“You have actually concatenated two paragraphs and selectively quoted the Pope into one paragraph and you have purposely left out the context of Our Lord’s words as quoted by the Pope - He was speaking about this in the previous paragraph:”
I’m still missing the “logical” explanation for “how this is so.” You can probably start with explaining what the Pope meant, and what you think I said he meant, and explain how they do not converge.
Secondly, what I am asserting is that you have purposely left many things out of your quoting of the Pope to make it justify your argument and to intimate that he was stating that we would meet atheists in heaven as if they were saved thru some sort of ignorance or work of themself. The Pope is not stating that at all. What he is asking people to do, or suggesting that people, even non-believers do, is to do good as a step to getting on the right path where we can meet and both help each other move forward towards Heaven.
I am not the Pope nor do I claim to be my own Pope so only he knows what he means entirely but that is what I get out of it when read in its entirety.
As for yourself, you should know what you were trying to state and if I misunderstood your thought or argument in the piecemeal paragraph by the Pope that you posted then correct me.
