What would you do if you met pope Francis?

[Alwayreckles93]

I would tell him face to face that he is Human a SINNER! HE IS not Jesus not God. Explaining to him bible scripture that he shouldn't be idolized by people. Well you are all welcome to comment. How would you react if you met Pope Francis face to face?

[ohsheeT]

Probably look into his eyes and say hello that's about it... One day somebody else will judge him I don't need to it's none of my business to a point. And if you honestly think about it you could be every better before him you would want to say the same thing

[dazzafromoz]

I like how you think. As catholics we are taught to love ALL and pray for ALL and that ALL are equal in the eyes of God. It's sad to see posts like this from someone who's from a brainwashed background attacking an entire faith for no reason.

[DJB72]

He's someone I'd like to talk to about the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism. At length.

[dazzafromoz]

This is a great topic but not much to discuss. Protestants took catholicism, removed about 90 laws and rebranded. That's it in a nutshell. And catholicism and orthodoxy will never follow this bastardisation of the faith.

Our priests can be traced back to the original 12 disciples, and your 'pastors' are not recognised outside your own faith.

Although as a catholic I love all, including all who believe in Christ differently to me, and I pray for everyone and the unification of the church.

[DJB72]

"Pastor"?

Your "priests" didn't claim to be the descendants of the disciples for centuries after the disciples were dead. Especially Peter. Only "tradition" even suggests Peter had children - they aren't mentioned in scripture.

[dazzafromoz]

They aren't physical descendants they are spiritual. That means the disciples chose them and every priest in catholicism and most likely in orthodoxy as well can be traced back to St Peter (the Pope) and the 12 disciples. Your "pastors" can't. A catholic priest can go into any catholic or orthodox priest in any country in the world and he is recognised. Your pastors first aren't chosen of God second they aren't recognised in any church outside your minority.

Please don't misunderstand me I love all who profess their love for Christ and I pray for them of course. And I met many great "pastors" who are really cool great people. However facts remain and no matter how much time passes they don't get wiped out.

[coxoabean]

I would do the same thing hehe! I'd tell him he's a heretic and shouldn't be in the position he is in. That he's being wicked to allow people to idolize him.

[Alwayreckles93]

You are a smart young woman good job. I see even at your young age you are full of wisdom.

[coxoabean]

Thank you I appreciate your kind words 💗

[dazzafromoz]

Literally no one idolises him. We idolise what he represents spiritually as he is the one and only successor of St Peter who Christ chose to build his church.

Every single catholic priest can trace their origin back to the original 12 disciples. No other so called christian-sect can claim this.

[coxoabean]

@dazzafromoz your saying pope Francis was chosen by God? To build his church?

[dazzafromoz]

Jesus Christ the son of God chose Saint Peter to build his church. Saint Peter is therefore the original Pope. The other disciples were the original Bishops. When Saint Peter died he past on the Popehood to another Pope. This current Pope is the successor of the previous Popes and traces back to Saint Peter. It is all documented.

All catholic priests can trace their priesthood back to an original of the 12 disciples. No other so called christian-sect can do this and their 'pastors' or whatever you call them are not recognised.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I don’t think he’s ever claimed to be Jesus or God though.

All I see is just a heretic that preaches false doctrine and mends the religion to support his own biases.

So truly I’d tell him to resign and go f^ck himself either way.

[Alwayreckles93]

What I don't get why people idolized the pope so much.

[dazzafromoz]

He has never claimed to be Jesus or God but he is 100% the spiritual descendent of St Peter whom Christ himself chose to build his church.

Catholivs believe he is a sinner same as all men. He goes to confession weekly. Also, he is equal to all men and has the hardest job in the world to run the church and continue to evangelise.

[strateguy632]

He never denied those "SINNER! HE IS not Jesus not God"

[dazzafromoz]

Does anyone understand this comment? Sounds like bloke had a stroke after he typed his first word.

[FunkyMonkee]

Ask him why god is perfectly okay with him and his minions keeping kidnapped children locked up in their sub basements so they can rape and molest them on a regular basis.

