Brother Copeland Reveals Pope Francis Speaks in Tongues and is a Bible Believing Christian
The pope is a marxist. It's the culture he grew up in, and it is what he relates to the gospel. Period. Don't know if that is "bible believing", but his radical views should give one pause. He comes across, no matter how well meaning, as a marxist demagogue. It's what he sleeps, lives, and breathes. He needs to stop lecturing the world about the "less than", and raise up an army of warriors who can fight the spiritual darkness in the lives of the "less than", so they don't have to depend on the government to provide for them. Good grief this is just the gospel 101.
He could be a Charismatic even so. Political views dont necessarily carry all the connotations they typically do in the US or even in Europe when talking about people from the rest of the world. A self proclaimed communist from India might be very different to what you would think.

i take copeland with a HUGE grain of salt....
Disagree. Marxism, at it's root, is simply politically-contextualized, covetousness. "Da man" has something you want, and you'll use the law of the land to get it, all under this humble guise of goodness. That is precisely why the fruit of Marxism is so rotten.
Any Christian leader that does not understand this very simple concept has not had his or her mind renewed.
The pope has made many questionable statements about many things.
When I got saved, my politics changed almost overnight.
So I could not care less if he speaks in tongues or not, in other words.

I find his being a traditional Catholic more questionable than his political views. But then he has to be, to function as pope. I found his predecessor a total joke, and that was before the rumor that he retired because he was part of a homosexual ring in the vatican.
I don't think that carries much weight as long as he still believes the Catholic way of salvation. Hey, I even once knew a Catholic Charismatic who prayed in tongues because "it brings me closer to Mary."
Romans828 (03-28-2016)
In my mind, Pope Francis is an exemplary Christian who understands very well the proper role of the state, in terms of protecting the weak from the strong, and in terms of protecting the environment from private interests. His beliefs on these matters are consistent with those of previous popes, but he's been more forceful than others in stating his beliefs.
