Is the Pope Catholic?

Only a few years ago, that was a humorous punchline.  Today......well.....

On January 12, reports began surfacing on Twitter that Lilianne Ploumen, former Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation in the Netherlands, was honored by Pope Francis with the title of Commander in the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great.  The Lepanto Institute was able to confirm from a December 22, 2017 Dutch radio broadcast that Ploumen indeed received the honor. ...

I happen to know three US KCSG's (all deceased now).   The Pope has just peed on their graves.

...To say that Lilianne Ploumen is “pro-abortion” is an extreme understatement and doesn’t even come close to the scandalous reality of her activism....a few days ago, Ploumen was awarded the Machiavelli Prize “for her campaign for the safe abortion fund SheDecides.”...from 2004-2007, Ploumen was the Director of Programs and on the Board of Directors for CORDAID, the Dutch Catholic aid relief agency that was caught funding Planned Parenthood and dispensing contraception....In February of 2010, Ploumen called on LGBT activists to descend upon and disrupt Mass at St. John the Baptist Cathedral, wearing pink triangles with the words “Jesus excludes no one.” The reason?  She and other pro-LGBT activists were protesting the Church’s moral teaching regarding homosexuality....

It is not news that this Pope has a very tenuous grasp on certain elements of the Faith.  So in answer to the question in my headline, we can say this:  "Well, the Pope is a Jesuit!"

Pray harder.

This surely does not come to you as a surprise after the Pope fired everyone at Pontifical Academy for Life at the end of 2016? The Pope is finally getting arround to promoting child murder.

No, Frances does not seem very Catholic.
