[Kolokotronis]

"...the church seems like a field hospital," where the first order of the day "is heal the wounds, not measure people's cholesterol."

Actually, that's a Byzantine inspired comment:

"The Church is a hospital, and not a courtroom, for souls. She does not condemn on behalf of sins, but grants remission of sins." + John Chrysostomos

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

I have never heard this Pope discuss, sin or salvation. Apparently we aren’t supposed to be concerned with such old fashioned concepts, now the enemy is poverty, unemployment, war and hunger.
