Pope Denounces Buchanan and Palin for Questioning his Agenda
by Alex Kuzio November 17th 2013 http://www.newslo.com/pope/
VATICAN CITY Pope Francis today denounced conservative icons Pat Buchanan and Sarah Palin, calling their recent objections to his leadership style confusing, hypocritical and borderline-heresy. The pontiffwho was elected to lead the Roman Catholic Church in Marchcomplained that Buchanan and Palin should look into their own hearts before questioning his actions, and suggested that they are simply jealous, having repeatedly failed to be elected to high office themselves.
Francis, formally a Cardinal from Argentina, was responding chiefly to an article published on Townhall.com Friday in which Buchanana longtime soldier in the so-called culture warswrote that the pope was wrong to move the Catholic Church to a stance of non-belligerence, if not neutrality, in the culture war for the soul of the West. Buchanan said he believes that unless the Church remains aggressively opposed to abortion and LGBT rightsas it was under Franciss predecessor, Pope Benedict XVIit will lose its moral authority and surrender to relativism.
In a blog post published on the Vaticans website Monday morning, Pope Franciswho has argued that Catholics should embrace members of the LGBT community, relax efforts to convert atheists to Christianity, and stop being obsessed by abortion and gay marriageresponded to Buchanans criticism, writing that the former presidential candidate and aide to Ronald Reagan should reflect on his own opinions before criticizing others. ................
