Can you talk about Jesus our Lord and Saviour? Tired of the garbage, of environment, ecumenism, immigrants and other worldly things. if the church leaders cannot talk about Jesus then we are doomed.
Catholic News, could you please get Pope Francis answer to this question for us, the laity, the sheep of his flock: "Do we, lay Catholics, have to believe this Scripture that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Way, Truth, and Life...NO ONE can get to the Father (God), but by Him Jesus. If this is true, as we currently believe it is, as Jesus, Himself said this, then how can ecumenism be part of your leadership of us Catholics? Further, Jesus, Himself said: "Go out to all the ends of the earth to proclaim the good news and to baptize all, and thus to save as many as come to Him." We are CONFUSED as ecumenism is directly contrary to Jesus teaching. Can Pope Francis please spell out clearly for us laity what is his stand on these CONFUSIONS and not to talk in metaphors, like this is a journey and we walk together in peace and harmony etc. Etc.....all sweet, palatable, talk, but not centered in Jesus, but in mankind. Not good. We have been CONFUSED.
Yes exactly.. when the system isn't right, RUN away from it... The Bible describes the catholic church as the whore of Babylon drunk with the blood of the saints... Do you know about the Roman catholic inquisition? It's a surprise to me that many haven't heard about it.. it's worth looking into
His Holiness is not saying anything contrary to Mark's gospel, but it is understandable to be confused. The thrust of your question lies in how a Christian at once proclaims the good news of Christ while also allowing others to worship as they are? The answer that his holiness gave equates to this: Christ is the truth. The Church is the truth. But we are all in different places in regards to that truth. Life is a pilgrimage for us all, and the way to Christ is not done by intellectualizing Him. It is done by walking the path. One step at a time. One day at a time, and most importantly, walking it together. Imagine your parents made a trust fund for you and your siblings, but because of the simple way your family lives your siblings believe you are poor, while you actually saw the trust fund with your own eyes. You first try to tell your siblings that you're actually rich, but they don't believe you. So you bring them a receipt, but they still don't believe you. " If we are rich, why are we living like this?" What can you do? You decide to wait, walking with them along in your lives knowing the trust fund has you all covered. This trust fund is the salvation of Christ. Everyone is covered, some just know it now while others will figure it out eventually... Your brothers and sisters outside of the church are still your brothers and sisters, and your quiet actions and simple presence are the greatest evangelical tools for both you and them. It is not about going and trying to convince them with your words or your intellect. It is only through walking the path with them on this pilgrimage of life, where time and catalyst will converge to reveal the truth with every step that they will one day recognize their own salvation through Christ.

Despite our divergent interpretations of the Bible regarding Jesus Christ's life and guidance on how to live, we share a common faith in Him as Christians. This unity binds us together, even as we attend different churches.
You can have all the "theology" in the world while understanding that the greatest gift on earth is God's "love".On our journey realising our "love" for each other (once, actually commanded by God), inevitably will enable us to commend our differences to the worker of all miracles, God, and thus, present and former problems will be solved! Alleluia!🎶🎶🎶In explaining this "ecumenical future miracle" , together, while waiting on such wondrous fruits, why don't we tell and encourage ALL political governments to put in order a fairer economical work/ rest, situation etc.,! That way, I assume Jesus might then say "we will not always have the poor!" and thus life everywhere on earth would be "naturally" fairer?Agreed? 🍀❤️🍀
The world is coming to an end you cannot keep god from fullfilling the prophesy of revelations . the pope is the very antichrist he is replacing him with a one world religion and nobody goes to the father(God) unless they go thru jesus (yahua). Why do you think there is so much pedophillia in your church ? Its because your listening to sermons of demons and the devil himself ! Open your eyes the bible and God doesnt lie ,but the man you call pope is the biggest liar walking on earth and full of the most demons! Investigate yourself what a jesuits job is here on earth. It isnt for good but of pure evil and there goal is for everyone to worship satan the beast
Thank you, Pope Francis and may we always "help each other" on the journey , realising the "theological" Teaching of God's awesome Love! Praise the Lord! Amen
When pope Francis said don't proselytise you need to understand he means people should be inspired by seeing so they form to their own peace and identity and bring their gifts to god's use etc he does not speak great English people looking to rip the church in two (media guru's)jump on everything he says and poisen it ...it's a sin to divide the Church in such a way
It means that Catholics are becoming like protestant eventually allowing women and gay to be ordained in the priestly ministry. If Vatican II is effective why we are loosing Catholics congregates in The past decades? AS JESUS SAID..."But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. (Mt. 24:13)
As a Syrian Orthodox this confuses me, he is not in favour of ecumenism.. ☹️😞... But still we know that at the end we will meet because we are worshipping the same God... The real Christian way is the one that binds and shows that everyone is equal.. Not matter if u are Catholic, Orthodox, or evangelist... I will still looking and calling myself as a follower of Jesus (who's baptised in a Christian church) rather being called this Christian or that Christian.
Despite our divergent interpretations of the Bible regarding Jesus Christ's life and guidance on how to live, we share a common faith in Him as Christians. This unity binds us together, even as we attend different churches and the ecumenical meeting is one of the ways to communicate into each several Christian religion
