From his latest tweet, I hear Fr James Martin S.J is on a week's holiday. I wonder which Pride Festival he is attending on his break.

Speaking of which, Vanity Fair has an interesting article on the now-infamous gay lobby in this month's edition:

"authoritarian"
"elitist"
"ostentatious"

He set my radar off from the first moment he appeared on the balcony. Something is seriously amiss. The name calling alone is unworthy of the office.
Not only not absurdly PC, but false, and showing great insensitivity towards those Christians in the Middle East, Pakistan, and now Africa, who are being daily persecuted and murdered.
If the latter, then the following has to be a bit of a classic:
"Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia"

I do hope he doesn't have first-hand experience of these vices.
i may be wrong so please someone refer me to a passage.
There is no such passage. I would be happy if he just said “go and sin no more”. But seemingly this “call to action” is not modern(istic).
A trendy message is this:
Francis' message to university students: "YOU MUST LIVE, NOT JUST EXIST"
You must not be spectators but protagonists” in the “challenges” the modern world throws at you. Don’t be mediocre, bored or like everyone else. “You can’t live without facing challenges,” “don’t stand on the sidelines; fight for dignity and against poverty.” This is the lifestyle Francis advised young people to lead, in the first meeting with university students since the start of his pontificate. (…)“Please don’t look at life from the sidelines, go an immerse yourself in challenges, in life, in development, get involved in the fight for people’s dignity, against poverty, in the defence of values and in so many other struggles we face today,” Francis urged. http://vaticaninsider.lastampa.it/en/the-vatican/detail/articolo/francesco-francis-francisco-30313/
It will be a delight to be able to use so many insults while still avoiding being judgemental.
Also: Lepers, rigid, backward.

Inspiring, no?
that one seemed aimed at his predecessor
I have been puzzling what it could mean. The word Logos makes me think of the opening of St John's Gospel and the identification of the Logos - Word - with Christ. Ideologue means a theorist of some ideology. So "ideologue of the Logos" can just mean a theologian? However in Pope Francis's vocabulary he generally gives a pejorative meaning to "ideologue" as somebody obsessed with some ideology such as Marxism. But how can being obsessed with Christ be bad? Puzzling but perhaps if you could point us to the context it might be clearer?
Pagan!
Maybe Bones should retitle this book, "Francis's Little Book of Insults and Head-Scratchers."
http://cnsblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/03/wake-up-the-world-quotable-quotes-from-pope-francis-meeting-with-religious/
Below are a few statements and actions made by Pope Francis during the first week of 2014.
Francis said, "I think about the temptation, that we may have, or many others have, to announce the Gospel with 'inquisitional beatings,' with condemnation. No! The Gospel must be announced with sweetness, with fraternity, with love!”
OK, that's a good statement even though it could be taken to imply that Catholics who have strong morals participate in '"inquisitional beatings" of others.
(What does Francis think of St. Anthony who was known as the hammer of heretics or John the Baptists moral preaching to Herod?)
http://cnsblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/03/wake-up-the-world-quotable-quotes-from-pope-francis-meeting-with-religious/
In the same week Pope Francis told us to announce the Gospel with "sweetness and love" he said these things about faithful Catholics.
"Seminarians who grit their teeth and wait to finish, follow rules and smile reveal the hypocrisy of clericalism - one of the worst evils!"
"Religious need to wake up to the world or risk becoming "abstract ideologues or fundamentalists."
About seminarians "You have to form the heart, or we will make little monsters. And then, these little monsters form the people of God."
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-warns-priests-can-become-little-monsters-if-they-are-not-trained-properly-9037708.html
So Francis accuses others of participating in "inquisitional beatings" on the same day he calls Catholics who follow the rules hypocrites and evil.
He calls other Catholics "abstract ideologues or fundamentalists" and says other Catholics are "little monsters."
In the same week Francis tells us to announce the Gospel with "sweetness and love" he uses the harshest possible language to describe his fellow Catholics.
Or is Francis telling us we when we speak to others it is "sweetness and love" to accuse them of being "abstract ideologues or fundamentalists," hypocrites," "evil," "little monsters," or that they are responsible for "inquisitional beatings?"
Or is Francis reserving the right to use this critical accusatory language about those he does not like while we are suppose to respond to the culture of death only using sweetness?"
What are we to make of the fact the Vatican has hired one of the worlds leading homosexual promoting corporations to advise them?
http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/engel/140101
Ernst and Young is one of the most effective corporations promoting homosexuality worldwide - and now they are on the Vatican payroll in an absolutely essential and hugely influential position. Adding insult to injury, just a quick review of the policies of the other three advisory firms recently hired by the Vatican to reform its administrative and financial practices reveals a pro-homosexual pattern similar to that of Ernst and Young.
This is a scandal beyond words and Satan must be loving it.
“I’m reminded of those religious who have a heart as sour as vinegar: they are not made for the people." -- from the meeting with religious superiors.
p.s. see, we are not sourpuses after all!

