I thought this pope was doing well at first, then he started veering into politics, global warming, immigration...
Any religious leader should stay out of politics. The best thing they could do is keep promoting the golden rule, which is the same for most of the world’s major religions...
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
And stay out of politics. Illegal immigration, same sex marriage, “climate change” are all issues that should be dealt with by governments, not religious leaders.
Of course popes have never stayed out of politics. People hundreds of years ago were told by the kings what religion to endorse, but that was actually done by the pope, who threatened to excommunicate the king if he didn’t make such a decree. So you couldn’t choose to be a Jew, Catholic or Protestant, the king said be a Catholic. By order of the pope...Fear of losing his kingdom was what made the king a puppet of the pope, who was the real leader. But nobody knew it...
Illegal immigration, same sex marriage, “climate change” are all issues that should be dealt with by governments, not religious leaders.
So Franklin Graham or Robert Jeffress have no business commenting on social issues either...?
