The Catholic Church’s mission is to lead people to God and eternal life with Him.
Catholic Church preaches the Truth of Jesus and welcomes both saints and sinners.
Everyone has the opportunity to follow the path to God or not.
We are judged on how we love God and our neighbors.
Somewhere around 2.5 MILLION CATHOLICS crammed into Grant Park on the day Pope John Paul II came to Chicago.
Never seen anything like that before, and I lived in the Chicago area when Pope John Paul II came here. (I was also still a practicing Catholic.)
Want to see the Catholic Church turn-around? Find another Pope John Paul II. He was BELOVED by all, even when he spoke truth to power.
No, his personal beliefs have nothing to do with anything...he will be just fine and once he sees countries like toe U.S. his views will slowly change to a more realistic point of view. He is from, and was raised in a predominantly socialiist country.
Ha. I left for Judaism instead.
I have family done with the Catholic Church.
The Catholics who vote democrat year in and year out in the northeast must LOVE this particular Pope...
My spouse was considering converting to Catholicism, but is now very hesitant because of this Pope. Probably won’t happen.
Personally, I’m offended that he came here, exhorting the US and Europe to open their doors to migrants and illegals, but not a word to the secular and religious leaders of the countries those folks are fleeing, exhorting those ‘leaders’ to change their countries to make them more livable, thus keeping their own people at home. Just remove the need for folks to leave their home countries.
