Challenge for Pope is to Find Lost Sheep Without Distressing Faithful, Says Cardinal Ruini
Catholic Culture ^ | 9/30/16

The greatest challenge facing Pope Francis is to bring people back into the Catholic Church without creating a crisis among practicing Catholics, according to Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the retired vicar of the Rome diocese.

"I pray to the Lord that the search for the lost sheep—which is indispensable—does not disturb the consciences of the faithful in the flock," the Italian prelate said.

Cardinal Ruini made his remark in the course of an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera. The interview was primarily devoted to the cardinal's new book, Is There an Afterlife? Death and Hope.

Maybe a good start would be asking the Good Shepherd how he does it.

This dichotomy is of long standing. Jesus addressed it, among other cases, in the parable of the laborers in the vineyard.

Treating honest people like sheep is the first wandering.

The overt goal of this commie Pope is to harken in the New World Order and further the enslavement of the masses at the behest of the global elites, who by the way worship the Prince of Darkness.

Let’s just cut to the chase.
