In reply to the discussion: Pope Francis is scaring the hell out of conservatives. Here’s the real reason why [View all]47of74
(18,470 posts)40. There's a local teabagger here who had some "words of wisdom" on Francis
We have this local loud mouth teabagger where I live. He hates the Pope because Francis is the slightest bit progressive. Check out some of these
words of wisdom
he decided to grace us with in the comments to this letter;
Nothing nobel or just about this imposter.
The pope is a man and not God; he is not even a representative of God on Earth as no representative of God would associate with the likes of the godless castro brothers who to this day enslave the people of Cuba.
The representative of God here on earth would condemn Islam the religion of death vowed to destroy all infidels (thats Christians the followers of the teachings of Christ).
The representative of God here on earth would never promote socialism.
