But is it the biblical Jesus or the Jesus they want to see?
The former.
Pope Francis preaches the Jesus of the Bible. Case CLOSED.
If you are into the Bible, please consider this verse from the Bible:
“2 Timothy 2:23-25
English Standard Version (ESV)
23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant (A)controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And (B)the Lord’s servant[a] must not be quarrelsome but (C)kind to everyone, (D)able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents (E)with gentleness. God (F)may perhaps grant them repentance (G)leading to a knowledge of the truth.”
