Catholic church is Pope Francis. Some of the beliefs that are
held in the church but contrary to the loving nature of God are
now being set aside by the Pope who was recently name The
Man of The Year by TIME Magazine.....
In his latest revelations, Pope Francis said:
"Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful
contemplation we have gained a new understanding of
certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal
hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible
with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a
friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn
but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve,
we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor
for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be
united in love with God."
In a shocking speech that is reverberating across the world,
Pope Francis declared that:
"All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of
all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is
there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it
deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge.
Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our
church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for
the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals,
even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all
love and worship the same God."
In the last six months, Catholic cardinals, bishops and
theologians have been deliberating in the Vatican City, in
discussing the future of the church and redefining long-held
Catholic doctrines and dogmas. The Third Vatican Council, is
the largest and most important since the Second Vatican
Council was concluded in 1962.
Pope Francis convened the new council to "finally finish the
work of the Second Vatican Council."
The Third Vatican Council concluded with Pope Francis
announcing that...
Catholicism is now a "modern and reasonable religion, which
has undergone evolutionary changes. The time has come to
abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious
truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in
stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of
love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well, and
redeems his own soul, becoming an active participant in the
redemption of humanity."
One statement in the Pope's speech has sent traditionalists
into a fit of confusion and hysteria...
"God is changing and evolving as we are, For God lives in us
and in our hearts. When we spread love and kindness in the
world, we touch our own divinity and recognize it. The Bible
is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works,
some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or
judgement. The time has come to see these verses as later
interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth,
which otherwise radiates through scripture. In accordance
with our new understanding, we will begin to ordain women
as cardinals, bishops and priests. In the future, it is my hope
that we will have a woman pope one day. Let no door be
closed to women that is open to men!"
A few cardinals in the Catholic church are against Pope
Francis' latest declarations. Watch out for the report.
