Pope must not be involved in politics

​@@donlen7199 well the Pope is an elected monarch, and head of the Vatican state or its king..so still, he's a politician by right serving the best interest of the Latin Church not just in the Vatican but also anywhere in the world with Roman Catholic churches.

Yet Pope Francis is not fond of American Catholics! He is extremely liberal! He has defrocked American priests who are staunchly pro life! He allows Catholic politicians to receive the Eucharist who support abortion to the end of the 3rd trimester including Joe Biden!!!! God wanted this man to be pope? Nope!

Hindi dapat nakikialam sa politika ang magiging pope. Dapat sa pananampalataya lang.

​​​@@donlen7199 You know, the Pope is a head of state as well as the vicar of Christ, right? Also, morality plays a big role in politics. Name one apolitical pope! Let it be known that I do empathize with your concern that a pope shouldn't place the art of politics above the core of his faith. That said, it's pretty naive to expect nothing political from him. The Church should not bend to the politics of the outside world (in either direction), but The Truth within the Church illuminates the entire field of politics, on a wide range of issues, from unjust wars to abortion to workers rights to climate change to gender politics. The Truth will have its say, and it falls into neither popular camp.

Completely agree along this perspective of vested self-interest and lack of humility.

I disagree, the way Francis is dictating his rule, a Holy man trying to right the ship is perhaps what we need…

Then you are blind to the politics that exist within the church. The world isn't stubenville. In reality you have to blend faith and reason. So it logical that there will be a active discussion and healthy debate. It is a good thing that we have cardinals that want to be pope. It is pseudo-holier-than-thou religiously that bars active discussion. Yes you should be guided by the holy spirit but that then you still need to act.

@@tjgetz7052 Tha act of which you speak of is against evil, plain and simple. Not reforming the church or modernizing it to be queer but a return to traditional moral common sense values. It’s that simple, along with not overspending like our own government.

@gabeeaglesland1378 , even Jesus didn't build the early church with prayer alone-he engaged in politics. The Apostles were involved in politics, our beloved st pope jp2 was elected pope based on deal brokered in the curia-but now we are just supposed to follow Martin luther' s doctrine and base decisions on personal divine revelation- what are you talking about? What's evil about position?

Erdo would be great for that.

Church won't be revived by pope, it's the Christians to revive it

Schonborn can't do that. He will make the Roman mass like the Anglican one. For evangelisation he recommended the Agape program. As a cardinal and student of Professor Ratzinger he is more than qualified to prepare his own program. Enough said.

My friend the world needs a Pope who can revive the Church.

Like before? We've had bad popes before as we have in modern times. It is a VERY political process, unfortunately.

Where was the Holy Spirit when Francis was elected? Just trying to come to grips with your reasoning...

@@geoffkiernan572 always been here; The Holy Spirit does it's will not yours

The Holy Ghost gives us the pope we deserve.

We pray that holy spirit will give us a pope who will follow up the God's commandments and deliver what God wants but not what the worldly leaders are yearnings for to conquer the whole world like the gender issues among same sex

Exacto son los señores cardenales y no los laicos quien eligen a futuro obispo de Roma y Jefe del estado del Vaticano. Gracias y bendito sea Dios!

Its not always the case, Popes Benedict and Francis are recent examples.

​@@uncommon_name9337 did you get the meaning? Whetr pope Bergoglio and Retzinger expected to be the next popes? I dont thonl so...

@@uncommon_name9337 Benedict and Francis were in alleged states of panic upon their election. Both were considered popular candidates, but in comparison to the rest of the Cardinals elevated by St. John Paul II they were dark horses for the papal office. Both show and have shown immense humility and desire to maintain the unity of the Catholic faith.

Unless the Freemasons support him ...then he gets the Chair, "one way or the other"....🤫

Agreed, God Bless Pope Francis 🙏

Hosea 4:9 And what the priests do, the people also do.’ So now I will punish both priests and people for their wicked deeds. Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end? Hosea 6:9 New Living Translation (NLT) Priests form bands of robbers, waiting in ambush for their victims. They murder travelers along the road and practice every kind of sin. Jeremiah 6:13 “For from the least to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely. 1 Samuel 2 31 The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age, 32 and you will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age. 33 Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. 34 “‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you-they will both die on the same day. 35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed one always. 36 Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread and plead, “Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat.” Leviticus 26:31 I will leave your sanctuaries desolate. Acts 7:48 The Most High dwells not in places of worship made by human hands.

God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit have absolutely nothing to do with any religion nor any man made religious congregations/preachers. You all need to wake up from your dead sleep.

@@1_John_2_27 Then you obviously know the words of Jesus Christ very poorly since it was he who established the Church.

i agree with cardinalErdo

Because he’s Hungarian and Hungary is Poland’s best friend (JPII’s Native Country)

I don't think they are looking for a successor to John Paul II. They will chose someone to reinforce the direction of Pope Francis.