Too bad he didn't say "[Modernist] Promoter of the poison of [vital] immanence!"
But perhaps he meant that…

It would seem that the Pope is a reader of "Tintin"...
Wow! No love for the Pope here. I don't think he is bashing good and holy Catholics, at all. I don't think he is bashing Pope Benedict, either. I think he is trying to get some priests and bishops and the rest of us to recognize the fact that they and we aren't particularly living the Gospel message. If he has to use strong language to do it, then so be it. To understand where he is coming from, you would need to understand all that he has seen and experienced in his lifetime.
I'm living where a Bishop closed a school in a poor area (that was considered a "mission school" to the last bishop) and transformed it into a penthouse for guests, and for himself if he doesn't want to drive 15 minutes to his mansion. Something is very wrong with this picture. Pope Francis has seen men in the priesthood who are living for themselves and not Christ. He is trying to change this. It is a problem.
His comment about gays, - was it anything different than what the Church has always said? I didn't take his "Who am I to judge" comment as a green light for gays to continue their lifestyle and have sex with other men. He said if a gay man loves God and tries to live for God, who is he to judge his attractions. However, I would think at some point he would have to address this topic more thoroughly and in depth.
I just think his entire time as pope will be trying to shake up those in the Church who need shaken.

"older people nostalgic for structures and customs which are no longer life-giving in today’s world..."
"young people addicted to fashion..."
1. Old people who cling to a nostalgia for structures and customs no longer life-giving in today's world.
2. Young people addicted to fashion.
2. It's not a fashion it's the original church.
3. Only a modernist would think in this upside down judgemental inappropriately uneducated on the facts manner.
4. Enough said..
Those who do not have a solid knowledge or upbringing of what is right or wrong transform themselves into modernists. Our Lord's ways and rules are not modern. And they are not redundant.
2. The young that become Traditionals are not touched by the perversion and evilness of the world. They are innocent and pure.
3. Read the bible it could help.
As Cardinal Richelieu famously said "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."
Even the scripture in the Bible is subjected to such misrepresentation by those who wish to distort and criticize its message. If it can be done to that, then it can be done to any man.
Fortunately, those of reasonable intent who truly desire understanding of what is being said can look at the full body of comments and see that these sorts of distortions are off-base.

But the emperor still has no clothes.
He still talks like one...and surely should have remained such...
It is obvious that the man NEVER had a DIVINE vocation...
I do not even see evidence that he has the faith, because for him, seeking applause is ALWAYS more desireable...
A Catholic in mourning...
Incidentally I wonder what the Guild of Blessed Titus Brandsma should do about the attack made on one its members.
Hopefully people aren't too offended by these "insults." They are clearly in keeping with Pope Francis's vision for a more open and engaged church, which I find exciting.
this bloke has a lotta hate for devotion.

also 'no heart', was included. the prophets knew that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.
the way Frankie is using his very own 'holy spirit' against the Church is stuff a person with a wit of supernatural faith, or even reason, would be shaking in their shoes over. 'It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.'

