Yep, easily the worst pope in my lifetime. The Joel Osteen jab is particularly on the mark. This list is the same pabulum.

We can’t teach without opening our mouths.

Big difference between teaching and baptizing

and proselytism.

5. Sundays should be holidays. Workers should have Sundays off because "Sunday is for family," he said.

What about vanity and the destructive evil of envy it leads to? That’s the biggest source of sorrow in modern life. Constantly comparing oneself to others never leads to happiness. Leftists can never admit their primary motivator in life is a cardinal sin.

Envy is the whole basis of Communism. That’s why it resulted in the deaths of millions.

Oh Goody. Another day, another load of BS from Frank. Still waiting to hear him begin speaking out about the slaughter of Christians in the Middle East and Africa, or does that come under his live and let live philosophy?

1. “Live and let live.”
2. “Be giving of yourself to others.”
3. “Proceed calmly” in life.
4. “A healthy sense of leisure.”
5. Sundays should be holidays.
6. Find innovative ways to create dignified jobs for young people.
7. Respect and take care of nature.
8. Stop being negative.
9. Don’t proselytize; respect others’ beliefs.
10. Work for peace.

The Pope needs to get out of the Vatican more often.

Well, there you have it.

All the items on that list are directly from the “teachings” of the secular humanism of our illustrious globalists.

Every single item on the list is designed to be fine with globalists, the IRS, NSA, etc.

As long as a Church is corrupted and serving a corrupt government, the corrupt government will be fine with that Church.

Once a Church makes that its bed, it then has to lie in it.

When a Church effectively tosses the Bible aside and tells its congregants to obey to the Church leadership’s teachings over and above obeying Scripture, it gets taken over from within by the darkness of corrupt souls of fallen man. It then becomes a cult like all false religions.

Religious cults always tell their members to obey the cult leaders over and above anything or anyone else.

True Churches tell their members to obey the Word of God, the Bible, over and above anything or anyone else.

And envy is an unfortunate side effect of vanity. All evil, including communism, ultimately springs from vanity. Narcissism, an extreme form of vanity, is a defensive response to some other mental pain, such as being abandoned by a father, then later a mother. It's literally true that leftism is a mental disorder. There is no cure.

Every day should be for family, not just Sunday. Just like every day should be Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and Valentine’s Day.

Eleanor Roosevelt made the comment that "Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product".
An old Reader's Digest statement is even more apropos, "Happiness is the direct result of trying to make someone else happy".

“We can’t teach without opening our mouths.”

True. We believers have been blanded to death! “Don’t put out the Spirit’s fire...” If the stones would cry out, why can’t we? We have The Truth, living in our very hearts, by the Holy Spirit.

Father, empower us to be very bold in proclaiming your Gospel. In the name of Jesus! Amen.

Nothing about God?

Really?

What a joke.
