Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
I'm not here to debate Catholic theology or berate the Catholics in this forum.
But today the Pope shocked me. The RCC is in the MIDDLE of their summit on abuse, and I'm reading an article on how the Pope said that those who are critics of the Church are "friends of the devil." OMGosh! You can't have it both ways!!! You can't have transparency and bash those who are talking. Indeed the only reason the RCC is cleaning up its act is because of the relentless pressure from victim groups.
Catholics, is this driving you nuts? How do you deal with contradictions like this? How does it make you feel about your Pontiff? Does it change your actions personally as a Catholic, like are you going to Mass less or giving less money? Do you think the double mindedness will undermine the summit? Are you hoping and praying that Pope Francis will resign? How long do you REALISTICALLY think it will take to fix this scandal? Decades? A century? Never?
