The media has been claiming that Pope Francis is a 'liberal pope.' To them, he is a Pope who is progressive and is seeking to steer the Church to live and think in the ways of the world. The recent news of the Pope's interview where he said the Church needs to focus more on what she is about and not what she is against caused an uproar.The media immediate had what they thought was confirmation that the Pope is indeed a liberal. However, that all changed when the news broke out that a crazy Australian priest named Greg Reynolds was excommunicated.
Reyolds believes all things contrary to Christ and His Catholic Church. He is an advocate for so-called 'same-sex' marriage and even gave Holy Communion to a dog. This priest is for all intent and purposes a 'liberal/progressive' who abused his position to put forward strange ideas.
Pope Francis excommunicated him sending a strong message that crazy dissident priests will not be tolerated.
