Populism? Francis Uses Twenty-Two Times the Same Word

In his six-minute text at the June 17 General Audience, Francis used the word “people” twenty-two times.

He sets out to talk about “prayer,” but then loses himself with Moses and his “people.”

For Francis, Moses is in “solidarity with his people,” is “always attached to the people,” never loses “the memory of his people,” does “not forget his people,” does “not deny his people.” Moses is for Francis “a man of the people” who does “not want to make career with his people.”

At least, Francis says that Moses is a “pontifex,” a bridge-builder between God and men, “The pastors are bridges between the people and God.” But then, Francis is the first pope in modern history who cancelled the Pontifex title (“PP” - Papa Pontifex) behind his name.

Francis finishes with the weird statement that “it does you good to become angry but it's not good to condemn.” A mature character knows to avoid both, all the more since anger is one of the seven deadly sins.

...and this article used "the" twelve times while criticizing Pope Francis for using "people" twenty-two times. Edge Studio's script timer estimates GTV's 168 word article would take 56 seconds if read aloud. That's a heck of a lot shorter than Pope Francis' "six-minute text". ;-)

RatRome is consisting of open-obvious anthropoTheists (=antiChristians) - or of people on the level the Jews had 3000 years ago: The brave "people of god", in community singing sentimentalistic songs, with no place for the Trinity or original sin or individual contemplation ...

For Francis, there is no sin except capitalism. He is the most materialistic, envious, evil sob to ever claim to lead the Church. He loves adultery, sodomy, demon worship and nihilism. He is straight from hell.

....."He is straight from hell."? His fellow Argentinians might take umbrage to that description of their country albeit often an apt description.

@Alex A here is a pic of Francis when he was in Argentina. Look at the woman on the right. They all hated and hate this man. He is sodomite filth.

Also this General Audience, “The worst sinners, the wickedest people, the most corrupt leaders, they are children of God…”
Reality check: “In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is not of God...” (1 Jn 3:10).

Anger, as a passion is no sin, it's a natural reaction to negative facts or outcomes, etc. The sin is wrath.... In fact, anger (even wrath) can be virtuous, as righteous indignation, that is, in face of injustice, impiety or other vices. Jesus, at the Temple, for instance, got angry at merchants: righteous indignation. The problem with bergoglian mumbojumbo is not that he fosters anger, but his …More

Pope Francis says Moses [unlike himself] is an example for all Pastors, who are called to build bridges, because he didn't "sell out his people to advance his career."
