Is the Pope Catholic?

On his blog, entitled GoThereFor dot com, Mark Gilbert recently wrote the following.... 'In Australia, we have a saying we use when someone asks something blindingly obvious: “Is the Pope Catholic?” The assumption is of course he is!

On 31 October of this year, Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) will take part in in an ecumenical service with the World Federation of Lutheran Churches. It marks a year of celebrations to commemorate 500 years since Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the castle church in Wittenberg. As I mentioned in a previous article, when commenting on this event, Pope Francis said, “And today Lutherans and Catholics, Protestants, all of us agree on the doctrine of justification”. When he makes comments like this, he shows himself to be entirely Catholic, which is, after all, what you would expect.'

On the broadcast today I will discuss this article.
