Friends, the preoccupation with “left” vs. “right” is a distraction from what matters: a pope capable of declaring Christ’s Resurrection in a compelling way.

The Church belongs to Jesus Christ, and her only compass is the truth of the Gospel.—Pope Benedict XVI

💪 Fearless Faith: No foe can stand in your way when God is by your side.

Prayers for Cardinal Sarah

The constant worrying about what's "compelling" to atheists and agnostics is a problem. Stop pandering to people who reject Christ unless you put him in some watered down form that they can comprehend.

In all due respect, Bishop, the left wants to destroy God and the church. You're a educated man of God. History gives clear examples.

We didn’t bring ideology into this. Francis did.

As long as he’s right wing

That’s “Right”, we count that.

It matters. A pope that's to the "left" will take the Church farther and farther away from its mission.

So, I heard Cardinal Sarah?

Your Excellency, I think the term ‘left’ for many Catholics simply means progressive modernism; things like relativizing doctrine, anti-family policy, or prioritizing modern worldly culture over the application of doctrine and Tradition, evangelization, and promoting Christian virtue. However, the political terms left and right are, as you say, unhelpful and imprecise. God Bless!
