Excellent. The Pope tells it like it is. We’re the Church Of Truth, not “sensitivity.”
how about those anglican women priests? their arrogance in showing up before the pope knowingly well that the pope does not approve such a thing, yet they were there. i was astonished to see such a disrespect for the holy father. he had to shake their hands anyway. to me this was a humiliation that the holy father had to go through.
Sorry but when you invite Anglicans to show up they’re going to show up. It was no humiliation, it was basic ecumenism. This is nothing new in Catholic-Anglican relations.
The Pope doesn’t approve of what such thing? Female Anglican priests? There is no such thing. There is no such thing as an Anglican priest, period.
I do understand that. i know that they dont have the pristhood. my point was that she thinks she is and so do the others and so does the world. they all believe they are. by shaking their hands, it sends the wrong message to other women who aspire such a thing. that is when the Church has to face a greater obstacle when fighting against this issue. most of the issues we are facing today is brought in by the Church herself. by the leaders of the Church the way they have been behaving. note that i am condenming the holy father for this but her actions.
Yes, this is teh proper way. but what is happening is that Catholics are playing along wiht heresies. playing along has been the main devotion for Catholics for quite sometime now. this has brought a greater burden for the Church. speaking with both side of the mouthl, saying one thing and doing another.
I love this Pope, God Bless him.
And I liked when the Holy Father said he’s not worried about his reception in Great Britain.
The Church, he said, “does not work for her own ends, she does not work to increase numbers and thus power.”
The Church “serves, not for herself, not to be a strong body, rather she serves to make the proclamation of Jesus Christ accessible, the great truths and great forces of love, reconciling love that appeared in this figure and that always comes from the presence of Jesus Christ.”
Great words from a good and holy man!
Our Lord certainly spoke “truth to power,” and suffered for it. he also spoke truth to the people and many of them left him. Truth is a hard burden to bear.

It may be indeed!!
DITTO !
The Pope is consistent, he says we should love the sinner but not the sin. It applies in all circumstances. It is anti Christian to hate or foster hatred. If you love your neighbour as Jesus said we should you will never be humiliated.
