THE POLITICAL POPE: How Pope Francis Is Delighting the Liberal Left and Abandoning Conservatives

by George Neumayr

Overview

The untold story of the left’s efforts to politicize the Vatican and the battle to stop it-before the Catholic Church as we know it is destroyed.

Pope Francis is the most liberal pope in the history of the Catholic Church. He is not only championing the causes of the global Left, but also undermining centuries-old Catholic teaching and practice. In the words of the late radical Tom Hayden, his election was “more miraculous, if you will, than the rise of Barack Obama in 2008.” …

But to Catholics in the pews, his pontificate is a source of alienation.
