Francis The Red does not speak for Jesus Christ.

[Nervous Tick]

I have a nice leatherbound version of the Absolute Truth (red-letter edition) right there on the nightstand.

[Jess Kitting]

Let he who possesses absolute truth cast the first stone.
Hint: It isn't you, Mr. Pope.

[BenLurkin]

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

[Talisker]

"I say this because it is my Church."

Actually, JESUS said to Peter, "Upon this rock I will build MY Church."

[Jeff Chandler]

Facepalm Pope.

[ctdonath2]

“We Catholics have some—and not some, many—who believe they possess the absolute truth”

A hypocritical criticism, given that it’s his job description.

[gusopol3]

The global warming fundamentalist

[El Cid]

Huh, whut?
What do you call the Bible - if not "The Absolute Truth"?
We also follow "The Truth" - the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sounds like this fellow just wants everything to be shades of gray, where we all can lock arms and sing choruses of kumbayhya.

Liking this man less and less every day.

[demshateGod]

No, and since they don’t know anything in the little city they got, maybe they should shut the whole thing down. It seems there’s a presupposition of absolute truth holding that house of cards together.

Doesn't matter. Francis is a modern leftwing Jesuit. he knows better than your old book.

Jesus was a fundamentalist.

( John 14:6 )

[HiTech RedNeck]

If he possesses Jesus then he possesses the Truth (and the Way and the Life). Christ has got to be disappointed in this chap for not recognizing this.

I think he has a point in saying nobody mortal has a body of doctrine that comprises, collectively, the “absolute truth.” That would require knowledge of good and evil in the Edenic sense. But by not pointing people squarely to Christ as the source, he has missed a larger point. That’s what moved Martin Luther. Francis is no Luther.

[marron]

,"We Catholics have some--and not some, many--who believe they possess the absolute truth and go ahead dirtying the other with calumny, with disorientation, and doing evil. They do evil. I say this because it is my Church."
He added that "ideas and false certainties" can replace faith, love, and God.

This certainly can be true. He should name names, if he has the nerve.

[tanknetter]

Global Warming, Capitalism, acquisition of property.

This Pope is just as fundamentalist as those he derides. It’s only that he differs from them on what he’s fundamentalist about.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Glass houses. Stones.

>> Francis is a modern leftwing Jesuit. he knows better than your old book.

OK, then Po-po the Clown can dictate his “truth” to YAHWEH, Creator of the Universe, on the Day of Judgment.

We’ll see where that gets him.

Me, I’ll take my chances with what’s written in my precious old Book here, on the advice of my Advocate, Jesus the CHRIST.
