? He needs to focus on his Priests behavior. Leadership

He should know. Doh!!!!

Pope logic: Fighting in front of kids...bad Touching kids...good You're the leader of a protected cult who prays to an imaginary man in the sky. What a pathetic life

Kind of a no duhh don’t you think? This is news why?

This is news worthy? Clean your own house before you worry about others! & say “argue” children relate FIGHT to 🥊 punches (thanks liberal Hollywood) & FINALLY be a Pope, you have plenty on your plate!!!

Stop already... we have a lot more problems to worry about in the Catholic Church ....

Baffled at the audacity of the Catholic Church to continue to give advice to people about their kids given the scandals. Also baffled that people stick around the Catholic Church. Also, what gives a Pope this authority or expertise on parenting? Does he have kids?

Just for him; Animals fights (and the British and the Americans) normal people do not as they can control their emotions, if not their animal instinct takes over.

If they fight the way my parents did, it most certainly causes anguish. Totally agree.

Come on folks, why don’t you just write a story about how the Clintons had great love & concern for the people of Haiti? The Pope has no moral authority, runs a global crime syndicate. He needs to resign & join Bene in hiding.The Catholic Church needs a period of new Inquisition.

This dude..... Is one funny dude....

Humans to pope: It is NOT OK to put your weiner in kids. It will cause 'anguish'

But it's difficult to find a private place to fight away from our 14, oops, now 15 kids... darn no birth control

But those fights sometimes lead to death!! Is that also ok papa 🤔

And we need the Pope to tell us this? Ugh, humanity. Get it together.

Not sure his holiness is the right person to be giving advice on marriage and raising a family.

Since he's never been married and had kids he's the last one to fucking judge!!!

kids always know they are not stupid

Absolutely correct

Anyone that finds solace in being told this by the pope is definitely unmarried our living in denial and full of bad parenting skills

“I was a much better parent before I had kids”. My favorite quote of all-time. I should figure out who the credit goes to...

Parental advice from a bachelor running an organisation that historically preyed on the young and weak? No thanks buddy

No wonder the Catholic church is losing parishioners at an alarming rate.

should have also included keep them away from priest!

Yes, for God’s sake, don’t fight in front of the children. Do you want them to grow up to be Pope?

Pope Francis, is a non catholic shit bag.

I guess it's ok if a child is molested as long as it's not done in front of the Parents?

It may be brutally indecent but to be honest its quite, at the end of the couples will still fight and it is worse when your kids see it. It is even a catastrophe when you hide the conflict for ages since it means one of the two is taking the beating.

Children don’t learn about how to deal with conflict and confrontation by hiding it. They don’t learn how to handle disagreements if not modeled. They don’t learn the art of compromise or forgiveness either. Setting them up for unrealistic expectations.

Just another single and childless person offering their Dunning-Kruger advice on marriage and parenting.

Yes, whatever you do, don't teach your children how to argue and resolve conflict. We wouldn't want your catholic butts to be independent and resilient.

Does it cause more anguish than a priest touching children?

Whatever one thinks of the pope, he's right on this.

Fighting between parents is a normal family problem faced by ordinary people. I think what he means is that parents as role models to their children shouldn't expose their weaknesses to their children.

Saint Mark was the first pope of Alexandria. Saint Peter was the first pope of Rome. Saint James was the first pope of Jerusalem. Antioch doesn't have a pope anymore. Am doing this off the top of my head and cannot recall the Arch-diocese of the fifth pope (bishop)

I am the leader of a group that shares an imaginary friend. Take advice from me because everyone thinks I know more about the imaginary friend than anybody else.

Do ...... don’t do !

Leader of international child sexual abuse ring gives parenting advice.

He has no wife, no child. But he once was a child and had parents

I cannot recall 'ever' seeing my parenst argue because of the long-term implications on my young psyche. One time, now that i am looking back into what I remember, and they both came out individually and apologized to us kids. And they didn't need one of the 'FIVE' popes to say.

Focus on your own band of degenerates

Great advice from the lifelong single weird old dude.

How does he know? He doesn’t have a wife or kids.

Yeah, because ANY Pope knows about 'Parenting'...

The man should be given no press other than the investigative pieces proving Church's continued practice of child endangerment via the thousands of sex abuse cases & while you're at it do your job and profile instead the corrupt Vatican Bank, ENOUGH with the fluff pieces.

Thats not bad advice. I hate when people just sit there and argue every fucking day.

I don't think i will be taking child parenting tips from the church any time soon.

It's touching.

Well hell, I wish my parents knew that when I was little. Because that’s all the fucking did was fight.

they really care abt children

Unless you have a civil conversation and show kids how to work through issues. Screaming and yelling, keep it away from them.

Bad advice
