What does our good Pope Francis mean by this statement?
“It is by loving that the God-who-is-Love is proclaimed to the world: not by the power of convincing, never by imposing the truth, no less by growing fixated on some religious or moral obligation,”
Did I read that correctly? "growing fixated on some
religious or moral obligation,”
Ah, you mean like these?
- I am the LORD your God. You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
- Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
- Honor your father and your mother.
- You shall not kill.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
- You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.
What a bunch of relativistic Jesuitical bile!
God is love? Yes, God
is also Truth. God is Mercy. God is Justice.
The Bishop of Rome also goes on to say:
“We are called always to live out and proclaim the newness of the Lord’s love: 'Jesus truly loves you, just as you are. Give him space: in spite of the disappointments and wounds in your life, give him the chance to love you. He will not disappoint you,'”
Yes, "Jesus loves you, just as you are" but Jesus
does not expect you to stay, where you are!
Accordingly, if Francis is correct, then abortion is okay,
contraception is okay, fornication, adultery, masturbation, pornography,
homosexuality and lesbianism, murder, thievery, failure to hear Mass on
Sundays, and on, and on, and on, ...
This man's theology is daft. I once gave him the benefit of
the doubt, that he was suffering some form of dementia. No, not any more. He
really does believe this bile he spouts.
He is confusing Catholics around the world. How sorry I feel
for those Catholics trapped in Novus Ordo ignorance who fall for the
blathering, bombastic theological abuses emanating from the mouth of this
Bergoglio.
Bishops! Cardinals!
Where are you?
