Pope praises Samaritan’s witness, warns against those who present the faith with ‘mathematical rigidity’ [CWN]

[irenaeus1]

Used to be good. Of late, they’ve hopped (half-heartedly) on the “Francis is dangerous!” bandwagon.

I think that’s because it is becoming increasingly difficult to defend what the pope says. Believe me, I’ve been doing that with friends, people in faith groups that I’m involved with, even occasionally on Facebook when someone posts something a bit questionable painting the Holy Father in an unfavorable light. It pains me greatly to say this, but I’m getting rather close to jumping upon that bandwagon.

Unfortunately, the more he speaks and gives off-the-cuff interviews, the more we see people jump on that bandwagon. I fear that while trying to be a grand unifier of every faith and bringing all peoples together, Pope Francis has instead caused a great division among the faithful Catholics in his own flock who actually believe and adhere to the True Faith. I pray for him daily and hope everyone else on here does, too.
