POPE FRANCIS DELETES TWEET CLAIMING CHRISTIANS ARE ‘COMMUNICATING A LIFESTYLE’
Daily Caller ^ | 08/30/18 | Joshua Gill

Posted on 08/30/2018 11:35:49 AM PDT by JonnyFive

Pope Francis deleted a tweet Thursday saying “We Christians are not selling a product. We are communicating a lifestyle,” after criticism from Twitter users.

The pontiff later replaced the tweet with a similarly worded message, saying instead that Christians communicate “life.” Twitter users lambasted the original tweet, saying that the church’s recent actions and the language of Francis’ message sounded exactly like a sales pitch.

Why not the simple statement of our Lord:
John 14:1-7 1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

2My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

4You know the way to the place where I am going."

5Thomas said to him, "LORD, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

...and what is wrong with a sales pitch for your religion?

“We Christians are not selling a product. We are communicating a lifestyle,”

Bharf!!!

We're preaching the Gospel. We're worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ. We're living our Faith. And when we fail in these things, we confess our sins and ask Our Lord for the grace to do better.

Or, at least, we're supposed to. I thought that was obvious.

Perhaps Frank should consult his mentor for advice before speaking…

I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean, so I won’t call him a lying faithless gay marxist until I find out what he meant.

Has he seen the “lifestyle” that's being promoted in the diocese of Pennsylvania and Boston?

The recent revelations about paedophilia. If nothing else it’s bad timing. For those who believe him guilty, his tweet said that he’s selling homosexual assault of young boys

Because it offends the lefties?

And Pope Frank doesn't want to offend lefties or Muzzies?

A thread about the pope we (in this case ex-catholic Protestant) can actually post in? Great. The Catholics need to find someone else for that spot. A Marxist was not an inspired choice,

I’m afraid that Frankie’s selection as first pope from the “new world” has poisoned the well. It will be a long time before there’s another pope from west of the Greenwich meridian.
