The pluralism and the diversity of religions, colour, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings. This divine wisdom is the source from which the right to freedom of belief and the freedom to be different derives.

Wow, just wow. No longer any objective truth.

21] That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. [22] And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one: [23] I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me. [24] Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world. [25] Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me. John Chapter 17

When bowing to Islam in order to get along expect a package delivery from the rear.

This isn’t some off the cuff or mistranslated political statement, what Jorge “Pope Francis” Bergoglio signed today was a declaration of war against God and the Word, Jesus Christ.

This should be a wake up call to all Roman Catholics.

The pluralism and the diversity of religions......are willed by God in His wisdom......

God's permissive will (what God allows to happen) is being conflated and confused with God's positive will (what God desires for mankind). God is one, the true faith is one and there is one salvation which is eternal. All else is error and God does not will error and lies.

The statement should read "The pluralism and the diversity of religions are....permitted by God....". As with everything which Bergoglio touches, confusion and chaos rule. The statement, as writted, appears to be an endorsement of the heresy of indifferentism in spades.

I just wanted to give the “at best” scenario: it’s maybe more bad nuance and fog from him. He could be saying that God “allows” other religions, much like he “allows” evil. He might be trying to reject good/evil dualism Gnostic theology. (I wish I could claim to know one way or another - just throwing it out there)

But as usual, Francis’ lack of clarity is a problem. I can’t remember a pope who caused so much confusion.

I’m not Catholic, I feel sorry for conservative anti-communist FReeeper Catholics for what has taken over their church.

Bergoglio is an apostate and a communist. We on the outside see what he is, why can’t you?

I don’t know what mechanism your church might have for getting rid of him, just do it. Please, please, please.

they will attempt to pretend that Judaism of old still exists, and that Talmudic Judaism is not another false religion

You know, replace "Judaism of old" and "Talmudic Judaism" with "'new testament' chrstianity" and "Summa Theologica Catholicism," and you have something very close to a "Protestant revolt" . . . don't you?

You know, for over six years I read in numerous Catholic magazines and books that one reason Catholics were better than Fundamentalists was that Fundamentalists were old-fashioned, narrow-minded fogies who believed that one must actually be a chrstian to be "saved," while Catholics are broad-minded, tolerant hep cats who realize that the fact the Hebrew Bible never required everyone to be Jewish is a "type" or "shadow" of the fact that nowadays G-d doesn't require everyone to be chrstian, either.

Pass the popcorn! This gun' be GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!
