Pope says some 'backward' conservatives in US Catholic Church have replaced faith with ideology
Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church. He says they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.

The Pope has just come out and proclaimed that American Catholics are backward in relation to their opposition to such things as abortion and sex and gender. He says that their ideology has replaced their faith and also says that American Catholics that have attacked him in the past, says it was an honor to be their object of scorn.
Perhaps this is why the Catholic church has not come down hard on pedophile priests within the church. We are confronted about every day regarding a pedophile abusing a child in the news, so perhaps those that oppose such behavior are now backward and not going along with the common morals of our time. In fact, in ancient Sparta and Greece, all men took on under aged boy lovers.
I think the Catholic church at least should come out and redefine such things as abortion as not being murder. That is the least they could do, unless, being opposed to murder is now backward. Then again, with people dancing in the streets all over the world in celebration of Hamas slaughtering Jews, perhaps it is now hip to murder.
I dunno, only the Pope has such moral clarity, so ask him.
