Pope Francis criticized the state of the Catholic Church in the United States, calling it"reactionary" in recent comments during a closed-door meeting with members of the Jesuit religious order in Portugal.
The pope described a"climate of closure" in the United States, and that in such an environment"one can lose the true tradition and turn to ideologies for support" and that this leads to a factional view of the church. The pope said that the error of the U.S. Catholic Church is that they view"the doctrine of the church as a monolith" and that"When you go backward, you make something closed off, disconnected from the roots of the church."