[dazzafromoz]

You are a sick and misinformed man who's mind is so manipulated and damaged. I pray that you find some sense and logic and move away from sin.

[FunkyMonkee]

@dazzafromoz Why? Because I speak the truth? I've heard from people that used to be captives and told me of the horrors they had to put up with. I used to have a next door neighbor that molested me twice and I caught him trying to beat off over my head one night while I was sleeping on the porch! He admitted he wanted to become a priest so he could fondle little boys! And, look at how many priests actually do that!!
I don't HAVE any sins!

[FunkyMonkee]

He also got my little brother and one of my sisters!

[dazzafromoz]

So because of a couple of questionable examples of what appear bad people you judge an entire group?

There is no nation, religion or sexual orientation that does not do these despicable low acts.

[FunkyMonkee]

@dazzafromoz You don't seem to know how to read. I SAID, I heard from a girl who was one of the MANY captives in the vatican sub-basements.

[dazzafromoz]

So you got second hand information from someone who got second hand information and you form judgement on that? Heavy duty imbecile you are.

[FunkyMonkee]

@dazzafromoz You really don't have a brain, do you?

[Luckycharms12]

Say hello nice to meet you he is a human like everyone else nothing special no religion speaks for god just people's interpretation of God

[DryGermanGuy]

Stay out of Italy, you Karen. If I am not interested in Catholicism, I don’t waste my time with telling them how to do their job.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Lol. Either way I’ve heard Europe already has to deal with entitled American tourists all the time. But Brits aren’t well liked tourists either as I understand.

My friend when he was in Portugal said he was in a tour group with British girls twerking at a religious historical site for a Tiktok, and a Portuguese guy actually threatened to call the Police on them. Can’t say I blame him though but I’d still hope that kind of shit doesn’t happen all the time cuz it’s just plain disrespectful and unprofessional.

The way I see things, being in somebody else’s country should be viewed the same way as somebody hosting you in their home; respect local customs.

[dazzafromoz]

Catholicism isn't confined to Italy but I like your post. If you can't share love why share hatred.

But I feel this karen has been raised this way and brainwashed. As a catholic I truly love her and want the best for her and pray her eyes and heart open up to all humanity regardless of race or religion and realise we are really all one and the same.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nothing cause it's not my place to judge anyone that's for God to do

[dazzafromoz]

Good comment God bless you

[dazzafromoz]

I would kiss his hand. This man is the successor of St Peter who Jesus chose to build his church.

[impalabill77]

Kiss his ring and ask for a blessing, I'm a disabled man and as for a miracle.

[dazzafromoz]

God bless you and I will pray for you today.

[impalabill77]

Thank you.

[handsomelad70]

Say,"Honoured to meet you, Your Holiness."

[Anonymous]

Ask him to bring Rome back into Orthodox Christianity

[dazzafromoz]

Firstly there was no orthodox Christianity. Ever. And you can't find one reference to it.

Secondly it was always the holy catholic church even when the eastern church was a part of it. You should know this basic fact. Catholic simply means universal in Greek.

Thirdly yes 100% I support finding a way for the church to become one again. The reasons for separation were incredibly unbelievable and the representative from Vatican went too hard. Compromise should have been sought instead of kicking the eastern church out.

[Dargil]

Choke my way through it. And I am half RC.

[dazzafromoz]

There is no half. Only is or isn't.

Jesus said be either hot or cold if you are lukewarm you will be spat out.

[Dargil]

@dazzafromoz Disagree.

[dazzafromoz]

It's not up for debate. It's the teaching and belief of the universal church. The church doesn't need your agreement on its teaching.

[dazzafromoz]

Open your Bible go to Revelation 3 verse 15-18 it's right there.

[Dargil]

@dazzafromoz Not debating. It is my position.

[dazzafromoz]

Your position is wrong.

Being half RC is same as being a submarine helicopter. You don't exist.

[Staximus]

I would say "nice hat, dude!"
