The devil exists and must be fought, Pope Francis said in a homily in the Vatican on Thursday. "This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil.
    But the devil exists and we must fight against him," the pope told faithful gathered for Mass at St Martha's guesthouse where he resides. "But we are not totally convinced," continued Francis, exhorting Christians to put on "the armour of God: the truth".
    "Life is a militia. The Christian life is a fight, a beautiful fight, because when the lord is victorious in every step of our lives he gives us joy," the Pope said. http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/

Yes, The Devil exists. And it is Francis who believes that there is no Catholic God,
and that God does not exist except in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Giving into the trinitarian heresy that Catholics worship three gods, not one
God in three divine persons.

What does that say about Francis when he says the devil exists but that God does not?

What does that say of someone like you who still "doesn't know" if this antichrist is the Pope or not?

You only look more and more ridiculous with every criticism you make.

What does it say about the caliber of your intellect when you can't discern a tongue-in-cheek criticism?  I do not for one second believe that Francis does not believe in the existence of God.

You guys are bitter to the point of being downright evil.

People who follow Pope Francis need a scorecard to keep track of all the disparate quotes.  He denied a "Catholic God" and he has no doubt the "Devil is real" and he misuses the word "pelagians" while trashing Traditionalists as "pharisees".  He allows a docuмent to be written where ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs are "valued" then he changes it.  

Next time we hear a quote from Pope Francis we should all ask ourselves:  What day is today?  

If he says something wildly modernistic or seems to deride the Catholic Church and Her glory, we should say:  Let's wait and see what he says tomorrow.

He is certainly loose, but as long as he is canonically elected, he is still the pope!

Matthew 23:1-3

"Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,  Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses. All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not."

I guess that you don't believe in a Catholic God nor that God exists then, since you're quoting this passage?

Whatever they shall say ex-cathedra




 "No popes in the history of the Church have ever made ex cathedra errors."

Vatican 1 - Infallible Council


Chapter 2. On the permanence of the primacy of blessed Peter in the Roman pontiffs


    That which our Lord Jesus Christ, the prince of shepherds and great shepherd of the sheep, established in the blessed apostle Peter, for the continual salvation and permanent benefit of the church, must of necessity remain for ever, by Christ's authority, in the church which, founded as it is upon a rock, will stand firm until the end of time  .

    For no one can be in doubt, indeed it was known in every age that the holy and most blessed Peter, prince and head of the apostles, the pillar of faith and the foundation of the catholic church, received the keys of the kingdom from our Lord Jesus Christ, the saviour and redeemer of the human race, and that to this day and for ever he lives and presides and exercises judgment in his successors the bishops of the holy Roman see, which he founded and consecrated with his blood.



And private declaration against the Popes is prohibited Our Lord:


Matthew 18:15-17

"But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.





"St. Jerome - in saying that a heretic departs on his own from the Body of Christ - does not preclude the Church's judgment, especially in so grave a matter as is the deposition of a pope. He refers instead to the nature of that crime, which is such as to cut someone off from the Church on its own and without other censure in addition to it - yet only so long as it should be declared by the Church... So long as he has not become declared to us juridically as an infidel or heretic, be he ever so manifestly heretical according to private judgment, he remains as far as we are concerned a member of the Church and consequently its head. Judgment is required by the Church. It is only then that he ceases to be Pope as far as we are concerned" (Theologian - John of St. Thomas d. 1644 RIP).

What does that say about Francis when he says the devil exists but that God does not?

There can be no devil if there is no God.

Could it be that people of bad will are deliberatly quoting Pope Francis out of context?

Nah. I think it's much more likely that people of bad will use that as an excuse over and over again.
