Pope Francis Suggests: Donald Trump ‘Is Not Christian’


Mediaite.com:
While speaking on Mexican-American border, Pope Francis said that Donald Trump was “not a Christian,” while declining to instruct Catholics not to vote for him.

“Can a good Catholic vote for this man?” a reporter asked him.

“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” His Holiness responded. “This is not in the Gospel.”

“As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that,” he said. “I say only that this man is not Christian if he said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way, and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.”

Trump responded almost immediately, interrupting a stump speech to give a response calling the Pope “a very political person.”

Vatican Sacks Gay Priest After Highly Public Coming Out


YahooNews.com:
The Vatican on Saturday dismissed a Polish priest from his Holy See job after he came out as gay and called for changes in Catholic teachings against homosexual activity on the eve of a major Church meeting on the family.

Monsignor Krzysztof Charamsa, a theologian, had worked at the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican's doctrinal arm, since 2003, and taught theology at pontifical universities in Rome, which have also dismissed him.

Charamsa, 43, told Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper and Polish media that he was gay and had a partner. The Church teaches that homosexuality is not a sin but homosexual activity is, and priests, whether heterosexual or gay, take vows of celibacy.

Charasma followed up his media interviews with a packed news conference with his partner and gay activists at a Rome restaurant. They had planned a demonstration in front of the Vatican but changed the venue several hours before it was due to have started.

The Vatican said the dismissal had nothing to do with Charasma's reflections on his personal life, which it said "merit respect".

But it said his interviews and the planned demonstration was "grave and irresponsible" given their timing on the eve of a synod of bishops who will discuss family issues, including the Church's position on gays.

The Vatican said his actions were aimed at subjecting the synod, which Pope Francis opens on Sunday, to "undue media pressure". He presided at prayer vigil for the synod on Saturday night before tens of thousands of people in St Peter's Square.

At the news conference, Charamsa said he wanted to make "an enormous noise for the good of the Church" and apply "good Christian pressure" on the synod not to forget homosexual believers.

"This decision of mine to come out was a very personal one taken in a Catholic Church that is homophobic and very difficult and harsh (towards gays)," he said.
If the Vatican starts caving to the Gay Mafia, soon there will be no point in joining a church.

Vatican Confirms That Pope Francis Did Meet Privately with Kim Davis


NYTimes.com:
Pope Francis met privately in Washington last week with Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who defied a court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, a Vatican spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.

Ms. Davis, the clerk in Rowan County, has been at the center of a nationwide controversy over whether government employees and private businesses have a legal right to refuse to serve same-sex couples. She spent five days in jail for disobeying a federal court order to issue the licenses.

On Tuesday night, her lawyer, Mathew D. Staver, said in a telephone interview that Ms. Davis and her husband, Joe, were sneaked into the Vatican Embassy by car on Thursday afternoon. Francis gave her rosaries and told her to “stay strong,” the lawyer said. The couple met for about 15 minutes with the pope, who was accompanied by security guards, aides and photographers. Mr. Staver said he expected to receive photographs of the meeting from the Vatican soon.
On Wednesday, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed that the meeting took place, but he declined to elaborate. “I do not deny that the meeting took place, but I have no other comments to add,” he said.

Ms. Davis described the meeting in an interview on Wednesday with ABC News.

“I put my hand out and he reached and he grabbed it, and I hugged him and he hugged me,” Ms. Davis said. “And he said, ‘Thank you for your courage.’ ”

“I was crying. I had tears coming out of my eyes,” she said. “I’m just a nobody, so it was really humbling to think he would want to meet or know me.”
Good for Kim Davis, the Rosa Parks of our generation and too bad for Godless liberals who've tried to stamp this Pope as some sort of 'progressive theologian' who's shown a willingness to compromise the Catholic doctrine for their morally bankrupt agenda.

Pope Francis: Goverment Workers Have ‘Human Right’ to Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses


Mediaite.com:
In an interview with a gaggle of reporters, Pope Francis said government workers should have the right to refuse to issue gay marriage licenses if it was against their conscience.

“Conscientious objection must enter into every judicial structure because it is a right,” he said in Rome when asked about government employees like Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.

“I can’t have in mind all cases that can exist about conscientious objection, but yes, I can say that conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right,” he continued. “And if someone does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right.”

1st Gay President Barck Obama Invites Homosexual Guests To Pope Francis Visit


Mediaite.com:
Catholic League president Bill Donohue ripped into President Obama this morning for inviting LGBT guests to Pope Francis‘s ceremony when he arrives in the nation’s capital.

The White House announced it would be inviting an openly gay priest, a transgender activist, and a nun with a reputation for clashing with the Catholic Church. The Vatican has, needless to say, not been very happy about the guest list.

Donohue told CNN’s Michael Smerconish this morning Obama is showing “contempt for Catholics.” He argued that if a visiting Jewish or Muslim leader came to D.C., the White House wouldn’t bring in anyone who isn’t “respectful” of their positions.

Smerconish asked if this very inclusive pope would care, since he’s indicated a welcoming view of all people. Donohue insisted that photo ops could be “exploited” by people looking to claim the pope suddenly sanctions what they have normally been steadfastly opposed to.

Donohue also described His Holiness as a mix between Mike Huckabee and Bernie Sanders.
No surprise here, teh gheys are the community this proudly non-Christian POTUS most serves.

Pope Francis Reportedly Rejects New, Openly Gay French Ambassador to Vatican


Mediaite.com:
Pope Francis has reportedly rejected the nomination of a French ambassador to the Vatican because he is openly gay. Laurent Stefanini was nominated for the position back in January, but the Vatican has made no public statements on whether they will accept his credentials.

And according to multiple news reports, the Vatican generally takes a month and a half to accept such nominations; any longer and it’s taken as a silent rejection.

And at least one French news outlet reports the decision not to accept Stefanini was made by Pope Francis himself.

The pope, of course, is personally against gay marriage, but has talked of people loving their gay brothers and sisters and said the Catholic Church should stop “obsessing” over gay marriage and abortion.
Wow, the leader of the Catholic church and its doctrine, standing up to the Godless Left and not wanting hypocritical gay priests amongst his leaders?! How dare he???
