I clicked on the article hoping that The media was spinning his words rather than Francis spinning words. I thought MAYBE he's calling out the media's new fake news agenda for being truly fake and suppressing the real truth - therefore a sin. I was Wrong.

This quote did it for me:
“I think the media have to be very clear, very transparent, and not fall into - no offence intended - the sickness of coprophilia (obsession with excrement), that is, always wanting to cover scandals, covering nasty things, even if they are true,” he said.

I'm a Catholic -and not a cafeteria one. So I know that I'm not supposed to speak negatively about the Pope, but I'm starting to think that Bergoglio is not the true Pope. I'm starting to believe that the one world order illuminati people forced Pope Benedict out. At first I thought it was conspiracy, but now, after that quote, I believe it. I am now convinced that Pope Benedict is still the true pope and Bergiglio is a puppet of the one world order.

They are all fake Christians so really, it doesn't mean anything to them.

There have been many popes. If you're a true believer you must know that some of them are in hell

I don't remember that being taught in my Catholic school, but I was a terrible student. Every leader, Pope included, needs to be challenged.

I'm Catholic also (not hugely devout), but I'm not a big fan of the current pope. He's a straight-up socialist. He needs to STFU about economic policies and stick to the religious stuff.

Francis is a wonderful pope and is consistent with catholic social teaching.

The Pope has different political views from mine. He isn't the real pope.

It would be far more valuable if the legit news warned us about the fake Pope.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm not being a jerk about it. He talks of social justice but is ok with silencing truth seekers on the pedophile ring. Where's the social justice in that? All we want is an investigation. It's not political at all.

What kind of Pope says truth should be silenced if it's scandalous truth?

That is basically what he said in the quote.

As a Catholic you can say or think anything you want about the pope. I'm Catholic and not a big fan of our current one! As a Catholic you are not supposed to publicly argue against Church doctrine. You may privately disagree with it and argue it with your priest, bishop, cardinal, or pope.

Doctrine wise discouraging bearing false witness and spreading lies is sound.
None of that determines if an individual story is true to false!

The headline of the article:

quote:

Pope Warns Media Over ‘Sin’ Of Spreading Fake News


and the pope's comments are incongruous. The pope's comment are perfectly acceptable in the context of the commandment "Thou shall not lie."

The Huffington Post reporter is taking liberty with the pope's comments in the context of "fake news". "Fake news" is a brand new phenomenon in America. I would bet the pope has zero knowledge of "fake news" in America.

That is very dishonest, sinful and very fake newsish of the reporter.

I read the article. I don't see what's controversial about what he said. What I do think is terrible is the way HuffPo spun it.

List for me the human beings who shouldn't have a political view.
Hint: don't put Jesus on the top!
