I’m sorry. Those statement do not reflect the teachings of Jesus, in the Bible.

It may make for a nice society. Sure. The Lord does offer everyone, who will hear, a chance to be redeemed, yes.

Everyone is welcomed to follow, that is true.

However..

All people have to decide to follow human teachers, or to follow the word.

This is a perfect example. This man is not taking his lead from the word, but from the world.

We are not to be conformed to the world.

Seriously? I seem to recall Jesus, in Luke 6:27, telling us to "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you."

The Pope is not talking about making "a nice society." He is talking about the way we should show respect, love and grace for others, even for the unbeliever. In that grace-filled encounter is found the opportunity to genuinely share the Gospel.
