We’ve become defeated Christians the moment we started saying that killing children is OK, contraception and homosex is fine, and divorce, and communism, and lying is no big deal, and sending soldiers off to die on suicide missions for political gain, ect.
There are a huge number of things as an amoral/immoral society we’ve allowed because Christianity, which means that Jesus’ mission as to save us from the power of Satan and his minions, is inconsequential to our culture.
The Pope is correct though. God Bless Pope Francis.
ALL of us, be professing Christians or not, NEED to repent and believe.
