Christmas is a gift to the world from God. For it is a time where everyone, even in deepest darkest uncharted Africa, can know about God's love for man in the incarnation. Not willing to leave us here in our sins, God sent His only begotten to save the world. The child grew and bore man's sins on the cross, to all who believe.

The Pope is tragically in error. To reject this unspeakable gift of love is to reject God Himself. As Psalms 14 states, "...the fool says in his heart, NO God!" An atheist is not someone who is in ignorance, but rather someone who foolishly rejects God.

John 8:24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

Maybe the Catholic Church picked the wrong guy to be Pope?

Is the Pope Catholic?

I was raised in the Church, became a Methodist in adulthood, but this Pope does not seem to grasp the basics of Christianity.

Heh. Well, thanks, Mr Pope.
That’s mighty white of you.

Sort of does away with the need for a church especially one that cost so much money

John 14:6

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Enough said!Sorry Pope

So the Pope is ruler over God now? He can override Him?

Atheists could not really care less, because they don’t believe in God or Heaven.

This is what you get when you have someone ideologically sympathetic to Liberation Theology.

“Going to Heaven” means spending eternity with your God. Satan is the God of this World, and this Pope, so he is correct. Atheists will spend eternity in the Eternal Lake of Fire with Satan, the God of this world.

There is a powerful being who would encourage such a belief.

The Catholic Church is the vehicle of my faith. But I have said for a long time, the leadership is sinfully horrific. The church leadership from Pope to priest has gone way off track. The Catholic Church has forgotten that it’s mission is to save souls.

The church has gone astray and found it’s way back before. I pray it can happen again. God needs to clean house a bit.

Anyone building an ark?

Let me guess...his name starts with an “s” and ends in an “n”?
