*Sorry, your statement has no basis in fact.
Francis does not support abortion, and will not “make it a sacrament.” *
Not yet he doesn’t. But it seems that he is MUCH more influenced by his Socialist friends that he is the Bible. He espouses a deadly and destructive pack of Leftist views.
Also, he has shown himself to be a liar by promoting the Global Warming Scam.
...It’s only a matter of time.
Really? So are your opinions are based on things Francis has actually said and written?
Or on what the lefty-spin media says he said? And the people who are clamoring for photo-ops to justify themselves—you believe them?
You insist Francis is pro-abortion. Why? Because he has said women who have had abortions can be forgiven?
So repentance and forgiveness are unbiblical?
Please reference Luke 7: 41-43.
The pro-aborts, not Francis, are the ones perverting the Bible, and they are trying to align themselves with Francis to justify their own foulness. Those folks would have you believe that forgiveness of sin is an endorsement of it, and an invitation to continue in it. They reject what is stated clearly in
John 8: 11, and Luke 17: 1-2. I haven’t seen anything to suggest Francis is tossing out these, or any other parts of the Bible, just because Nancy Pelosi has.
The famous “Who am I to judge?” comment has been repeated ad nauseum by the left to mean that Francis has decreed homosexualITY is no longer a mortal sin.
In fact, Francis’ question, with a shrug, was in response to a very different, and specific, although much more nuanced, question.
First, understand several translators were involved in this discussion. Also, it was in the context of Francis’ earlier widely publicized statement, that there is indeed a gay “cabal” within the church, which he said must be rooted out.
The conversation leading up, was about whether or not homosexuALS are welcome in the Catholic Church.
Francis’ general response was, Of course! All are invited to hear the message, etc., but all must come with a humble and contrite heart, and a willingness to turn away from sin and accept Christ’s gift on the cross. This conversation went on for awhile.
THEN the next question to Francis was, How do you know whether the homosexual in the pew is sincerely seeking salvation? Or whether he is a gay activist. whose ulterior motive is to bring acceptance of homosexuality into the church?
THAT is when Francis shrugged and said, (roughly translated) Who knows? Or, Who am I to judge (whether a person’s heart is truly humble and contrite)? He was saying that only God can judge that. To
assume a person might be insincere, and on that basis, with hold Christ’s message, thus denying the possibility of repentance, would be wrong.
IOW Francis was asked to make an absolute determination on the SINCERITY of the sinners’ motivations. He was not, that day, asked to judge whether homosexuality is still defined as sin in the Catholic Church.
Of course it is, and he has repeatedly said so many times before and since. Obama & co will continue to distort his statements, and people will believe what they choose.
As for Francis being a socialist, communist left winger: in Argentina, tthe Communists accused him of being in cahoots with the fascist right wing junta. So, which?
As for global warming, Environmentalism, per se, is not unbiblical. In Genesis, God assigned Adam to have stewardship, or dominion, over the earth. But that’s another yakfest, for another day.
