The face of the Church and the door to the Church has to be Jesus Christ, NOT mere mortals who make themselves a KGB force whose mission is to form a select group in a hunkered-down enclave of "orthodox", self-righteous people focused on man-made religion and polishing their halos because of their exagerrated piety. Their proud piety makes them no more acceptable in God's presence than any other slob who believes in Christ and clings to Him for forgiveness and salvation in eternity. Human pride and false pretenses about it are always a ticket to downward spiral, beginning with Adam and Eve. |

Kitty, "slob who believes in Christ and clings to Him for forgiveness and salvation in eternity." ps God bless the Pope for carefully expressing love for sinners. I think he knows he's one of us; he's only human. |

Christ's Passion has evoked passionate responses for thousands of years. Thank goodness the pope is not dispassionate. |

i don't think any popes recently have implied that they were not sinners...Pope Francis is getting to the heart of what Christianity requires, love for ALL of our fellow human beings. this does not imply that he thinks abortion or same-sex marriage is desirable or biblical, he just wisely wants us to focus on loving one another. i love the part about asking a wounded man on a battlefield if his sugar is high! there is so much more to every person than their sins. please find something to love about me and i will try to do the same for everyone else.

In my view the Pope took the politically correct path and it is exactly why society will never have the serious conversation it needs on these complex issues. I mean who is going to argue with "Jesus loves us all" On the other hand the bible explains the genesis of sodomy So who you gonna believe?
M prediction is if this Pope continues down the same path may well create a second Reformation |

Raised
One time a member of the church where my father was a preacher asked our mother why she was a member of our denomination and religion and my mother said "because I was raised that way". I think that speaks a thousand. We are all raised in a religion and in 99.999% of the cases that is what we follow for our lives. In some cases people don't actually know why they are different from another denomination. We should all respect the other person's religion and remember to follow the golden rule.
