Speaking as a Catholic, I can't take Pope Francis seriously. His globalist-leaning behavior is far too politically motivated. I think he is dangerously off the rails as pontiff and is steering Catholicism down the wrong track.
He refuses to denounce Biden's support of abortion or to deny him Communion because of it. Yet any Catholic woman who undergoes an abortion is automatically excommunicated from the Catholic Church, unable to receive Communion. Evidently it's Biden's choice that is acceptable to the pope, not the unfortunate pregnant woman's choice. That's secular hypocrisy worthy of America's legacy media machine.
Climate change is a hot topic for Francis, no pun intended. He's now preaching to young people to protect the environment. Excuse me, but how does this fit in with the Great Commission? Jesus Christ left a clear directive that his disciples were to teach his message--love God and neighbor--and to baptize them. That's it. He makes no discernable mention of the weather.
Furthermore, there's a story in both Matthew's and Mark's gospels that Jesus actually killed a tree. For the self-appointed environmental pope, how awkward is that?
