Italian Cardinal Says That if Catholics Don’t Like Francis, They Can Become Protestant

How about if WE stay Catholic and HE becomes a protestant!?

'There are too many people talking about the Pope,' said Cardinal Bassetti, President of the Italian Bishops' Conference, when he met media representatives.
 

Edit: I’d have thought approving of this Pope was something Protestants were likely to do. Would Protestants welcome traditionalist Catholics like they welcome unrepentant sodomites?

"If someone does not like the Pope, he should be allowed to say it because he can go other ways," said Gualtiero Cardinal Bassetti, President of the Italian Bishops' Conference, during a meeting with media representatives in Perugia on January 25.

 

"There are too many people talking about the Pope," Bassetti said of the growing discontent with Pope Francis among Catholics.  He told someone to go to the Protestants if he didn't like the Catholic Church.  They would have neither a pope nor a bishop.  Everyone can make their own decisions.” "Enough complaining.  It doesn't help anyway,” he said.
 

Cardinal Bassetti (77) is Archbishop of Perugia-Città della Pieve (Italy).  Pope Francis made him cardinal in 2014.  He has been the President of the Italian Episcopal Conference since 2017.
 

It is not clear who Bassetti specifically meant by his outburst described by Italian media.  Il Messaggero suspected that the displeasure of many Italians with Pope Francis' stance on immigration could have triggered the cardinal's acrimony.  At the media meeting, Bassetti presented the program for the Mediterranean initiative "Mediterranean: Border of Peace" organized by the Italian Episcopal Conference, which will take place in Bari from September 19 to 23

  1. I would suggest the only reason the Orthodox Catholic world is talking about PF is because he is a visible usurper of the PO, a formal & material heretic, idolator, a dissenter from Catholic Doctrine, does not uphold the Deposit of Faith but relinquishes it to Communists, LGBTQI & political activists of all hues. When he is denounced along with all his appointees we shall be quiet.

  2. February 3, 2020 The Southern Poverty Law Center, Associated Press, Reuters and the rest of the Left accuse traditionalists of not accepting 'the reforms of Vatican Council II'. They mean Vatican Council II interpreted with the false premise, inference and conclusion. They do not refer to Vatican Council II interpreted with a rational premise and inference creating a traditional conclusion. So this is false information on the Council from them.A correction and a clarification is needed.https://eucharistandmission.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-southern-poverty-law-center.html

  3. For an increasing number of Catholics, this papacy is turning out to be a little too much like riding with Kurgan in "The Highlander" movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuS2JDtwPXY

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. 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.
