More blathering by the new pope who busily promotes the new religion promulgated by Vatican II.

Pope Francis might be righting the wrong that Paul created nearly 2000 years ago. Back to Christ and away from the Pauline religion.

I don’t think that Paul had any intention of joining the leftists that pedestalize homosexuals and their behavior in flagrant disregard of scripture, The Ten Commandments and the tenets that served the Roman Catholic Church well for many centuries.

Idolatry is always the problem. We think the real God isn’t good enough for us.

Paul taught the same faith as Jesus. Even Protestants get this: http://carm.org/questions/other-questions/did-jesus-and-paul-teach-same-thing

No. Paul taught Paul’s version of Christianity. Why were the Jerusalem church and Rome at great odds? Because of Paul’s teachings.

“Even today, there are so many idols, and even today there are so many idolaters, so many who think they are wise. But even among us, among Christians, eh? I’m not speaking about them, I respect them, those who aren’t Christians.”

So Pope Francis respects non-Christian idolaters? It’s just Christians whom he chastises for idol worshipping. How uncharitable he is to non-Christians; no wonder he calls proselytism nonsense.

In front of Fatima statue, Pope Francis entrusts the world to Mary

By Francis X Rocca on Monday, 14 October 2013

“Many in the crowd held small replicas of the crowned statue of Our Lady of Fatima, which had arrived in Rome the previous afternoon on a flight from Lisbon.

An Italian air force helicopter transported the statue, inside an ivory-coloured triangular container resembling a musical instrument case, to Vatican City. The statue was then brought to the residence of retired Pope Benedict XVI at the Mater Ecclesiae monastery, where he briefly venerated the statue in the monastery’s small chapel. Afterwards, Pope Francis welcomed the statue at the Vatican guesthouse where he lives.”

And thank God for that...You think Jesus and Rome were not at odds???

But I do agree that Paul's teaching is definitely at odds with your religion...

Do you believe the Holy Spirit (who inspired the gospel writers) was at odds with the Holy Spirit (who inspired the Apostle Paul to write his epistles)?

What a post by the pope...

Pope Francis: Beware of idolatry and hypocrisy (as he bows down and prays to Mary)

Now that's rich...

“for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give Him thanks” preferring to worship “the creature rather than the creator.”

Worship the creature Mary...Talk about self condemnation...

“But since we all have need to worship – because we have the imprint of God within us – when we do not worship God, we worship creatures.
The critics of Saint Paul, two thousand years ago, went to the idolaters who prostrated themselves before reptiles, birds, and four-legged creatures.
And goddesses such as Diana...

If Saint Paul calls the idolaters foolish, in the day’s Gospel Jesus says the same thing about the hypocrites, in the person of the Pharisees who are scandalized because the Master hadn’t washed as was the norm before sitting down at table.

“You Pharisees!” Jesus replied. “Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil.” And He adds, “But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.”

“Jesus counsels: don’t look at appearances, go by the truth. The plate is the plate, but what is important is what’s on the plate: the meal. But if you are vain, if you are a careerist, if you are ambitious, if you are a person that always puts himself forward or likes to advance yourself, because you think you are perfect, give a little bit of alms and that will heal your hypocrisy.

What a complete perversion of the Scriptures by the top dog of the Catholic Church...

Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Mar 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Mar 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
Mar 7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

A Corbin: A small gift to the church which replaces the obligation of the person to take care of and support his parents...

Luk 11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
Luk 11:40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
Luk 11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. Luk 11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

You pope claims that Jesus says giving alms (money to your Church) will relieve you of your sins...Totally outrageous...Jesus in the relevant scriptures is condemning giving alms (penance) to relieve you of your sin...Amazing...

This from a church that uses beads and statues in place of God.

I think you ought to send that graphic to your pope, and yourself...
