God does not change. His Word does not change. This pope must not have read to the end of Revelation:”For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophesy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophesy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Revelation 22:18,19)
“Change and decay when all around I see. O Thou Who changest not, abide with me.”
Let me suggest the unexpected alternative. Francis, as a bishop, was always hard to pin down, and when people tried to he usually proved them very far from the mark.
I use that in a lead up to this: sometimes the best way to kill ideas, or to knock down a contentious group that work to undermine “the system”, is to send up a “trial balloon” of their ideas. This not only shoots down those bad ideas, but exposes those who advocated them.
Of course the Vatican is seldom though of a palace of intrigues, conspiracies, cabals and Byzantine plots — heh, heh.
Yet if this were the case, Francis and others now know who are pushing for “modernity”, yet he can remain above the fray and dagger fights. Triangulation.
I interprets this.
...you interprets what...?
This Pope thinks God’s word is a living Constitution too?
Hope and Change... ugh
“God is not afraid of new things”
How can God EVER be afraid?
How can anything be “new” to God?
This Pope speaks like a non-Christian who does not know God or the gospel. He is in the wrong occupation.
There’s nothing to spin. The guy runs off at the mouth and says some dumb things.
Haven’t you read all those quotes we’ve been posting about what would happen if the Pope were a manifest heretic? He would lose the office and everyone would move on.
Here’s an idiotic leftist trying to make light of everything:

Nah, he is a progressive and his job is to push for and set up the one world religion.
The religion is do whatever you want, it is all okay.
He is acting like a community organizer for the left.
God never changes. Nor do his views on sin. What was written in the Bible as sinful always had been sinful, and always will be sinful. No ifs, ands, or buts. This is not a negotiable thing.
Homosexuality is not new.
Your comment brings up another point. It does seem quite coincidental that we have both Obama and Francis at the same time in history. They both have similar leftist leanings - at least to me.
You are right. The NWO needed a progressive to be Pope. He really isn’t a Pope, he is a fraud like Obama.
No he wasn't beaten back by the bishops...A good majority of the bishops sided with your pope...He failed to get a full two thirds of them on his side is the problem...
Be interesting to see if they start working on a rule change to a simple majority being the deciding factor...
sinners are listening to this and wondering why be a Christian if they can sin and have the Pope be ok with it!
Evidently Frances thinks that Church doctrine is a “living document.”
As long as church doctrine is based on the Bible, that shouldn’t be a problem. But when you get a bunch of people together and they just make stuff up as they go along, then there is a problem.
9. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. - Soloman
Francis is a Jesuit. No one should be surprised by much of anything he does.
