The German blog Nur ein Kreuzknappe (Only a Crusader’s squire) reported earlier today that on Friday evening a peace dove Francis released skyward promptly flew smack dab into a wall! No, we at Call Me Jorge... are not kidding. The peace dove really did fly into the wall surrounding the courtyard of the Church of St. Shimun Bar Sabbae in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Were there any Wookalar’s present?
Damn, at least the wild ones that flew into my shotgun’s pattern checked out quick. And were properly consumed, as all wild game taken should be.
Dove’s not home!
Ha, nope! And it takes a lot of dove breasts to work up a good burp...but it’s a fun afterevening gettin’ there!
It’s a miracle!!!
It is truly disgusting how, any time I read an anti-Catholic headline on FreeRepublic, there’s a 90% probability of which dubious soul’s associated with it...some might call it downright atheistic.
Why should you worry? Francis has told an atheist editor that he had no intention to convert him to Catholicism. He even told him that atheists can go to Heaven.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains that “Since it rejects or denies the existence of God, atheism is a sin against the virtue of religion but the imputability of the offense can be significantly diminished in virtue of the intentions and the circumstances” (CCC#2125).
Pope Francis says atheists can do good and go to heaven too!

Isn’t it wonderful, ebb tide?
Ok, I LoL’ed at your post!
No, it’s not wonderful and Pope Francis is wrong.
Baltimore Catechism:
9. Q. What must we do to save our souls?
A. To save our souls, we must worship God by faith, hope, and charity; that is, we must believe in Him, hope in
Him, and love Him with all our heart.
10. Q. How shall we know the things which we are to believe?
A. We shall know the things which we are to believe from the Catholic Church, through which God speaks to us.
And the schismatics and heretics. Apparently all are part of the Church. According to Vatican II, Christ’s church only subsists in the Catholic Church and Christ uses separated communities as means of salvation.
Given this, I just don’t understand why those that follow the new Vatican II religion worry so much about those who they perceive/judge as not being part of the Catholic Church.
1 Timothy 2:[5] For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:[6] Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
All, includes atheists...it includes every human being. He paid the price so that every man “could” come to God and be saved.
Francis’ discussion: “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class. We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all. And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace. If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: We need that so much. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: We will meet one another there.”
Fr. Thomas Rosica, a Vatican representative, explained:
“This means that all salvation comes from Christ, the Head, through the Church which is his body. Hence they cannot be saved who, knowing the Church as founded by Christ and necessary for salvation, would refuse to enter her or remain in her. At the same time, thanks to Christ and to his Church, those who through no fault of their own do not know the Gospel of Christ and his Church but sincerely seek God and, moved by grace, try to do his will as it is known through the dictates of conscience can attain eternal salvation.”
Forgot to add you:

This is NOT Catholic teaching. We are not ALL children of God.
