NEW YORK – “Is the pope Catholic?” goes the quip most Catholic faithful thought they would never ask … at least not seriously.
But with a series of recent pronouncements and decisions bucking
papal tradition, Pope Francis has many Catholics wondering if the
Catholic Church will survive his papacy.
In recent days, the Pope has declared that non-believers – not just
non-Catholics, but even atheists – can gain salvation and be admitted
into heaven, while his new appointment to be secretary of State, the
second most important position in the Vatican, has suggested the Vatican
is ready to rethink celibacy and the clergy, suggesting priests and
nuns might be allowed to get married.
Now, Catholic faithful are asking, “Will the Catholic Church survive Pope Francis’ papacy?”
