The GOP hates pope francis because he addresses actual issues they want to ignore.
The GOP’s absurd anti-Pope crusade: The bizarre spectacle of Republicans turning on a religious leader
Faced with the distinct possibility that the man who is currently the world’s most beloved and respected moral authority will publicly shred their governing ideology and rebuke their position on issues from immigration to climate change, conservatives are responding by having a complete meltdown over Pope Francis’ impending visit.



In the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and singing “La! La! La!”

Republican Catholic Congressman Paul Gosar announced that he will boycott Pope Francis’ Thursday speech to Congress because the pope may talk about climate change. As he writes in Time, he was super psyched to hear Francis talk about the persecution of Christian minorities in the Middle East, the “enslavement, belittlement, rape and desecration of Christian women and children,” and the “condoned, subsidized, intentionally planned genocide of unborn children by Planned Parenthood.”

But, to his eternal disappointment, Francis reportedly “instead intends to focus the brunt of his speech on climate change—a climate that has been changing since first created in Genesis.” Even worse, according to Gosar, is the fact that “this climate change talk has adopted all of the socialist talking points, wrapped false science and ideology into ‘climate justice’ and is being presented to guilt people into leftist policies.”

What most disappoints Gosar is that Francis isn’t sticking to “standard Christian theology”—you know, that part of the bible where it says “thou shall not fund Planned Parenthood,” not the part that says “for the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and tenants. Throughout the land that you hold, you shall provide for the redemption of the land” (Leviticus 25:23-24). Or the part that says, “For the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and humans have no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 3:18-22).
 
David, you have to look at it from the GOP's point of view. They are starting to run out of groups to offend. They pretty much have written off the blacks, other than Carson and Cosby. They have lost the Latinos. The gays hate them. The poor hate them. Religions other than Christians have been lost. I've never met a Jewish republican. They lose more women every day. Hell, either the Catholics or the Baptists have to go!

Social conservatives have always had a vendetta against the Catholic church in this country. This is nothing new.
 
They can't be happy that he's against abortion? It's weird that they hate him for positions that are basically re-iterations of the Sermon on the Mount. Talk about cafeteria Christians!!!
 
I have thought it was a mistake from the beginning to appoint a fucking Jesuit as Pope. He's clearly a leftist creep. He's not a Marxist, but I can see how people may get that impression. He is, however, a left-leaning **** who apparently thinks that the poor and wretched have some kind of intrinsic value and that the wealthy have some kind of duty to transfer some of their wealth to them.

Fuck the Jesuit creep!

Good synopsis of the right wingers" "hate agenda" against virtually everyone, except fellow bigots.
 
I heard some conservatives on television today asking if the Pope was Catholic enough to lead the church, because of some of his positions.

Leave it to the conservatives to call Francis a PINO (Pope In Name Only).

......and here's yet another of the dwindling gutter-dwelling, right wingers in desperate need of a strong enema while withering on the vine of inconsequence.
 
Funny how the left suddenly has a more favorable view of the Pope when he is taking more liberal than conservative views on things. For the record I neither love nor hate the Pope he's entitled to his views and to express them the fact he is the Pope does not make his views or opinions more relevant to me than anyone else's.
 
Rightwingers intolerant of a Pope who is less than perfect from the perspective of the rightwing agenda?

Haven't the RWnuts for the longest time been telling us that it's the LEFT that is intolerant of differing views?

(lol, and haven't some of us been telling them they were full of shit to claim that?)
 
Hey..................I liked Pope John Paul II (saw him in the Vatican once), and I thought he was a decent man.

I have absolutely no use for Benedict Ratzinger (I call him Bent Dick the Rat Singer), he was more for the rich and his own status than anything else.

Pope Francis? I like him very much, he seems a lot more open to getting people forgiven than he is for condemning them.

I read post after post from you liberal bed wetters that say Republicans, right wingers, Christians and anyone else that disagrees with you HATES.

Here is an example of HATE from one of your ilk "Hell, either the Catholics or the Baptists have to go!" There are hundreds more from you ignorant bigoted assholes that don't know the difference between hate and disagreement.

WOW, what a revelation....sort of like conservatives liking the presidency more under Reagan than under Obama?

My family is catholic, I was raised catholic my entire life, I am baptized, received my first communion, and I am confirmed. Of course, this was years ago and I'm now an atheist, but don't try to tell me about the catholic faith.
 
I left the Church of Rome for many reasons. But I love her still to this day. But this Pope disturbs me.

Why? Because he believes in man made influence on the climate and fighting income inequality?
 
who apparently thinks that the poor and wretched have some kind of intrinsic value
So did Jesus.

First of all, Jesus Christ probably did not exist in the way you think he did.

Secondly, If he did exist I can say with no qualm that I am opposed to his leftist tripe. People should be judged on what they do instead of being assigned intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is, in essence, a form of social subside in that it entitles someone, King or skag rapist, to certain natural rights that they did nothing to earn.

Third, I am an atheist. Therefore, your intended "profound" comeback failed miserably.

I'm not lecturing you. I would never do that. Faith is personal. Pfffffffffffffft in the top of the world finding faith north of 60 personal.
