That’s our Frank!
I left the UMC over this same kind of thing. They say that “orthopraxy is more important than orthodoxy”, “the meaning of scripture is revealed anew to each generation”, “God isn’t finished speaking yet”, “personal holiness cannot happen without social justice”, and “the Kingdom of God is realized when no one goes hungry or is marginalized” and it is ON EARTH because we have to make it happen. To them, Jesus is just Santa Claus, a fictional character used to teach a certain morality.
The replacement of Christ with the Marxist version of “justice” is their mission.
So if this was not a good excuse before, then it's not a good excuse now.
37,000 children (UN) die everyday from simple malnutrition. That’s the world’s morality.
actions speak louder than words, especially when the MSM decides to distort remarks off the cuff as if they were dogma.
I have many criticisms of this pope, but he had the guts to visit some of the worst slums here in the Philippines, visit the Visayas which is still in shambles from last year’s typhoon, and now he has visited not just slums but a war zone in Central Africa.
He even visited a township where Muslim refugees were hiding out from the “christian” militias and had the nerve to say they shouldn’t be killing their brother over religious differences.
(although as one who has worked in Africa, I must correct the idea that this is a religious war: fighting in central Africa has more to do with tribal differences than religion per se).
Is this in response to something the Pope said? In future, please put the quote in the little stub at the top. It is very nice to know what is being responded to.
