I think you guys are misunderstanding me. Modernism would be taking that second path that I mentioned, thinking if God is within you, you must be like a god, and can therefore can do whatever you want. The right response would be to eliminate everything that is blocking the true Godly impulse.
And yet Francis has said that people should follow what they believe is good (as opposed to what God believes is good). How is that not making oneself a god?
