You are so right. When we truly accept Jesus, we try our best not to sin and if we do, we pray for forgiveness. No one is perfect. I have seen statements by this pope which make me wonder if he is even a Christian. Others have questioned this, too. I was talking about this with a friend who went from being a Catholic to another denomination. She is so much happier being out of Catholicism. I asked her if she had prayed to Mary. She said, “of course.”
Hooray for your friend! And thanks be to God.
