I agree. People say he speaks in catholic terms. That's fine if he wants to be a priest and work at local catholic church. But, he the Pope and not only are the eyes of the world upon him, he speaks to the world. So when he speaks, he needs to be clear. He needs to remind people of why we need Jesus. This statement he made was horrible.
Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.
I agree with you completely at #33.
It’s very unfortunate on the phrasing.
Even if he had added ‘worldly’ before “humanly speaking” I think it would still need to be even clearer than that for the ‘world’.
He lacks discernment about this. Perhaps his translator should be fired, I don’t know.
I’m not Catholic but, I do know the itching ears of humanity, and what they they hear this ‘beloved’ Pope say is that Jesus failed and died on the cross. This is very unfortunate.
