Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis instead on social justice issues such as the environment and the poor, while also branding as heretical his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried Catholics receive the sacraments.

He’s right. And they value money over people more than anything, support selfishness, greed, ambition for more material possessions, down trodding the poor and homeless, blaming them instead of helping.
It is easier for a poor person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than it is for a rich person. Well, you don’t have to be rich but you can behave like a rich person that’s morally bankrupt.
Set an example. Care for the poor, the down trodden, children, elderly and sick. It take a community. The United States conservatives forgot what the word community meant and altruism.
