Pope Francis condemned the "very strong, organised, reactionary attitude" in the US church and said Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Empty balloon. Even bible says "you will know them by their fruits" and his fruit is soap bubble. Nothing he says is of any consequence whatsoever to the real church politics.
Well, he's less vile than the likes of John Paul 2, Pius 12 or Benedict 16 but that's not saying much.
He has an effective marketing strategy where he says things that sound like change that make headlines, and then later clarifies that nothing actually is going to change in a release that has 1% of the coverage.
He's just another pope, none push for material change. There is no real difference between the 1st pope and this one, they are basically just figures to attract donations i wouldn't be surprised if some billionaire made a donation for him to say this.
Excommunicate them. Sorry for my ignorance on the subject, can the pope still do that?
