Is it normal my mom hates the pope?

my mom is Catholic and she doesn't like the new Pope at all. She loved John Paul II even though I think he was senile most of the time. I think it's because he was Polish and this one isn't. I don't think she cares about his philosophy I think she doesn't like him cause he's not Polish.

    I should have added the only thing a Christian should hate is sin. Not the sinner.

    I you are a Christian you put your faith in God. Not a old man in a purple robe.

    Doesn't like and hate are two different things you know, but I thought catholics believed the pope was chosen by those old blokes in Rome under god's instructions? Why do you care?

    • I think my mom should not base her liking on nationality

        True. So she's racist? Maybe like all the people who hate your president because he's black? So is a fair proportion of the world unfortunately: all you can do is resolve to not be racist yourself.

        • I'd say rather than racist she is a big nationalist( she's Polish herself) . She actually voted for Obama. Me I don't like any politicians as a rule:)

            If she dislikes someone solely because of their race, she's racist, it's not confined to dislike of black people. I don't like any politicians either, although we have some Greens people in Australia who aren't too bad and do seem to at least have some principles

            • I'm kind of jaded with all that. Anyway ... Yeah I don't think she likes South Americans much.

    More christian hypocrisy raises it's ugly head. This pope has just made divorce much easier; hooray for trying to bring his religion into the 19th century.

    Maybe your Mom is overly ethnocentric?

    The pope escaped from his cage by popular demand.

    How does she feel about the one who used to be a Nazi in WWII and then became the first pope in history to retire?

    Nope. They just pray for good judgment during the election process.
