Back up.

You are proving the point of the headline.

If you think we are enlightened, compared with those in former times, you might want to rethink your premises.

people think, now, that they are impervious to the enemy.

It’s never been more wrong a notion.

The Pope might be off on his advice in economics, and other things, but he will never be able to bring the Church to an acceptance of the practice of homosexuality.

I haven’t heard of any burning at the stake or Inquisitions lately, have you? Some of our priests engaged in horrific rapes of children. This has gone on for centuries but we no longer tolerate it, do we? We used to preach that all the Jews and protestants and other non-Catholics go straight to hell. We don’t preach that anymore, do we?

We are a work in progress but yes we have achieved significant areas of enlightenment as a perfect faith run on this earth by humans. I am not endorsing or condemning the Pope on his numerous opinions. But I think it is vitally important as a faith to ask ourselves - what is motivating him?

1 John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

If people still think there is such a thing called “ the enemy”.
