Well, he is the Pope.
Jesus told someone that to follow him he should sell all his possessions. From what I remember, the guy wasn’t too happy about it.
He also said something about what good is it having everything and losing your soul.
I’m not selling everything I own, but I try to be a good person.
The Pope kinda has to relate Jesus’ message, I guess.
Jesus spoke in a hebrew idiom
I dont think Francis know jack about that nor does he care
Jesus was asking that the hearer..to CHOOSE....
choice was the KEY to the whole deal and remains so to this day.
It’s one thing to give from the heart, quite another to have it confiscated.
