“Christians should imitate Jesus in being steadfast — not inflexible — in their convictions, thus being open to change for the good of others, Pope Francis said on Sunday.
“This is what God is like: He is love, and the one who loves does not remain rigid,” the pope said on Aug. 20. “You stand firm, you stay firm, not rigid.”
The Christian, he added, “does not remain rigid in his own positions but allows him or herself to be moved or touched. He or she knows how to change plans. It’s creative love.”
Pope Francis said: “We Christians want to imitate Christ; we are invited to be open to change. How good it would be in our relationships, as well as in our lives of faith, to be docile, to truly pay attention, to soften up for the name of compassion and the good of others.”

Communist Chinese are working on a “revised” Bible. One passage had Christ killing someone.
They already bar children from attending Christian services.
And forced Catholics to place Chinese leaders on the altar next to Mary and Joseph to show proper reverence for them——or get arrested.
CBN site article in 2022:
The Chinese Communist Party, China’s ruling regime, has been on a mission to rewrite the Bible through a communist lens. This quest has reportedly resulted in shocking distortions of Scripture and Gospel truth.
The spokesman for the Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), a persecution watchdog group said:
“This is a project that the Chinese Communist Party announced in 2019. At the time, they said it would be about a 10-year process … to release a new translation of the Bible,” he said, noting it would include Confucian and Buddhist principles, among others. “This new translation … would really support the Communist Party.”
Yet Francis is quite rigid on the aspects of God he likes. Who says God is love if he can change?
STUPID idiot...dope Pope..or ANTI CHRIST. .
The book of Jude warns of this - we are to show mercy but must be vigilant not to fall into the wrong way of thinking in showing said mercy.
Just warming up to announce his support for abortion and performing a gay wedding of two priests.
The Church will not disappear into Bergoglio’s Marxist haze. It has had extended bad times before but rectification may not occur in my lifetime or that of anyone else now alive but it will happen.
Commie popes suck.
Need a new conclave asap.
Agree. I don’t need advice from a man who has disdain for those who disagree with him. I don’t need to hear about being flexible from a man who is an entrenched ideologue.
Soon Francis will propose changing the Ten Commandments.
Yea I want change! I want the Latin Mass back. How about that kind of change?
He is so full of doublespeak.
i’m not even close to being a Holy Roller and I’m even offended by this asshole!!
