It seems like Pope Francis is determined to see that his papacy is marked by an extraordinary level of controversy, much of it generated by him within the Catholic Church itself. While the Christian faith is no stranger to theological disputes since its inception 2,000 years ago, some periods have obviously been marked by more vigorous debates than others, much to the regret of devoted adherents to the Faith.
Yet Pope Francis doesn’t seem to be troubled by being the center of some very divisive disputes, or the fact that he is the one who has created them.
He has taken a strong position in favor of open immigration, and has made statements on theology that are in direct opposition to historic Christian doctrine such as his proclamation that all religions worship the same god.
He recently took a very charitable and supportive position on Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro, an avowed atheist, who just died.
But this time he may have really done it. See page two.
All religions to not worship the same God. He knows not the Lord Jesus Christ, or he would NEVER say that.
Agreed.
About time.
Yeah, I don’t know where some people get ” Baptist”, Methodist , or any other denominational thing sometimes. Maybe their church doesn’t let them read the bible, or maybe they are just too lazy.
Thanks for the comment Ronald.
he was never a pope
FOOD FOR THOUGHT > What if Jesus turned His Ministry over to the CORRUPT religious leaders of His day to carry the msg?
Cardinal Zen said, ” ‘The official bishops are not really preaching the gospel. They are preaching obedience to Communist authority,’who has been outspoken about the lack of political freedom and religious liberty in China.”…
This what happens when a follower of liberation theology is promoted to Pope.
He is so right on.
BS
The pope does seem to have an intense interest in politics….. he should probably mind the Catholic Church!
