OBAMA:
Uh, yeah, I guess I do.
It’s not formal —me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.
Frankie, go back and read about Jonah. See if you can learn something from it.
Does complaining o God about this Pope count? This Pope sucks.
Ummmmmm ... no.
Perhaps the "Peregrina Theologica?"
This Pope is a communist dope.
“Complaining to the Lord is a form of praying. This was Abraham’s lesson, “
When folks lose their firstborn after 20+ years, folks tend to look up up and yell— WHY LORD!
JUST my personal experience.....
Any human thinking they are closer to God than someone else is delusional.
Ummmm, be careful with GOD.
He will accept questions but he never accepts judgement.
His World IS your world.
Yes.
God expects us to bring Him our problems as well as our praise.
“Faith is also fighting with God, showing him our bitterness without any pious pretence,
No.
Faith is taking our bitterness to God and asking Him to remove it.
Fighting with God is not faith but rebellion.
I think it is a Jesuit thing to try to push the envelope and say provocative and borderline things, because I have heard similar homilies like this at Jesuit churches in the past. It is not something becoming to someone whose job it is to protect the Deposit of Faith. Like a lot of leftists in the Church, everything is vague and ambiguous with this guy, so one could perhaps have plausible deniability, while undermining orthodox belief subtly at every turn.
Good grief.
“Thy will be done.” How hard is that to grasp?
Francis, pick up your Cross and imitate Jesus -———— in silence.
ok neo-jesuit guy. to paraphrase you, being a Christian doesn’t necessarily make you smarter, or wiser. and that is certainly true.
personally i think i’d focus my teaching elsewhere...but that’s just me i guess.
Satan has achieved dominance in the Catholic church.
I was always told to avoid the three Cs:
Criticize
Compare
Complain
They just belittle your own self when you partake in them.
If faith include trusting islam to be peaceful, it’s worthless.
FWIW, this is actually biblical — prophets did it. However this sure seems like a concerted campaign to take all the formal dignity away from the Roman Catholic church organization. Not like there’s something WRONG with that....
Book of Job shows a man questioning God, but he also loves God.
Good Lord. This pope is a piece of work. And, may I remind you, it doesn’t say much for the cardinals who voted him in. The Vatican has a long, sordid history of “taking care” of wayward popes. He needs to shape up, or the world just might be treated to another round of smoke watching.
