David Gibson thinks the beef with Pope Francis is over weather and the money?


Among conservatives, the drop-off has been especially sharp: Just 45 percent view Francis favorably today, as opposed to 72 percent a year ago.

"This decline may be attributable to the pope's denouncing of 'the idolatry of money' and attributing climate change partially to human activity, along with his passionate focus on income inequality -- all issues that are at odds with many conservatives' beliefs," Gallup analyst Art Swift wrote Wednesday when the survey was published.

Is this spin, or do they really think we want people to litter and idolize money?

It's weird.

Do you think it's worth dropping a dime and telling him the dust up is about the Holy Father teaching the people we love it's ok to commit adultery and receive sacrilegious Communion?

It's about the people we care about who he's led into the pit?

It's about watching the poor judgments and loss of salvation, knowing he knows and sees the consequences and then watching him drag the universe further into the Jesuit rabbit hole?

Wearing a commie crucifix and talk about the weather is fodder for lively blog posts but it does not even make our radar of concern and disapproval. Nobody is losing sleep about the socialism and communism he is advancing from the Chair of Peter. That will only lead to slavery, starvation, homelessness and the spilling of our blood in the streets. And the obsession of turning the papacy into the department of environmental protection wouldn't get any traction with us on it's own merits.

We are people who care about nothing else but salvation. In the most powerful hours of the devil's harvest in two millennia, he has dragged priests onto his soapbox to speak for him who are telling Catholics the hour has come to sleep around.

He's broken into our homes and families and dragged the people we worked hard to protect from agenda of demoralization and he has loaded them on their train while telling them it is ok. It has the potential to be irreversible. It has the potential to affect generations in our bloodline.

That is why our blood is boiling.
