I agree.
Here in South Oz today a news reader commented (on radio)that the pope was taking a softer stance on homosexuality unlike his predecessor who said homosexuality was as dangerous as global warming.My first thought was good grief if that were the case the FReligion forum would go into such a meltdown I'd probably be able to see the smoke from here!
The media will blurt out anything that supports the homosexual agenda it seems.I didn't believe it for a second.As you say,he needs to be more media savvy because this issue is like having a lit match on a windy day next to a case of dynamite.
Makes you wonder if Jesus Christ would be 'media savvy' though.Then again He knows ALL men so I guess that answers that.
"Paul fought the good fight (note that he referred to it as a fight)"
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13)
Thanks for your post.You made some good points.
grace and peace
LOL, well Jesus did face a hostile media of sorts. Remember the Pharisee’s asking Jesus if they should pay their taxes? They weren’t looking to publish a paper per se, but they were looking to trap him with a dishonest question. Jesus’ changed the narrative, and made it about doing right by God vs. his opinion. The Pope could probably follow this model, and say something to the effect of “we love all sinners, including me and you, regardless of the particular sin.... just like God does”
