Pope Francis reminds us that the traditions of the Church should always prioritize spreading the Gospel, not political ideologies. Let's reflect on his message and remember to keep the Gospel at the center of our beliefs: The Gospel is not ‘a political party, an ideology, a club’ pic.twitter.com/g2fIgQov1D

Our ever gaslighting Pope.
It’s too late. When he sounds just like the WHO and UN, and hire pro aborts to board of pontifical academy of life, I can’t listen anymore. When he keeps elevating the same men who were responsible for the child sex abuse cover-up, then act all flustered when their is a scandal, I’m out (not even listening)He’s like a broken clock. He might be right 2x a day.
The most political pope since Anthony Quinn.
Pope Francis does not act “in persona Christi”
THE SEAL OF THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE
The seal of the Sacrament of Penance is protected by every man made law in a court of law.
A court of law does not accept hearsay or third hand overheard testimony from evesdropping. Two witnesses establish a judicial fact.
In the Sacrament of Penance, the penitent confesses his sins to Jesus Christ. The priest acting “in persona Christi” consumates the sacrament with penance and absolution.
Anything the priest says outside the Sacrament of Penance is his own opinion, and is hearsay, uncorroborated testimony, unacceptible, as the priest’s testimony is from evesdropping at a conversation between a penintent and Jesus Christ.
If this is not true, then the priest has overstepped his bounds and has excommunicated himself because he has violated the sacred trust of the relationship of Christ with a penitent.
Jesus Christ gave priests the power to act as His representatives in the Sacrament of Penance. Jesus did not betray His friends, nor should His representatives betray His friends.
