This is a pan-Christian concern and it really is one of those “depends on what we mean” things.
IF this means, don’t try to be “righteous” and “strong” in your own flesh, nothing righter could be said.
If it means despair that God could ever help you improve, this is wrong.
Another question here would be what kind of God do we mean. We are not speaking of a disinterested philosopher here.

I suspect the intended meaning is that God does not like it when we try to be strong independent of him, but instead prefers it when we rely on him for strength.

I suspect that this pope is a freak. Notice I won’t capitalize ‘Pope’.

Which moderator cropped this article? And why?
“We may think that we are the “worst” on account of our sins and weaknesses, the Pope told the youth. However, this is how God prefers us to be, in order that “his mercy may spread.”

I’m Catholic and I can freely say this pope is totally off the Rez.

My apologies to all. I just realized that my #1 comment violated caucus rules.
Mea culpa.

Jesus wants us to “go and sin no more.”

The body of the thread is exactly as you posted it.
Would you like the thread pulled?
To: Innovative
How about this one:
“Now you have a duty to stay up all night and make chaos.”
Is that the greatest pick-up line of all time, or what?

Did watched the replayed prayer vigil last night and yes, once again Pope Francis did say about the need to “build bridges, not walls”. Not surprised at all by what he said.

So much for:

Go West, Young Woman!
True, our barbeque isn't as good out here.
But you can see the Zombies coming for miles from the top of Crazy Peak!
