So what would God or Francis recognize as sin? Should we just stick with Francis. You also bring up the possibility of we recognizing sin, what guide line should we use to identify sin. Or is this left to The Pope and God?
What does the rule book say?
Doing bad things to a society... it is not nonsense to talk about forgiveness of sin, but that presupposes recognition of sin.
Since Francis wasn’t asked for a eulogy, he COULD have been franker.
