Title should read “Pope Francis..” Unable to correct. My apologies.
He’s being misunderstood, again.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Please note this is criticism of Pope Francis' comments, and nothing more.
God bless Pope Francis.
So those of us with a respect for orthodoxy (read “doctrine”) are cold and unable to experience joy...
Not so much here! I love my Lord, I love my life, I love the Nicene Creed, the Trinity, the forgiveness of sins, the substitutionary nature of Christ’s sacrifice - gee, I’m so conflicted...
Not.
So PopeFrank speaks his mind again. Sadly, he knows not the joy of the church fathers, since they are long gone...but he speaks like he knows they were dull, old idiots with no joy? RME