Is there any history education in Philippines ? I don't see. Did God grant Pius XII ? Hitler's Pope.

stupid god of yours

when will be a Black pope ?

or the Devil

@@brogsbunnywhat devil?

Well said. A difficult situation in a liberal Pope.....very slippery slope that can threaten or erode orthodoxy, conservative principles, and traditional meanings in the Catholic faith. Numbers have it that voting Cardinals appointed by Pope Francis could be at least 75% to 80%. One should see clearly how very liberal instructions issued by Pope Francis result in manifestos and opinions of direct opposition from priests and bishops. Unrests like that might not be different even if liberal directives should come from a synod with a majority of liberal Cardinals. The conservatives may be the voice in the mountains that the traditional faithful will listen to and follow.

That’s not happening.

@@BigLar-pp6ej Please elaborate what is not happening. Thanks

Asian be the Pope, of course, intelligent American and European be atheist for science, dump religion for 3rd world.

It will likely be Cardinal Tagle. He got the most votes after Pope Francis the last time. The same thing happened during the conclave of Pope Benedict, Card. Bergoglio(now Pope Francis) got the 2nd highest votes. But only the Holy Spirit knows who's best !!

We need a pope who can continue to lead the Church of Christ into the next millennium not drag it back to the Medieval Era.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@alexandergroppe448Why must we eliminate beauty and from our mass? Why not keep our sacred tradition, our heritage? One of the three main pillars of our church! Our God deserves all our efforts to worship Him with utmost reverence and glory and beauty.

⁠@@alexandergroppe448Saying The Holy Mass in Latin Does NOT Qualify as a “Point” That it WILL “Drag The Church Back to the Medieval Era” On the Contrary Giving Churches the CHOICE of Celebrating Mass in Latin AND It’s Native Languages is NO Different Than Churches Here in the USA Celebrating Mass in English AND the Language of the Area Such as Spanish or My Parish Which Celebrates Mass in English AND Polish Here in Boston ! Plus MANY People Have a Sense of HIGH Reverence During a Latin Mass as Latin Has Been Taught to Seminarians for Centuries ! Would You also Do Away With the BOTH Beautiful and Highly Reverent Gregorian Chant ? Giving The Faithful the Opportunity to Attend Either a Latin or the Country’s Native Language Mass Will IMHO Only Serve to Draw MORE People/Souls Back to Christ ✝️♥️♥️♥️🙏

No we need a pope who loves the Mass whether traditional or NO- THE MASS IS THE MASS

​@@allanramusiewicz996 I do sense that the next Pope will strive with God's help, to make the needed corrections of what have become a number of "errors" that have been committed by this present Papacy.

The Lord will provide us whoever the next pope is, i want it to be cardinal Tagle but the Lord is te only one who knows who is next in line.

Parolin is only 2 years older than Tagle… But secretaries of state are rarely elected as they are often controversial for one reason or another

Go and tell that to the cardinals who are electing him, pretty much like the Electoral College in the US.

The Patriarch of Constantinople would be a good Patriarch in Rome as well.

I'd like him very much too, he would be the best Pope I could imagine, but I think he's some sort of jubilated cardinal.

@jeannehall6546 how about cardinal Muller?

@@winall9 Müller? Maybe. But I don’t think he’s really in contention. Here’s a modest proposal: how about someone like Lenny Belardo, a.k.a. Pope Pius XIII from “The Young Pope” which starred Jude Law. In that series A young cardinal from New York, Lenny Belardo, becomes pope of the Catholic Church when the leading contenders of the Papal conclave fail to win election. Installed as a compromise candidate, Belardo takes the name of Pius XIII and immediately proceeds to challenge the established traditions and practices of the Vatican. In one of his first acts, he decrees that common people are not worthy to gaze upon the Pope's face and appears to a crowd in St. Peter's Square shrouded in darkness. Next, during a meeting with the Cardinal Secretary of State, the Pope states he will now become directly involved in the political affairs of the Vatican, effectively assuming control of the Secretariat of State of the Holy See. Alarmed by his radical changes to the church, several senior cardinals begin a plan to try and control the Pope and assuage him from even more dangerous ideas to the church. In response, the Pope installs Sister Mary, the nun who raised him in an orphanage, to serve as his chief adviser and publicly denounces several cardinals. He likewise threatens to confiscate all the property of various religious orders, in particular the Franciscans, if they do not accept his unquestioned leadership. Following this, the Pope directs that the Papal tiara be removed from a museum and returned to the Vatican as his personal crown. In a last ditch effort to rein in the Pope, the cardinals arrange a meeting with the Prime Minister of Italy who is subsequently bullied by the Pope and threatened with an archaic papal procedure allowing the Church to direct Italians for who they should cast their votes in local elections.

@@jeannehall6546 He can't vote in the conclave - but he CAN be elected pope. There is no age restriction on that. Although, personally, I think a younger one would be better.
