Sometimes, it seems the Pope takes more pleasure in challenging the church that he leads than he does promoting the values he was entrusted to protect. Ever since he was elected head of the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope seemed to immediately embark on an apology tour for the beliefs and actions of his predecessors.
Of course, Pope Francis didn’t let the bounds of the his faith box him in, either. He quickly branched out to tackle hot-button issues such as capitalism and immigration, as well.
Now, the pope is even challenging the church’s firmly held beliefs on homosexuality. Homosexuality has long been one of the most condemnable sins in the eyes of the church, but the pontiff is once again reversing course by asking his followers to accepts gays and lesbians.
See what he asked of the church on the next page:
I think he should re-read the bible and see, unless he wants to change that too
The pope has lost any mind he ever had guess he never reads the Bible about gay living he should read Lev & Romans I can’t believe this man Ha!!!
Again he is not reading the Bible.

It’s fine. I am not a preacher, just sharing truth. There is but One Catholic Church, one Lotd who founded it. Yet there are more than 40,000 church denominations all proclaiming they teach The Truth, all spouting UNTRUTH about the Zone Church through which The grace of Christianity filtered to man. All this chaos can easily be cleared by a charitable heart to open up and really know the Truth that bond man to God. 40,000 voices proclaiming differing interpretations to God’s teaching, and all denigrating the Church that holds the Foundation If Christianity. Think about it, listen to Christ’s words,
I am the Bread Come Down from Heaven… He who eats of this Bread shall have Everlasting life … Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of man, you have no life within you..
And when his followers abandoned him, Jesus asked the 12 who stayed:
Are you also going to leave.. it was Simon the fisherman who answered, where can we go Lord? You have the word of Eternal Life.
Jesus answered to Simon, Blessed art though Fir thus thing has been revealed to you not by man but by the Holy Spirit.
I say to you that thou art Peter, and upon This Rock, I will build my Church. The gates of hell shall not prevail against it…
I will give to you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
Whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven them . Whose sins You retain, they are retained.
He also said , This world will pass away, but my word will never pass away. Behold, I will be with you until the end of time. He told us how to live with him, if you love me, obey my commandments… if you are not with me, you are against me.
On the night before he died, He instituted the Holy Eucharist on the Last Supper,
He picked up a piece of bread, Blessed it, and said – This is My Body which will be given up for you … After supper,
He picked up the chalice full of wine, Blessed it, said —. This My Blood of the New Covenant, which will be shed for you for the remission of sin… He who eats of this Bread and drink this Blood will have everlasting life.
To His Twelve Apostles, He gave the AUTHORITY to repeat the miraculous event of the Last Supper, and offer to man, Jesus Himself, the Bread from Heaven. The Bread of eternal life – His own Body And Blood…,
“Do THIS in remembrance of Me. “
I mean mainly to share what I KNOW of the
Truth I believe in, my Catholic Faith – the treasure our Lord died for to give us – TREASURE MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD…
May your days be Holy and bright. Merry, Merry Christmas…
Well goody for you, like I said, worry about your own soul and I’ll not worry about mine. Okay ? Okay !!
Jenny, you have learned the wrong thing on this one. What would you do if Jesus mandates the way sin can be forgiven is for you to go to confession??
Listen to the TRUTH:
He said to Simon the fisherman, Thou art Peter, and uponThis Rock, I will build My Church.. I will Thee the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whose sins you RETAIN the are retained… Jesus never minced words. He instituted the Sacrament of Penance (Confession) on the day he established His Church of which He said.
“The gates of hell shall not prevail against it… Behold I will be with you until the end of time..”
Spend a little time learning the Real Story of Christ and His One Church And What Christ really teaches us for our salvation.
No, the interupatation of this is wrong, the lord says the only way to salvation anf into heaven is through me..Read the history of the bibles, the catholict.church, and Qoeen Mary, and King James, were jealous of the bible and the king and Queen had it rewritten to suit themselves, and the Catholicts hid the bible, becausr it explained what each verse meant, and they wanted the oeople yo believe what the pope wanted tehem to.think, so they forbud anyone to own a bible, now look at your pope, see the devil.? Only God can forgive you you need only prsy to god, usr your common sense !!
Sorry about my misspelling of most of my context…why chance to think you cant pray to the lord yourself..? The catholict church is satans work, we have always know that..the truth has shown its ugly evil face, Pope Francis, revieled the devil..
Why is it man finds, or creates one verse in the bible and starts an entirely new religion.? Mormoms, catholicts, Muslims, etc. And they make thier so called religion so hard, that it drives many away. The stories ofbibke and verses were written by the deciples and others,
