Blog defending Pope Francis

Any Catholics here have probably noticed that right-wing Catholics are in full attack mode on Pope Francis, especially online where there has been a proliferation of anti-Francis websites and blogs.

Where Peter Is is a blog dedicated to defending the Holy Father from attacks by some members of the so-called "traditionalist" Catholic subculture as well as other right-wing Catholics.

I highly recommend Where Peter Is as a resource for combating misinformation about the Holy Father.

Insisted that we had to go along with everything the pope said or did. Hypocrisy, thy name is "traditionalist Catholic".

And both Popes bent over backwards to accommodate these people, but they would never be satisfied.

Those right leaning hateful Catholics sold their souls to the repubs as part of the Christian right a long time ago. It appears that other Christian repubs don't accept Catholics. I saw the other day where a pastor at a SC Baptist Church is removing a statue of Jesus because it is looks too Catholic. So folks still do not like Catholics just like they always have. They do not believe in the Pope.
