PopeWatch: Kiss

Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Bergoglio craves attention, acclaim, praise, and honor. He isn’t getting it from authentic Catholics. So he goes to Musloids. A man who has no self-esteem and knows he’s worthless constantly needs his ego stroked. It’s rather masturbatory.
He fears islam and loves Caesar. Clearly so.
As some call it, “ecumaniacal”
Why is it that, in our modern times, organizations seem willing trample over their beliefs to be acceptable to all people? Is it a defect that comes with a more democratic (small d) world, that organizations seem to be unwilling to be anything but acceptable to all?
We have a Protestant church where I live that is a union of Lutherans and Methodists. I don’t understand. If you believed what the Lutherans did, you’d become Lutheran and there would be no need for the Methodist part (and vice versa) right?
Perhaps man has fallen so far that many do not believe in anything except our appetites. Perhaps if given regular meals, acceptable housing and treats of all persuasions, few care what is true or reflect that this condition is not permanent. How many, by this comfort, have effectively abandoned God?

@The Bruised Optimist –> modern day Methodists have no idea what John Wesley, founder of Methodism with his brother Charles and an Anglican priest to the day he died, taught, nor do modern day Lutherans have any idea what Martin Luther taught. The same is true of Reformed and John Calvin, and Presbyerians and John Knox. I can tell you for a fact that the Pentecostals at my old Assemblies of God Church have no idea that their denomination was a breakaway (along with the Nazarenes, the Church of God, and later the Church of the Four Square Gospel – oh Aimee Semple McPherson!) from Methodism in the early 1900s. These people have NO idea what their founders taught (or did! Oh Finis Jennings Dake from the Assemblies of God! He and Aime in that separate denomination were in corruption competition!). But these Protestant people today like the rock and roll band on the stage, and the prosperity preaching nonsense! Pope freaking Francis is just playing catch up. He’ll never, however, be as good at it as Dake was!
Sooo grateful that I never bought into any of the prosperity gospel nonsense. (If I had, my financial setbacks would have led to a crisis of faith long ago!) Thankfully, history provides many examples of holy Catholics in decidedly un-prosperous conditions.
I suspected you too had a pre-Catholic phase – something in your hold-the-bridge fortitude…
You probably won’t be surprised but when I dated a girl from an Assemblies of God church, she could not answer what “assemblies” referred to. The modern age carries its lukewarmness as a badge of honor!
The Muslim’s would be loving this.
@The Bruised Optimist –> Indeed! The majority of laity (and most clerics) in the Assemblies of God have NO idea that the ancient word for Assemblies (Churches) is Ecclesiae. I checked out the FB page of the AG Church that I attended as a child –> the usual stage with rock and roll band, and the preacher boy in t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers though he is much older now). It’s all about feelings.
