Pope Francis shows us how to be patient...


When Francis ordained a new Bishop,
"in his homily, the pope asked him to be patient with priests, seminarians, the poor and laypeople who come to him looking for assistance and counsel. 'Many times you will need a lot of patience,' the pope said, 'but the kingdom of God is built that way.'"

If the Kingdom of God is built through patience, how fortunate we are to have this example of patience from Francis.

Just a few weeks ago, Francis was overheard screaming at staff.  Kingdom building.  Mercy.  Love.

Where's the mercy for the person (I read it was a child) who reached out to Francis? That's mercy? A Pope screaming at a child?

Patience is a virtue! But Pope Francis has forgotten to apply that moment...am disappointed! Keep calm anyway!

Bergoglio is a flaming hypocrite. Christ told us to beware of false teachers, bad trees we would know by the rotten fruit they produce.

Francis condemns Trump but loves the murderous Castro brothers and their Satanic socialist regime:
