Priest Suggests Praying for Death of Francis

Father Edward Staniek, 77, said in a homily on February 25 that he is praying that the Holy Sprit may help Pope Francis to return to the Catholic Faith or else let him quickly go to his eternal reward.

He explained that Francis is “moving away from Jesus” in his teaching. One of the examples he gave was Francis' Communion for adulterers, "Admitting the unholy people to holiness in the Church is a profanation of the sacraments" - the priest noticed.

After a conversation with Father Staniek, Cracow Archbishop Marek Jędraszewski declared that he was saddened by Staniek's words, "I assure you that the whole Church in Cracow is praying for Pope Francis daily and fervently" - he exaggerated.

Fr Staniek was ordained in 1965 by the later Pope John Paul II. From 1993 to 2001, Staniek was rector of the seminary in Krakow.
