Yes. It’s weird.
Well, he declined as most people who are aware of this Pope would.
I think some churches are teaching that. I’ve heard it said by some church goers—we all worship the same god.
I don’t go to church so I’m ignorant but I don’t and won’t subscribe to this way of thinking.
Is Pope Francis in a competition with Glenn Beck to see who can make the most outrageous statement? Common sense is never on display when these two babble on.
If Peter Sellers played a Pope that’s exactly what he’d look like (and probably sound like).
One of the many Catholic denominations.
Extremely naïve or thoroughly dissembling Pope.
Pope just preaching the catechism of the Catholics, specifically CCC para. 841.
However, if Pontius Pilate and the Roman authorities at Jerusalem had modern ambulances and a heart filled with charity (even in their manifest ignorance of Who Jesus Christ was), they would have prided an ambulance to Jesus Christ even BEFORE He was crucified, even BEFORE He carried His cross, even BEFORE He was mocked and "crowned" with thorns. His condition after the scourging at the pillar would have been enough justification.
Francis would do well to remember, as a successor of Peter, that Francis's sins are not to be minimized in this fashion. Just Francis's personal sins would have disqualified him from heaven without God becoming man with both natures and suffering and dying in atonement of those sins. Francis's sins, my sins, your sins (gentle reader) and the sins of each and every one of us. Only Jesus and Mary were without sin. Jesus, by His divine nature, and Mary, only by the grace of God.
Yet Ann Coulter is winning this round.
The Cardinals and the Curia chose poorly.

How could I have forgotten her? No doubt, she is a solid candidate in any foolishness competition.
Sounds pretty good to me, a non-Catholic, want-to-be Jew.
