Of course not, but he is bringing people back to his church who had quit in disgust over it's outmoded social philosophy, meanwhile, American Christian churches are just not replacing their rapidly aging and dying followers as all the fear, negativity and politics is a real turn-off for a lot of people. You have no one to blame but yourselves as the influence of the christian right continues to wane.I'm Baptist. The pope is not my authority, any more than you are.The Christian churches in America should take a clue from our current Pope. Quit acting like a bunch of angry bigots and return to the benevolent roots of Christianity. We all know the seven deadly sins but there is an opposing list of virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, courage, faith, hope and charity. I see nothing in there that allows for the flood of negativity and fear that comes from the christian right.The way the Christian church is going in America it won't be long before they are gone. Same as Unions, quite interesting.
