Holy Cow! WHATS UP WITH THIS POPE?!

40. As a Liberal Democrat I see the huge strides taken by this Pope in just a few months after centuries

of the Church using its power to back Right Wing Fundies. He has launched several attacks on the Far Right in this country. People like Paul Ryan eg, and, as Christ did to those attacking 'sinners', told them to mind their own 'sins' and stop obsessing over women and gays. If you can't see what a blow that is to the Republican Fundy Catholics' who have been able to get away with slamming Democratic Catholics up to now, I can't help you.

And don't forget that half of the US Catholic community ARE Democrats.

I'd love to see our own Democratic Leadership eg, make similar statements about Global Capitalism and Austerity but the only consistent voice I here in our Congress on this issue which is in accord with the Pope's position, is Bernie Sanders who is an Independent.

The ridiculous demands that one man should overturn centuries of backwards religious beliefs in a few months demonstrate exactly what he has spoken about.

Thankfully for Democrats who are Catholics, he has given them a powerful tool finally against the hypocrites in the Republican Party.

Wow, he cares about the poor and considers this issue to one of the most important, he has said when he lectured the Right Wingers here on their 'obsession' with women and gays.
