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:

Where have you been? You never heard of the Messiah. The story of His Birth and what He did For our salvation? Oh! 4 more days and we celebrate the descent of God into the earth for a mission that cost him his life… Simple story of the truth of the Man-God dying that we might live… learn, Man, learn but learn THE TRUTH..

True. ONLY God forgives sin. But yet, would you deny he gave His twelve Apostles the authority to forgive sins – in His Behalf??? Listen to what He told the First ministers of His Church:
– I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heave. WHOSE SINS YOU FORGIVE THEY ARE FORGIVEN THEM.
Whose sins YOU RETAIN they are retained.
You are saying that God said the wrong thing, that there is a hidden meaning to his words, “Whose sins you forgive, they are forgive them”. Which he taught his ministers, “The sins YOU forgive, I FORGIVE.”
You claim to be a “True” Catholic yet you can’t help yourself from passing Judgement on others ? That my friend is Gods place, no one elses. If it were your “opinion” it would be a whole different story but your on your pulpit and passing judgement on others comments.
YOUR judgement means squat and I hope your prepared to answer for it on your “Judgement ” day.

This is what you have been indoctrinated, huh – ? You ever try to know what Catholics really believe? You are getting F**E info about the Only Church Founded for man – us. You are regurgitating false info about Catholics and the Catholic Church. Ever heard of
The Apostles Creed?
Begin with that one. It tells you what Catholics believe. Then, be brave and seek Catholic Answers tonyour question by calling in, asking apologists who are on the Guadalupe Catholic Radio. They will answer any and all questions you ask…
Larry Hilario Rupinta, this article quotes the CC on changing Sabbath to Sunday: http://cgi.org/who-changed-the-sabbath-to-sunday/ And this is one of an abundance of articles on pagan customs turning into “christian” holidays/observances: http://www.acts1711.com/xmas2.htm

You really believe this? You got a problem, you have been indoctrinated with poison and hate against the one Church He established for us, and thru which he teaches us of the whole truth of our faith in God himself. Seek the truth with an open heart. Good luck. Merry Christmas. The love of God fill your heart and your family’s on this Homy Season of Christ ‘s Birth..
Larry, when jesus walked this earth, i am sure he gave them authority to forgive sins, but after crucifixion, that was no longer. Jesus says the only way to my father is through me.. he didnt nention of the ordained pope, people used to speak in tongues to, but after Jesus was hung on the cross, tongues and faith healing is no more..we must now pray to our father…i believe you must be saved, and keep the 10 commandments, thats it.. none of this lil stuff doesnt count..
Larry, Merry Christmas to you as well,..I know I need some work, think you need to seek too, but if you are saved Larry, you are good..

Faith is only Blind when you really do not know what it is you believe in. Or that what you believe is not the true word of Gid but of man’s erroneous interpretation, of God’s word… done purposely to promote the denigration of the Only Church Jesus founded for all his people. Catholic. Am I a practicing faithful Catholic BLIND to the true teaching of our Lord??? Am I blind because I am a convinced Catholic ..? Heard of the fact that on the beginning there was but one Church
Joan McKenna Mertens
You know what, Joan. It’s always been that way. As salvation is personal, so is our relationship to the Lord on this His Kingdom on earth, is always Singular – personal. Yet, we must also help the blind who stumbles to get up and see. The salvation of our soul depends on our own endeavor to seek and know God. I have been helped, but only I can save Me
