The Pope might be a good person who wants to help, but he remains a dependent child pretending to be an adult—playing the role of a father figure to others. If he were a free soul, he would leave the cult or emotional prison of the Catholic Church. Free, autonomous people do not join or belong to cults. He embodies a seductive illusion; the only assistance he can offer is to entice you into joining and remaining trapped in his cult.
Yes, the Pope is wrong. I agree with the article’s author: Pope Francis is wrong. Religion deserves ridicule. The Pope’s words in the quote below reveal a window into his psyche and how he remains a scared little boy, pretending to be grown up. He casts himself as a father figure over others to manage the repressed fears from his own childhood. So mothers and religion—standing in as substitute parental figures dictating what to do, just as their mothers once did when they were children—can’t be criticized?!
The idealization of his mother and of religion—a substitute mother figure—keeps him and his followers stuck in childhood. They either play the role of the child or adopt personas as parental figures. If his mother had truly loved him, he would not have joined a cult and worn the “cloth of love” she gave him as a boy. He fools the followers of the Catholic cult just as his mother once did when he was defenseless. As a child, he could not see through her illusion of love. But as an adult, he could gather the courage to abandon this illusion, become authentic, and stop deceiving himself and his followers.
*“If my good friend Dr. Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch,” Francis said, throwing a pretend punch. “It’s normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.”* —Pope Francis

**Facebook comments from the shared post:**
**John Wilwerding:** Yes, the Christian Creator tolerates much under the theological belief that humans are granted free will—including ridicule and rejection of the Master himself. Many faith leaders forget this paradoxical truth.
**Chris Wilson:** The Xtian fairy tale does not grant free will, though. An eternity in hell awaits anyone who disobeys Sky Dad. Meanwhile, their holy book of fairy tales credits Sky Dad with acts of mass slaughter that would leave Lawrence Bittaker priapic for weeks.
**David Einav:** If someone is 100% certain of their beliefs and truth, they shouldn’t fear criticism. Religious people’s fear of ridicule reveals their lack of confidence in their faith!
**Monica Chelagat:** In theory, I agree. But the ISIS threat is real. The Pope is addressing them too. Religion aside, the Vatican’s artistic and historical value is priceless! Once you realize fanaticism is synonymous with madness, mocking becomes stupid—not an act of free expression. Dealing with religious extremists requires intelligence, not provocation.
**Sylvie Imelda Shene:** The ISIS threat is real, as are the psychopaths from the West. Western psychopaths enabled groups like ISIS to flourish, giving them excuses to wage war and satisfy their bloodlust. The bomb in people’s minds can be triggered anytime, leading to violence regardless of actions. By that logic, publishing my book provoked the sociopaths at my job—perhaps I shouldn’t have written it. Then I’d still have my job, and they wouldn’t have tried to murder my soul to discredit me, preserving their lies.
