I think what the Holy Father is merely expounding upon the concept of removing the log in your own eye before commenting on the speck in another person's eye.

But the amount of red font that is necessary to fully explain that is very troubling. And I don't know that it's so troubling for the words that Francis, himself, uses...but because we all *know* how those words are going to be twisted.

Bergoglio: Who am I to judge?

The Bible:
“But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.”

So glad there are countless Roman Catholics around that will interpret what the Pope REALLY meant when he commented on this topic!

I’m not Catholic, and I haven’t been too excited about this Pope, but in this case, I don’t see anything that’s unBiblical.

“I think what the Holy Father is merely expounding upon the concept of removing the log in your own eye before commenting on the speck in another person’s eye.”

He without sin,,bla bla bla. We can’t comment, criticize
or complain about the homosexual agenda in the church because
we ourselves are not without sin. Nor can we criticize this
enabling pope for the same reason. Yep that’s pretzel time.
Sounds like a justice Roberts finding. Folks are going to great
extremes to protect this popes big dumb mouth.

I'm a member of the "elect", dude. My ticket's already punched. Done and done. What else am I gonna to do if I don't kill a little time trashing the poor, lost souls who follow Rome?

"Judging" aint a problem for me. I'm going to heaven. Guaranteed.

I have decided to start reminding people who say that we should not judge that, while that is correct, we do have an obligation to teach.

We don’t help any soul get closer to Christ unless we speak up about what the sin in question is, why it is hurtful, and toward whom, and why repentance is possible, necessary and beneficial. Jesus told the adulterer that he did not stone to go forward and not sin any more. If we drop the stones and say nothing, we are only doing half of what Jesus did.

I get a kick out of reading what this pope says...

And he added: “a big heart doesn’t get entangled in other peoples lives, it doesn’t condemn but forgives and forgets” as “God has forgiven and forgotten my sins”.

Now how many of you really believe that??? How many of your were ever taught that??? I would venture to say none of you...

How many of you expect to stand before the judgment seat and when the records are opened, you have a clean slate??? All of your sins are forgiven and forgotten...None of you...

Why does your pope say he will have a clean slate but none of you will???
