Better to be an atheist than a hypocritical Catholic, says Pope Francis
Published February 23, 2017 9:13pm
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis delivered another criticism of some members of his own Church on Thursday, suggesting it is better to be an atheist than one of "many" Catholics who he said lead a hypocritical double life.
In improvised comments in the sermon of his private morning Mass in his residence, he said: "It is a scandal to say one thing and do another. That is a double life."
"There are those who say 'I am very Catholic, I always go to Mass, I belong to this and that association'," the head of the 1.2 billion-member Roman Catholic Church said, according to a Vatican Radio transcript.
He said that some of these people should also say "'my life is not Christian, I don't pay my employees proper salaries, I exploit people, I do dirty business, I launder money, [I lead] a double life'."
"There are many Catholics who are like this and they cause scandal," he said. "How many times have we all heard people say 'if that person is a Catholic, it is better to be an atheist'."
Since his election in 2013, Francis has often told Catholics, both priests and lay people, to practice what their religion preaches.
In his often impromptu sermons, he has condemned sexual abuse of children by priests as being tantamount to a "Satanic Mass", said Catholics in the mafia excommunicate themselves, and told his own cardinals to not act as if they were "princes."
Less than two months after his election, he said Christians should see atheists as good people if they do good.

This is the Pope's message to hypocrites like ElCid a.k.a. ElPsycho. Defending Catholicism by showing the world how much of an a-sshole he is.
the hypocrite is the one who claim that agnostics/atheist are humane, more moral, more logical and rational when the fact is mandurugas lang sila tulad mo din na atheist mass murderer apologist
Do you dream about me somoron the mouth of moron? Nag change ka ng profile? Sapul na sapul ba somoron the mouth of moron?
Magkampi pa kayo ni Aida pilitin mo. Si Aida naman pandidirihan ka dahil wala ka namang Dios. Yung may relihiyon nga tingin ni Aida kay satanas eh ikaw pang m0r0n na di alam kung maniniwala o hindi na may Dios? Hahahanp din lang ng kakampi si Aida pa? 0 -

I hate to burst your bubble but The Pope didn't say that. Here is what Pope Francis actually said.
How many times have we heard all of us, around the neighborhood and elsewhere but to be a Catholic like that, its better to be an atheist. It is that, scandal.
I can't believe that people around the world still interprets someone else's words out of context. And it is still pretty difficult to believe how gullible mainstream media are to report something that is out of context just like this one.0 -

Not anymore. The pope has spoken. Atheists like me are now on the rise in the view of the pope.
I suspect that the pope is a secret atheist. He has talked about atheism so many times in so positive slant. Weird for the head of theism to act like that.0 -

It is a weird thing to say. Atheists reject the Holy Spirit and, that alone, results to automatic Unforgiveable Sin. So, how can anything be better than that? Backsliding or scandalous Catholics can simply go to confession and become pure again, as pure as driven snow in two hours tops.
The pope is talking and acting weirdly. I can interpret and enforce the doctrines better than how he is doing now.0 -

Again, Pope Francis was taken out of context....put it in context and you'll understand his message....0 -

Fellow disbelievers, dont let this flatter you. Akala yata ng Pope nila eh taponan lang tayo ng mga psychopaths and hypocrites nila tulad ni ElCid.
DEAR POPE, THANKS BUT NO THANKS!
We dont want people like ElPsycho!
PLEASE TOSS YOUR GARBAGE SOMEWHRE ELSE! 0 -

tama naman talaga sinabi ng pope, kasi iyong mga hypocritical Catholics alam na nila dapat kung ano ang tama, tapos mali pa din ang ginagawa, eh iyong mga Atheist, asa mali kaya natural asa maling landas
so mas masahol talaga iyong mga hypocritical Catholics, pero both of them still mali, that is the bottomline0 -
Leading a double dishonest life is one step closer to being an atheist, the pope says.
Atheists are just slightly better. But the real context of the pope is this - both are deplorable.0 -

Straight version, bro. Straight si Francis eh. Gay ba hanap mo? Si Benedict yun. Emeritus na ang lokah! Di nakayanan ang intriga.

Di lahat ng popes ay bading.
Hindi naman porke gay si Pope Benedict ay mas masama na siya kesa ke Pope Francis. "Hindi nga nya nakayanan" di ba?
Si Pope Francis belongs to the Jesuit order, pure evil yan kahit na maamo ang mukha niya.:D0
