Pope Francis sees Benedict XVI as a grandfather figure

Pope Francis said Sunday that his relationship with Benedict XVI gives him strength and reminds him of the living tradition of the Church.

“When I hear him speak, I become strong. I hear this story of the Church,” Pope Francis said of Benedict in an in-flight press conference June 2.

Speaking aboard the papal flight returning from Romania, Francis said that each time he visits the pope emeritus, he feels more like family.

“Every time I go to visit him I feel like that, I take his hand and get him to talk. He speaks little, slowly, but with the same depth, as always -- because Benedict's problem is his knees, not his head,” he said.

Pope Francis must learn from Pope Benedict. Follow Christ 's teachings and do not reinvent it with your modern ideas .

Such a beautiful testament to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. Love him. I didn't appreciate him when he was Pope. I must pray more for both him and Francis.
Yes, I think that the McCarrick report MUST be released publicly and NOW. We must get to the bottom of this filth and CLEAN IT OUT and PUBLICLY. Otherwise, it's worth nothing. Just like Pope Gregory VII (Hildebrand) laid down the law in truth---so MUST Francis!

“I feel the tradition of the Church and move right away to destroy it.”

“I love Benedict XVI so much that I summarily threw Summorum Pontificum right back in his face!”

God save us from this heretic pope!

Pope Benedict was a great Papa. Unfortunately, Francis follows the darkness. We pray for Francis because he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has allowed Satan in our church. Jesus...help.is. 🙏

Virgin Mary appeared and said to pray for the Conversion of Pope Francis. And I would suggest the Cardinals who conspired to elect Francis in violation of the rules. The liberals are snares to God.
Hail Mary full of grace the lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus, Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Your grandfather??? But he's almost your age

[AgentClaytonWebb]

Yeah and he set out to destroy that tradition he heard, I bet!

[jackieann]

This man is scandalizing countless souls and relentlessly damaging the Catholic Church ....God have mercy on his soul .

The Lord is the only god out there. Jesus died and got hanged on the cross so that we can go to heaven. He then got placed inside a tomb and Roman Guards were guarding his body to make sure hhis 12 Apostles wont steal it. His head was covered with a cloth then his body was covered with another cloth. 3 days later Jesus’ 12 apostles went to the tomb of Jesus then finds out that his body was gone and they also saw that his the cloth that was covering his body and the cloth that was covering his head was folded neatly meaning they rose from the dead. His Apostles also then locked themselves inside a room because they were panicking on how they can preach about Jesus. Because they were just simple people, they didn’t know how to preach. They were only fishermen. Saint Mary Magdalene also had the same problem but then while she was worrying Jesus then appeared to Saint Mary Magdalene and Jesus said “ Mary”. Because she heard her name she knew that Jesus rose from the dead. 40 days later Jesus stayed here on earth to prove that he is God and then ascended into heaven. 10 days after that he sent the Holy Spirit among Mother Mary(Not Mary Magdalene. The Mother of Jesus who is a Virgin) with his 12 Apostles who were in the house of Jesus’ last supper then the Holy Spirit told them to spread the God's word.
