In front of the young ones with different religions in our SG, Pope F. Has to mention in that way. We won't know that in his heart he's expecting all Catholics/Christians keep our faith in Jesus. He has shown his love to people of various faiths. Let's see what else he does when he's back to Rome.
Even Satanists, Pope, how about Moloch worshippers? Didn't Jesus say something like: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6.
God made us to show forth his goodness and share with us everlasting happiness in Heaven. 25% of the population is Catholic. Hard to believe that an all caring and all loving God would condemn 6,000,000,000 souls to spending eternity burning in hell because they were born into the wrong religion.
He's saying to people of different faiths with respect. I'm a broad minded Catholic. The Pope has no special intention to hurt. In Jesus says in Matt gospel: The kingdom of heaven does not ..... only to those whi do the will of my Father.
Please note it is important that all catholics avoid perdition. Jesus said, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself." On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets also.’ The Gospel of the Lord. Human creatures profane the 1st commandment at their peril.
What heresy?? If you think Pope Francis committed heresy, then you have very very little faith in God. What he meant was all religion leads to doing good and we need to respect all religion. What you expect him to say??
