Pat Buchanan Upset by Pope Francis: He Is Losing the Culture War
Writing at Townhall on Friday, Buchanan said Pope Francis was attempting to move “the Catholic Church to a stance of non-belligerence, if not neutrality, in the culture war for the soul of the West.”

Buchanan isn’t pleased that Pope Francis described attempting to convert people to Christianity as “solemn nonsense.” The pope has said that Christians need to listen to others and “discover new needs” rather than lecture them.
The conservative columnist was also upset that Pope Francis refused to judge people of certain sexual orientations.
“Well, he is pope. And even the lowliest parish priest has to deliver moral judgments in a confessional,” Buchanan wrote.
If Pat Buchanan is against you, you know you’re doing something right.
