"In any case, I would not judge anybody by a 7-word aphorism....Neither would I nor Blathernaut."

Good to hear that. What I was responding to was this from BlatherNaut:

“Religion is not the way; Jesus is.”---
"The Pope said this? If so, he ought to resign."

So? Blathernaut still didn’t make that judgment solely because of that one statement by Francis. That was my point.

aphorism: a terse saying embodying a general truth, or astute observation

“Religion is not the way; Jesus is.”

This statement embodies a general falsehood, not a general truth.

The Catholic Religion was given to us by Christ himself as the means of our salvation. Christ can not be divorced from the Holy Religion He founded.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
