Why did he even have to bring up the subject?
“Why did he even have to bring up the subject?”
He’s too consumed by and worried about the opinion of the world. Christ seemed to despise the opinions of “the world”.
If the world hates you, remember it hated me first (Jn 15:18). The Spirit of Truth, which the world cannot receive (Jn 14:17). For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God (1 Cor 3:19). Whoever loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him (1 Jn 2:15).
Francis starts out with a kernel of a good idea. To draw people in irregular marriages and homosexual relationships back to God and to the Church. But if it results in the watering down of truth and confusion, such fruit is not good.