An insult to faithful Jesuits. An open-ended thinking where the smoke of Satan easily penetrates! The saintly Fr. Herdon must be turning in his grave! The teachings of Jesus are incomplete? Tell St. Francis Xavier that, or St. Peter Canisius.
St. Ignatius, pray, pray for this Pope.
But what does the Jorge really say? He says this: "I'm not interested in...Catholicism. I want people to find [themselves] in their own community. Doctrines are disagreeable, let's not spend time on those. Rather let's be about showing love of the first modernist, formerly known as satan.'

"I don’t understand a Christian who is still! A Christian who doesn’t walk, I cannot understand! A Christian must walk! There are Christians that walk, but not in the presence of Jesus."
"...the Argentine Apostate [Bergoglio], in his public and televised address to the Pentecostal Community in Caserta at the end of July, embraced his “brother pastor” and then apologized for the work of countless Catholic martyrs and saints to win back souls from Protestant sects and to stem the spread of their blasphemous heresies in Catholic lands." --- http://christorchaos.com/?q=content/accepting-apostasy-increments-part-four-0
For myself, all I can say is that the ArgentineApostate is an affront to the True Christ Jesus (the one evinced by 2000 years of Real Catholicism) and His True apostles, like St Frances de Sales, and all those who suffered for keeping the True Faith and for daring to preach the True Faith and administer True sacraments under the brutal sword of Protestantism.
From today's Sunday homily:
How should I correct another Christian - said the Pope - when is it not a good thing? Use charity, speak to him personally. " Bergoglio recalled the three stages mentioned in the Gospel, that are to talk alone with the brother giving the offense; if he does not listen, to talk to him again, in front of two or three people; and even if this leads to a good end, inform the community. This is to "make him feel the fracture and detachment that he has caused," a necessary step in the "effort to accompany those who make mistakes so that you do not lose him."

Can somebody get Francis a Bible with that verse highlighted?
http://retrocatholic.com/
Do not forget how early on Pope Francis (no spring chicken himself) referred to Pope Emeritus Benedict the 16t as "grandfather" and "ultimate grandfather". This to his predecessor and one of the greatest theologians of the Catholic Church in centuries. A foreshadowing indeed.
See:http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pope-francis-calls-benedict-xvi-the-ultimate-grandfather-34885/

I'm just a regular guy in the pew, not anxious to complain about the pope. I've never complained about any pope in my life and I'll be 65 in a few days. But it seems like we need to say either JPII and Benedict were horrible and Francis is wonderful or Francis is horrible and the JPII and Benedict were wonderful. All three can't wonderful and all three can't be horrible.

By the teachings of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the heretic Pope automatically excommunicated himself. So, if it was ever a Pope, it is not today.

"By the teachings of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the heretic Pope automatically excommunicated himself. So, if it was ever a Pope, it is not today."
What do you mean, mr. anonymous, with the expression "Holy Roman Catholic Church"?
Do you mean something different from the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and ROMAN APOSTOLIC Church, founded BY and ON Our Lord Jesus Christ, Born by Perfect Virgin Mary?
If you do, you have already admitted with your own words of NOT belonging to the ONLY ONE Church of Jesus Christ.
If you don't, I ask you a second question:
why do you want to sell as teaching of the One, Holy, Catholic and Roman Apostolic Church what has NEVER been taught by Her?
That is the Pope can become heretic, so automatically excommunicating himself and so ceasing to be Pope?
The Church of Jesus Christ, in truth, has NEVER taught that Peter can fall in heresy, so ceasing latae sententiae to be Pope.
Indeed, if She had ever taught such a NEGATION of Word of Her Founder: She would not be the Faithful Bride She is assured to be by Her Divine Bridegroom.
And I remember you the Word of Our Lord Jesus Christ about Peter's faith:
"Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat,
but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22,31-32)
