Latest news on Pope Francis

[Just Some Dude]

And a question on whether or not the reporter is reporting accurately. Since I thought I heard that the media is doing a poor job of accurately reporting the current Pope.

Pope Francis 'tells sinner she should be allowed Communion'
In apparent break from Catholic teaching, Pope is said to have phoned remarried Argentine Jacqui Lisbona to say 'nothing wrong' in her taking Holy Communion

Mainstream journalists are the scum of the Earth. Literally all they've done since Pope Francis was elected is twist his words around to support their liberal agenda. So...no, not reliable.

TT, let's see what you say in five years. I have a feeling you conservative Catholics are going to have a lot of 'spraining away to do. We shall see. I

Dee Dee was strangled by the pope's death squads before she could finish her post. The reply button only got hit because she accidentally clicked on it while flailing wildly.

There's a sub-genre of essays in the Catholic blogosphere oriented around pointing out precedents for Francis' words in things Benedict XVI said or wrote.

I still hold to my position that mainstream journalists are scum, though.

Also, "spraining away to do"? Heh, that's pretty ironic.

There are some things that sound "off" here. Including the Churches stance on anullments. I'm sure that it was quite valid when the only court was the church court, but its merely not that way anymore, not to mention there is more than what the church has to say at stake in some cases. At any rate, I don't think the RCC has the final say as to which marriage was valid or not. Plus anullment privileges are often abused.

My first marriage was annulled after she admitted to committing adultery. So, I can concur that it is abused.

Before Francis (circa the death of Mother Theresa), I lost any expectation of the MSM reliably reporting religion from a conservative view point. I just read an article about Pope Francis that read more like a liberal fantasy of what was happening and would happen than what is.
