IT'S NOT ILLNESS HE SAID ALL RELIGION IS A PATH TO GOD THAT IS HERACEY!! JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN ✝️

[hopemorrow]

He teaches another gospel by telling people that all roads lead to God, that in fact would make Christ our Lord a liar.

Jesus said,  “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." What Pope Francis had said is absolutely false. Pope Francis need to repent and resign.

[markinohio]

He should have never been pope. I wish him well but he should resign.

[buffalobill]

I hope the Pope asks for forgiveness and turns to Christ before his time is up.

Repent

False religion

False teaching

What's with the wheelchair?
When someone is old and needs to be pushed around it is time for them to pass the baton to someone healthy enough to do the job.

The RCC worships an impotent Christ. I love and worship the Jesus of scripture that accomplished my salvation with one sacrafice, never needing to be repeated!

I no longer live, because I abide in Him. Thank you Father fir your Son, my elder beloved brother!

[UltraHeatSeeker]

I pray to God that he is stricken with deep DEEP remorse for the role HIS church has played in child abuse and assault. Jesus is coming to judge us all how do you think he will see the Roman Catholic church? He will say begone from me you workers of INEQUITY I never knew you. Search your own heart and know this to be true.

Just have him fly out to meet Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania next week... Then double the number of away games for NBA teams.

[kamielbuize]

Good we don't need hem here. No religion no war no extremists.

[JayaseelanPatchy]

The Gospel Truth is even the Pope is not guaranteed eternal life and salvation in Christ Jesus . JOHN 3:16 Only Christ can forgive your sins and give you eternal life

Any day now ABC will apologize for saying Hunter's laptop was Russian Disinformation. 😂😂

[MARYAM]

i pray it intensifies
or hes just hiding at home like a coward

[premro]

This pope must step down. He is a people pleaser and not god pleaser. Like a chameleon says different things in different places. Useless pope. Step down.

[premro]

This pope is a wolf in sheep clothing. Says all religions lead to god. What a hypocrite. It’s blasphemy. Disgrace.
