Francis presided at a solemn Mass

No he didn't unless he used the ancient rite and was served by a deacon and sub-deacon.

The truth, Pope Francis said, is not changed by passing fads or popular opinions. “The truth which protects individuals and humanity as a whole from the temptation of self-centredness and from turning fruitful love into sterile selfishness, faithful union into temporary bonds.”

Quoting his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, the Holy Father said “Without truth, charity degenerates into sentimentality. Love becomes an empty shell, to be filled in an arbitrary way. In a culture without truth, this is the fatal risk facing love.”

”… but said the Church had to show love and understanding towards all."

With all due respect to the Pope, I have to question if Jesuits really take the time to study the Holy Bible. If he has then for some reason he doesn’t seem to understand Jesus' teaching of Matthew 18:15-17, particularly verse 17 concerning Christians not associating with unrepentant sinners, nor Paul’s inspired statement of 1 Corinthians 5:11, nor Jesus’ condemnation of the Pharisees and teachers of the law in Matthew 23.

All of these passages indicate that Christians are to draw a line with respect to not associating unrepentant sinners, a line which the worldly Pope evidently doesn’t understand.

Pope opens bank, but still opposes embezzlement.

Pope open restaurant, but still opposes cannibalism.

Pope opens power plant, but still opposes burning Jews.

He’s SO inconsistent!
