ZENIT has published an English translation of Pope Francis' interview with "Credere", the official magazine of the Jubilee of Mercy. We are posting the most important sections here; emphases ours. At the end of this article is our commentary on the extreme danger posed to the Catholic faith by the Pope's assertion that God is "Father and Mother". And then there is the, by now, depressingly familiar line about how the Church "excludes people" and is too legalistic, following a "hard line", "stressing only the moral rules."
The Italian text of the interview was published on the Vatican website yesterday, December 2, 2015. We repeat: the original of this interview is on the VATICAN WEBSITE.

Let me be the first: Anathema!

when will Frankie...suggest that we pray to GAIA at least once a week???
So you subscribe the Heresy that Christ is not simultaneously God and Man?
Does this guy ever talk about Jesus, you know, The Christ, the Reason for the Season and all?
Lady Julian of Norwich too.
300,000 denominations under one roof.
Perhaps he thinks that Saint Pancake has been elevated to Godhead.
Have you ever heard of the perfect prayer that Jesus Christ taught his disciples?
It’s called the “Pater Noster”; not the “Pater et Mater Noster”.
How many times did Jesus Christ refer to God, the Father, in the feminine sense?
How many times did Jesus Christ refer to God, The Holy Ghost, the Paraclete” in the feminine sense?
And how many times did Jesus Christ refer to Himself, the Second Person (i.e., God) of the Holy Trinity, in the feminine sense?
In saying God is Father and Mother, Bergoglio reveals himself an occultist. It is basic belief to those in the occult: the pagan mystery religions, Gnosticism, Kabbalah, the eastern religions (Hinduism, etc.), Freemasonry, New Age, and Wicca.
Do Jesuits believe this also? I don’t know, but we know he is a Jesuit. Where he has gotten this belief from somebody needs to research.
His words truly hurt my heart.
I was wondering that myself. I find the Popes ”A new humanism in Jesus Christ” to be disturbing.
Pope Francis: A new humanism in Christ Jesus
This Pope determined that the Church become a cult. Scientology seems just around the corner.
In my experience, I believe that most, but not all, living Jesuits don’t believe the Catholic Faith that St Ignatius Loyola believed. Bergoglio is not an exception to my “most” category.
O IMMACULATE Virgin! Mary, conceived without sin! Remember, thou was miraculously preserved from even the shadow of sin, because thou was destined to become not only the Mother of God, but also the mother, the refuge, and the advocate of man; penetrated, therefore, with the most lively confidence in thy never-failing intercession, we most humbly implore thee to look with favor upon the intentions of this novena, and to obtain for us the graces and favors we request.
(Here form your petitions.)
Thou knows, O Mary, how often our hearts are the sanctuaries of God, Who abhors iniquity. Obtain for us, then, that Angelic purity which was thy favorite virtue, that purity of heart which will attach us to God alone, and that purity of intention which will consecrate every thought, word, and action to His greater glory. Obtain also for us a constant spirit of prayer and self-denial, that we may recover by penance that innocence which we have lost by sin, and at length attain safely to that blessed abode of the Saints, where nothing defiled can enter.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Immaculate Conception Novena Nov 29 - Dec 7
Would he kindly go away?
Francis certainly appears to be a Gaia worshipper with his focus on "Mother Earth".
"Peace, justice and the preservation of creation are three absolutely interconnected themes, which cannot be separated and treated individually without once again falling into reductionism".[70] Everything is related, and we human beings are united as brothers and sisters on a wonderful pilgrimage, woven together by the love God has for each of his creatures and which also unites us in fond affection with brother sun, sister moon, brother river and mother earth. Laudato Si.
And now for the Eighth Sacrament, newly given to us by Bergoglio:
[17] As Christians, we are also called "to accept the world as a sacrament of communion, as a way of sharing with God and our neighbours on a global scale". Laudato Si.
Never thought of it before. If you believe in an afterlife,
is your dead-and-gone-to-heaven form fully human? Or is it a spiritual thing? I’d opt for the latter. In which case,
if Jesus was human/divine while he walked the earth, did he remain fully human after the resurrection? And if you say yes, and Jesus is part of the Trinity, does that make God partially human, too? If not, how can God be totally unhuman when part of the Trinity is human?
Is the Pope Catholic?
