I gave you a like even though I’ve already proven that Francis is not a communist. Communists outlawed the Catholic Church since it infringed upon their authority.
Catholicism vs. Protestantism.

Francis is not a good pope. Isn't it crazy how even in the circle of Catholicism you have strong devoted Catholics who dedicate their lives to living out their faith who detest Francis, and then you have the Catholics-by-name-only who choose to go to Mass and confession "whenever" and don't actually live-out their faith who think he's great. Which side do you choose? I already know because you love him. Therefore, I would suggest that you are a Catholic-by-name-only. It's a challenge to go all-in and devote yourself, your whole life, to your faith. It is then you choose to dedicate yourself 100% to Him.
And again, I don’t really care what a fallen Catholic thinks I am. You have no say in the matter.
Do I think Francis is “great?” No better than any of the other Popes. He is the leader of the One True Church. That’s all that matters.
No, but at least I understand what a communist is. Anyone that thinks that, including your sister, is an idiot. Sorry.
Yes, the first part of your answer is true - it's unknown and I showed it as such. Even JPII stated such. He never declared it as factual, so your attempt to prove a "logical fallacy" suggests you are claiming I am wrong and simply want to take the high ground. I mentioned before you can never be wrong because you are narcissist and can't say these three words: I WAS WRONG. Can't you ever see your ignorance here?
And my sister, who as a Catholic is praying with her prayer group every single day the 4 mysteries of the rosary, who goes to Mass daily and confession weekly and offers up prayers daily is an idiot? I think not. I know she wouldn't call you an idiot - she'd just pray for you. Me, on the other hand - yes, I call you an idiot.
Explain to me why I am a fallen Catholic? Explain to me why you think I no longer am a part of a cult?
Explain how "YOUR ONE TRUE CHURCH" saves you? I just killed your Eucharist concept. But of course, you didn't read it, and if you did I'm sure you did with blind, narcissistic eyes.
I read it. I even gave you a like for the post. Although it was late and I fell asleep halfway through your missive.
And no, you didn’t kill the Eucharist concept. Like a lot of Protestants, you merely selectively chose certain sections and gave your OPINION on what it meant. Here’s an example.
“Oh man, can you imagine the looks on these people’s faces?! Really? Eat His flesh? Ah, but this is where the Catholic might say, “See there? This is the Eucharist that Jesus speaks of.” But not so fast. I believe it is here that Jesus isn’t speaking of the Eucharist but of an event that hasn’t yet occurred but must occur: His passion – His death on the Cross so those who believe can have eternal life.”
Thats one of the major problems with Protestan sects. There is no consistency. Anyone can call themself a Reverend, pitch a tent, and start speaking for God. Not in the Catholic Church. Starting at the beginning, We have centuries of scholarly thought and a process for our dogma. People like Ignatius, Aquinas, More, Chesterton, Benedict and all the Popes. You have people like Joel Osteen And Benny Hinn.
You are now just one of a thousand different Christian interpretations. Talk about being a narcissist.
You left the Church, for whatever reason. Simple as that. You now subscribe to a different dogma, no longer able to receive theSacrament of the Eucharist. Lucky for you, It’s not too late to change your misguided ways.

She sounds like a good Catholic, but is not very intelligent if she thinks the Pope is a communist.
Where has he called for private property to be abolished
where has he called for the elimination of capitalism
where has he called for the end of democratically elected leaders
where has he called for the leader of the communist party to have ultimate control over the people
where has he called for such leader to ban the Catholic and other religions
OMG. Not in Francis's country. He grew up being educated by the very liberal priests who were socialists and Communists. It shaped him and formed him. He's not Russian, or Chinese. He's a South American version.
You go ahead and blindly follow him, though.
This ties in neatly and explains perfectly with why you so blindly follow the Dims.
You forgot the snakes. We don't hand out snakes. No one has to get to church early to get the best ones. 🙄
He's just trolling. Some of you fall for it way too easy. He has no life and nothing to keep him entertained.
Catholics are not a cult. On that I will object.
The things that bind ALL Christians together are believing in God and believing that his Son Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.
Merry Christmas.
Idiot? That's it. You're a clown. Politics aside, you. are. a. clown.
No, they weren’t communists. And he’s not. Here is one of the principles of communism.
“Religions have historically been expressions of human development-so-far. But communism is the stage of social development which will make religion superfluous, causing its disappearance.”
Do you think he agrees with this?
And yes, as leader of my Church, I will follow him.
Actually, I don’t blindly follow the Democrats (Dims is such a childish dig), although I‘m sure they are good people. In fact, Biden was the only Democrat I voted for in this last election. I disagree with much of the Democratic platform.
It’s the Trumpers that are the blind followers, or as many will say, a cult.

