New Pope Francis I is a conservative in the mold of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II. That’s especially true on the issue of abortion, which he called a “death sentence” for the unborn in 2007. “We aren’t in agreement with the death penalty,” he said during that speech, “but in Argentina we have the death penalty. A child conceived by the rape of a mentally ill or retarded woman can be condemned to death.”
In the Aparecida Document, a document that represents a joint statement by Latin American church leaders but presented by Francis in 2007, the leaders stated, “we should commit ourselves to ‘eucharistic coherence,’ that is, we should be conscious that people cannot receive holy communion and at the same time act or speak against the commandments, in particular when abortions, euthanasia, and other serious crimes against life and family are facilitated. This responsibility applies particularly to legislators, governors, and health professionals.”

Do the folks out there (in the elderly group) remember the 1st and 2nd world wars? I have German connections and believe me, Hitler and his crew started doing the same thing Obama is doing right now!!! This is frightening to me. Hitler did not start controlling people right away…it started a few years ahead of his tyrannical leadership. Obama is, right now, controlling what we buy in the grocery store, how we spend our money, how much we have..especially the seniors on Social Security!!!! The brainwashing began back in the 1960s and 1970s or maybe even a bit before that. I have an excellent memory and I can give dates for the major changes that have been occuring in the school systems, etc. Remember when we were casually kicking around the term “Dumbing down America?” Well, here it is….we have been dumbed down, manipulated…and our little fellows don’t even know the difference!! They have really never known the pure freedom that America was all about! Let’s take back America before it is TOO LATE! AND, by the way, we can’t mention God anymore and of course Jesus is considered a bad word in the Washington, D.C area. Even in my town we are not allowed, in anything to do with City Business, to mention religion….God or Jesus!! Or, as far as I know, allowed to pray at meetings!!!! WE have come a long way to get to this point….Lets stop the insanity now, before it is too late. We are so vulnerable to a foreign power coming in and taking us over that it is scary.
Why is impeachment impossible to him? Are we going to wait for the rise of another Hitler before people realize it is too late to do anything?
Hallejulah! Perhaps this new Pope will keep hypocrits like John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden from partaking of Communion while at the same time backing unlimited abortion and the death panels in Obamacare! There is a special place in hell being prepared for them.
You forgot Caroline Kennedy Slutsberg and the other Kennedys.
I'll believe this when I see it.Joe BiteMe Biden is going over there to part take in the new popes first mass and I'll bet you he along with Lurch recieve communion.I have yet to see the church stand up to these baby killers.
Let's pray for this Pope because I am afraid those he refuse to give Communion will use their power to destroy the church founded by the True God. I believe he was chosen by the Holy Spirit and Jesus appears to him. He is the true picture of our Lord in humility and truthfulness.
They may try to destroy him but the church has endured for persecution for years and I believe will willstill endure.But if your going to give in to the Biden ,Kennedys and Kerry then I'll stop going.I hope this Pope has the balls to bring us back to what the church is suppose to stand for.
Joe Biteme is a Catholic in name only. I would love to see Pope Francis refuse to give him communion, because I don' t think he'd go to confession for being a baby killer.
