An elderly Greek Orthodox priest shouted "Pope, you are a heretic" as Pope Francis was entering the Orthodox Archbishopric in Athens on Saturday and was taken away by police, a reminder of the lingering distrust between the two divided churches.
Video showed the man, who was dressed in black robes and black hat and had a long white beard, shouting the words in Greek outside the building before police bundled him away.

When you are asked if you are (obviously) something or other, a classic response used to be "Is the pope Catholic?" Now it's hard to use that response anymore. I guess "Do bears poop in the woods?" is now the only response.

I think the correct answer is "No, not this time."

Francis the Commie Pope is a heretic. That is the truth no matter if you are Catholic or Orthodox. He is the Anti-Pope.

I often wonder what my grammar school Sisters of Charity teachers would have thought of the current pope.
If the beloved Sister Cordes were still here, she’d likely say of Pope Francis; “If you don’t have anything nice to say about the pope, then it’s best to say nothing at all.”

I am a Catholic and agree that Pope Libtard the First is a heretic.

And that attitude is what got us to where we are today, being supine in the face of evil

I’m sorry to those who honestly follow this faith. The fellow in the position of pope is doing a smashing audition for the role of false prophet spoken of in revelations. He is a mouthpiece for the great Babylon. So glad my mom is in heaven. This joker would have broken her heart.

Well, then the fiery Sister Patricia Maureen would have probably said of the current pope: “He’s more to be pitied than scorned.”
Although, Sister Catherine, who once, in commenting on President Kennedy’s assassination told us, “The English did it,” would probably be more critical of our current “woke” pope.

Yes, the priest is correct.
And now it is our in public that the Pope is a Communist, NOT a Catholic.

Who was taken away by police? The Orthodox priest, or the Pope?

The Orthodox church has a long disagreement with the Catholic church over points of theology, starting with the interpretation of the filioque clause in the Nicene Creed. It's quite abstruse but theologians take it quite seriously.
I miss Pope Benedict.

How I miss Pope John Paul II. The current resident of the Vatican doesn't seem to care about tradition, only what is currently fashionable.

I think what I find most troubling about Bergoglio is his apparent indifference towards Communism as a governmental system in the secular world. It seems to have inclined him to embrace a cultural philosophy of Progressivism, which has predictably clouded his pastoral vision.

Look up the Prophecy of St Malachy.
This is the last pope.

I disagree with the authors that this priest is yelling at Francis because of long-standing division between the Orthodox and the RCC. Instead, he is thinking out loud to Francis what the rest of us are saying behind closed doors and on forums.
