It is sad that there are what you might call professional Catholics who make a living on their Catholicism, but in whom the spring of faith flows only faintly, in a few scattered drops. We must really make an effort to change this.

Michael.....I'd like to know what 'kind' of Catholics make up this poll. Are they regular Mass attending Catholics? A couple of times a year Catholics? When the 'spirit' hits them Catholics? Just curious. I do think that most SERIOUS Catholics most likely already have his number. Even if they don't have a ton of details, they KNOW he's not leading the Church the way the Church should go.
And yes, I agree with you. Francis is the FINAL wrecking ball.

Francis is the Obama of the Catholic Church. We now see how Obama let things go to hell because he wanted the US to collapse, so that it could be taken over and cease to be what it is.
Similarly, Francis has persistently deconstructed Catholic teaching and doctrine--starting with OUR LORD's teaching on the permanence of marriage--and turning the Vatican into a homosexual playground.
We rabbits have to stick together as we oppose Franny's errors and remain true to the Church's teachings. Thank God even the secular world is starting to see Francis's perfidy and perversity.

Frankly I was hoping it was junk science. I'm still not sure it isn't, but people are taking it seriously so maybe it isn't. Those numbers are still shockingly high, to me. It is a horror to realize how many Catholics are willing to chase the world.

I am skeptical of the concern on Jorge Bergoglio's part regarding the popularity of his behavior or actions.
I believe, increasingly strongly, that what he wants, what motivates him most thoroughly, is the complete destruction of the gospel and the silencing of Jesus Christ's mission. He will do whatever he can to further that end.

The poll includes all Catholics but those who attend Mass regularly rate Pope Francis lower. According to the data cited by Howard Kainz
42% of Catholics think Pope Francis has not been positive for the Church. This statistic must be from regular Mass attending Catholics. - March 11, 2018 at 5:31 AM

Michael, you hit the nail on the head!
Every Catholic I know who is immersed in their faith, has read Church teaching with the intention of understanding and living it, lives their lives using Sacramental Grace to avoid sin, goes to Mass greater than once a week - believes Pope. Francis to be a threat to the salvation of people they love. They don't like him. They wish he would make good on his threat to renounce the Chair of Peter. They are very much looking forward to the day the Chair is sede vacante and an election of the next pope is imminent.
On the other hand, the many Catholics I know who haven't been to Church in decades because they've been waiting for a pope who told them it's ok to sleep around, divorce and remarry, use contraception, abort their inconvenient children - etc - they believe Pope Francis is the man. They are still not going to Church though!

Own comment:
I whole-heartedly agree with Karl regarding Bergoglio's motives:
I am skeptical of the concern on Jorge Bergoglio's part regarding the popularity of his behavior or actions.
I believe, increasingly strongly, that what he wants, what motivates him most thoroughly, is the complete destruction of the gospel and the silencing of Jesus Christ's mission. He will do whatever he can to further that end.
His alleged - and for all intents and purposes fake - popularity is a tool towards an end, and not an end in and of itself.

Francis was elected to put the finishing touches on our complete conversion to Protestantism which began at Vatican II. He has been quite successful in that regard. Next? Married priests? OK on contraception? Eucharist is symbolic?
Yesterday I from Howard Kainz on a comment I made on the The Catholic Thing blog:
Howard Kainz The latest Pew Research poll says 84%, not +90%, of Catholics have a favorable view of Francis, and only 58% of Catholics see Francis as a positive change for the Church.
Note only 58% of Catholics think Francis has bee good for the Church.
