I can’t help but to notice that the essence of “Papa” Francis’ message is that of a sales pitch. He wants to reword the Gospel to be as appealing as possible, giving up the divisive parts, on the premise that people will buy the product and won’t be able to return it later.

In reality, the Gospel has never been a sales pitch at all. Pastors may plant, others may water, but it is God who brings the increase, and therefore we need do nothing except speak the truth in all its glory, and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

Thanks, I'm sure that the cicar of Christ on Earth will appreciate your assistance. If I get to make the choice between your interpretation of scripture, and that of the Pope.......I think i'll go with........ready for the answer.........THE POPE!!!!!!!
