If you're confused by Pope Francis. You need to hear this .

[@G-MIP]

I also recall Pope Francis saying to the young boy something along the lines of, “Your dad made it a priority that you were raised in the Catholic faith. ... this is an act of faith on his part, and God sees that etc.” Jesus told St. Faustina that every soul at the moment of death is asked three times if you love Him- and the person/soul only need to say yes once.

[@johnflorio3576]

Pope Francis is far less “confusing” in Italian and Spanish. I speak both - and let’s be charitable and say English translation of the pope’s homilies and other addresses are less than accurate.

[@HAL9000-su1mz]

And the MEDIA! Canadian Catholic philosopher Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase "the medium (media) is the message" - it has taken on a life of its own.

[@frankie8648]

You’re right and I AM guilty of forgetting that when he speaks in English he is speaking a foreign language and even though he comes from an Italian speaking family, Italian isn’t his first language. Spanish is his first language and with a regional dialect (at times). I pray for forgiveness for my negative thoughts (at times) about His Holiness Pope Francis✝️

[@HAL9000-su1mz]

Remember that Saint Faustina's Diary was suppressed because of a BAD TRANSLATION! To quote fellow Catholic Yogi Berra, "It aint over until it's over!"

[@Slovakson1]

Great job. Keep it humble!😊😊😊😊

[@erolhosdil3809]

That is somewhat of a fair point. However, all the more reason for the Vatican to hire competent translators.

[@kimperrine]

John, thank you for unapologetically sharing the truth about Pope Francis. Because of you, I started digging more to learn the truth about PF, and now I absolutely love our Pope! You're a great brother! God bless you!

[@Jerome616]

Pope Francis is an interesting pope for our times. In a day and age when what Catholics crave is the pope to loudly stand against the powers of the world, instead we received a Pope almost obsessed with Mercy and Charity for our enemies and for the world. God is frustrating the proud and vengeful, and instead, is training us all in the art of patience and mercy.

[@Humbleservant0707]

Yes! And that Mar Mari Emmanuel is now telling people that Jesus appeared to him and told him the Vatican will fall soon. He speaks about the Pope like he is the anti-Christ. Something is not right about this man. He's got Catholics doubting the church and stirring up more hate for the church.

[@catherinemcdavid1533]

Well, they really would have been frustrated with Jesus when He walked the earth as well.

@@loreman7267 same here he says it like it is he is hated by a lot of people unfortunately one thing I am envious about when it comes to Michael Lofton is he goes to an Eastern Catholic liturgy which of course they call the Divine Liturgy I go to the novus ordo I have no big problem with it but I do like the Eastern liturgies and there are 24 Eastern liturgies including the one that he goes to which is a Byzantine Rite

You made a lot of sense. I've always known that the Pope has been deliberately misinterpreted, but your explanation here throws more light on something deeper. I pray many Trad Catholics who hate the Pope could hear your perspective.

[@ThomasVicenti]

I almost fell for the Antipope Bergoglio nonsense back around 2017. But I quickly started noticing some serious inconsistencies in the Sedevacantists' arguments. They kept calling John Paul II a saint, which couldn't be true if Francis wasn't the Pope. I quickly saw their errors and avoided them. What saddens me is how I have to now carefully screen content that claims to be Catholic before I recommend it to other people. What angers me the most is how EWTN continues to give Raymond Arroyo and his so-called "papal posse" a platform to spew lies and confused faithful Catholics.

[@bluecollarcatholic8173]

I've actually heard the Dissenter Taylor Marshall lie about Pope Saint John Paul II . Just like he lied about Pope Benedict, just like he lies about Pope Francis, and just like he'll lie about our next Pope . It's all about the money.

[@soldierofmary984]

Get answers about the Catholic faith from Catholic Answers. Also Michael Lofton is in defence of the Pope and he provides evidence. Even if we get a future Pope that is not good for our Church, it's not something we should ever worry about because Jesus said the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

[@erolhosdil3809]

@@soldierofmary984 You have lost all credibility.

John, thank you for what you do. Through your videos and explaining as best you could, for us not be so quickly influenced by the negative remarks we hear from others regarding PF, and to research the whole message content directly from the source, wether as Catholics or not. Because of how you explained some things, I now see PF differently and try to understand his messages. I am Catholic and had negative ideas about PF. Note- I used to listen to TM alot too, not anymore.

[@paulmualdeave5063]

Criticism of Pope Francis boils down to him not acting like an Evangelical Protestant. The critic’s theology is effectively Evangelical Protestant and now they have an idea that the pope was s supposed to act like an Evangelical Protestant minister who has the authority to make infallible doctrines that ironically if he used would be taken out of context to show he is a heretic. They show they would not accept anything infallible from him were he to make one. Schism.

[@paulmualdeave5063]

The Bible itself says God hopes hell is empty when it says God hopes everyone would be saved. One hope cannot exist without the other. Hell is empty if all are saved. Hope though isn’t reality, another nuance critics have a hard time understanding.

[@MrMercytres]

If you actually notice that pope, Francis tried to bring the old testimony about how compassion Jesus was even with the prostitute . Eat with the sinners etc. He tried to be compassion to transgenders , homosexual , lesbians . Salvation is for all. They deserved to be blessed . But with no pastoral blessing. It is actually very true. He is trying hard to fit the gospels with this generation . Showing more compassion is actually very important. Let's God do for their conversation

Did you know the Vatican responded to Viganò's 2018 accusations in 2020? No? Me neither. Maybe the problem was that it was a 450-odd-page report, giving detailed evidence of Viganò's duplicity; but all the same, EWTN, Lifesite News, Cdls Burke, et al, had nothing to say about it. That on its own is pretty horrifying.
