“What is perfection in love? Love your enemies in such a way that you would desire to make them your brothers … For so did He love, Who hanging on the Cross, said ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’” (Luke 23:34)
Assuredly, the word of truth can be painful and uncomfortable. But it is the way to holiness, to peace, and to inner freedom. A pastoral approach which truly wants to help the people concerned must always be grounded in the truth. In the end, only the truth can be pastoral.
A civilization inspired by a consumerist, anti-birth mentality is not and cannot ever be a civilization of love.
Evil too, will always be part of the mystery of the Church. And when we see what men, what the clergy have done in the Church, then that is nothing short of proof that he [Christ] founded and upholds the Church. If she were dependent on men, she would long since have perished.
In proclaiming the faith and in administering the sacraments every priest speaks on behalf of Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ.
With the letter by the 4 cardinals on the dubia of Amoris Laetitia, I can now confidently declare that we are at the beginning of the end for Bergoglio, the unrelentic heretic attempting to destroy the Church.
There is a disturbing video of a black Hillary Clinton supporter abusing her child because he voted for Donald Trump in the moch school elections. I'll assume that everyone condemns her action so I'll not spend any time on that.
Given Bergoglio's latest cringeworthy rant against those who attempt to live by Christ's teaching, titled “Beneath rigidity there is something else, there is often wickedness” by Vatican Insider, I must agree with Mundabor that Bergoglio is a "lewd old man".
The Bear writes, on Bergoglian mercy and it's tendency to ignore the Gospel:
It isn't an emphasis. It is simple non-Christianity. We've been worrying that Pope Francis isn't Catholic. The Bear must wonder if he is even Christian.