Ha, Do you know her? Do you know how many times I’ve been called an idiot on here? I just consider the source. Like water off a ducks back.
Please list the principles of communism that the Pope supports. I listed many of them above.
I'm not a Trumper, but if you voted for Biden, you're going to get the Democratic platform. Surely you are able to realize that?
Or maybe not...
He's railed on about unequal distribution of wealth, and rich v. Poor.
Incrementalism...it starts slowly...
Every post left here has been his attempt to start an argument. Check the tone of every post. He's only here to start a fight cause that's how he gets people to notice him.
He is painfully desperate for attention, and to be fair, he's getting a lot of it here.
I "liked" JP II until they rushed him into Sainthood, knowing he was completely aware of the pedophile scandal in the Catholic Church all over the world. Of course he knew. Churches everywhere were getting sued and large payments were awarded. I guarantee you JP II knew all about the Church's payoffs. Isn't that why Benedict retired?
a German lawyer charged with investigating the abuse of minors in a famous Catholic boys' choir in Bavaria revealed that two hundred and thirty-one children had been victimized over a period of decades. The attorney, Ulrich Weber, who was commissioned by the Diocese of Regensburg to conduct the inquiry, said that there were fifty credible cases of sexual abuse, along with a larger number of cases of other forms of physical abuse, from beatings to food deprivation.
The news received widespread attention not only because of its disturbing content but because the director of the Regensburg boys' choir from 1964 to 1994 was Georg Ratzinger, the older brother of Joseph Ratzinger, who became Benedict XVI. Joseph Ratzinger was the Archbishop of Munich from 1977 until 1981, when he went to head up the powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which establishes theological orthodoxy and was also one of the branches of the Church that dealt with priestly sexual abuse.
Okay, I'd admit it isn't a cult insomuch as one would suggest having a charismatic leader or ideology superceeding the directional belief in Jesus Christ or doorknocking to have people join. But it can be as close to one as one can get.
Within the framework of the Catholic Church they hold to certain standards that must be adhered to. I didn't think too much of them as being overwhelming until I understood the simplicity of just following Jesus and not the Church with its rules. There are rules that must be followed to be in good standing within the Church. What?
Think about @BSC911 for a moment. How many times has he said "The One True Church" and "Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation"? The Catholic Church has many rules to follow. They indoctrinate you through Catechism in understanding that the Catholic Church is the one Jesus first started with Peter as the first Pope. They define your salvation through the Church and not through Christ and that salvation can lost and found on a daily basis. They determine your sins as mortal or venial. Through the priest, they absolve your sins and then make sure you do penance for your failure as a human. They strap onto your back so many rules and regulations that they have a book called the catechism that is bigger than the bible. All these man-made rules and regulations placed upon you to keep you in line with THEIR teachings. They don't deny Jesus Christ. What they do is intercede in place of Jesus Christ just like the Pharisees did with their ideological rules and regulations. It's totally a works-based process. They'll deny that. I did. But it's true. All of it.
I CANNOT believe I am about to say this, but I agree with everything you just said.
And you are correct sir. He thrives for it. I cannot believe I fall for his antics. Arguing goes nowhere. Even the bible says that.
So did Jesus.
Really, that’s all you’ve got? Believing that it’s wrong for 1% of the population to control more wealth than 90% of the population.while many are staving makes one a communist? That’s pretty weak. I guess that’s just something rich people say to make themself feel better.

This is another reason I choose not to be an active Catholic.
GOD is our leader. Not a human with an agenda that isn't part of Catholic dogma.
I'm not rich, you clown. And the Church is one of the wealthiest entities on earth. What treasures are they liquidating in order to remedy "starving" ????
Your numbers are so inflated.
Isn’t Communism by definition the redistribution of wealth?
All (okay most) of us raised in the Church have had these same thoughts. The realization that God does not live locked up on the altar of your local parish is a moment we've al had...okay maybe not BSC.
Wasn't the $1.6 trillion give-a-way to billionaires in Trump's tax cuts redistribution of wealth?
