Pope Francis, "If Mary is not your Mother, you are an orphan!"
Charisma News ^ | 9/5/2014 | Jennifer LeClaire

Posted on 09/11/2014 11:19:06 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

Pope Francis has been a breath of fresh air for many Catholics seeking greater liberty and a growing concern for conservative Christians who take issue with his comments about homosexuality and other cultural issues.

But the pontiff's latest statement is sparking an uproar from believers around the world. Pope Francis sent a tweet Tuesday that absolutely violates the truth of Scripture:

"The Christian who does not feel that the Virgin Mary is his or her mother is an orphan," Pope Francis tweeted.

As of the time I wrote this column it had been retweeted about 4,000 times and many of the responses were in appropriately unkind. It's not appropriate to attack the pope for his beliefs. It's more appropriate to share the truth...

Yes! :)

See there, JPX2011; it's EASILY to answer some questions when someone decides to do it.


I'm a baptized Christian who professes Christ as Lord and Savior. I won't be sharing in any destruction. Unless, of course, that isn't enough to be saved...

With TWO of you Catholics now agreeing that JESUS alone is sufficient for salvation; I'll go out on a limb and ASSUME (I know...) that it IS the teaching of the Catholic Church.

So you don’t “need” Mary for salvation?

No.

We just NEED her to DRAW us to Jesus.

Luke 18:11
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.


James 2:2-4
2 For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, 3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,” 4 have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

..... don't you in some way need them to know Christ?

Well; if GOD can create a 'mary' with no sin; He can SURELY get the salvation job done by Himself; right?

I spend hours adoring Him at our local chapel.

James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

No, we'd just find out how zealous Catholics are about eating flesh and drinking blood thinking that it gains them heaven.

Who has the authority to define heresies?

GOD; but your chosen religion thinks that only IT is His spokesman to do so now.

This is a fairly benign thread - unlike the usual Catholic bashing threads.

Remember the old woman who put two small coins in the collection and Jesus praised her for giving of her poverty?

The Lord doesn't need opulence and “bling.”

Satan would rather the world see Jesus dead on that cross. Its the last image he wants in the worlds eyes and the Catholic Church has helped in that regard.

The author really doesn’t matter much. We are discussing the information contained in the article. Catholics tell us all the time that even though a priest is a pediphile the Eucharist is still pure. The excoriate the author or a site rather than discuss the information. What hypocrisy.
