Francis Polemicizes Against "Parrot Prayer"

So, we've been doing it wrong for centuries, until Francis sets us straight?

From Gloria.tv

During his April 4 morning homily, Pope Francis attacked those who pray the Our Father for others.

People with problems tell us sometimes to pray, Francis explained, “Yes, yes, I will say two Our Fathers and two Hail Marys." But Francis called this a “parrot prayer” which is “not acceptable.”

As a hazy alternative he proposed a prayer “with the Lord”, “with courage,” and doing “everything I can.”

The pro-mass-immigration Italian president Sergio Mattarella assisted privately at Francis’ Mass.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
