The Pope is addressing those who claim the title of Christian but live without Christ. Anyone who is not filled with anti-Catholic prejudice would understand that he is condemning this.

Problem is, he failed to inform them that are not Christians...He did not delineate between Christians without Jesus and those with Jesus in the truth that while one is destined for heaven, the other is destined for hell...

Course that wouldn't be PC for the pope to tell some baptized Catholic Christians that they are on the road to hell...

You said: “The Pope is addressing those who claim the title of Christian but live without Christ. Anyone who is not filled with anti-Catholic prejudice would understand that he is condemning this.”

I say: Yea Verily! Once again we see the anti-Catholics on parade here at FR. Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox, we all need to focus on how each of us can follow our Saviour better each day. And how each of us needs to realize that Jesus is the Center point of our salvation and that our doctrinal differences must NOT distract us.

And in these weekly addresses the Pope is speaking not just to Catholics, but to all Christians, and/or profess to follow Christ, whether or not that person meets our individual and personal definition of being a Christian. Only Jesus knows the answer to that, not us.
