This is probably not the most incoherent blog I’ve ever read, but it’s right up there.

Pope Francis: I ask the Lord: ‘But Lord, throw a banana peel in front of them, so that they will take a good fall, and feel shame that they are sinners, and so encounter You, [and realize] that You are the Saviour.

Read the headline and knew it was someone with a sense of humor.:)

I kinda wasn't too surprised to hear the pope say he prays that people fall to temptation.

People that follow Christ don't do that. Jesus never prayed that people fall into temptation. No real Christian would.

Such a kind, loving shepherd. /s

He wasn’t joking. The Pope actually asked God to tempt good people to sin.

[Jeff Chandler]

I have no idea what you are talking about, so here's a pope with a pancake on his head =>

Err, not being Catholic but know my bible, I can state that Paul (St. Paul to you) states quite clearly that if anyone says he(she) does not sin, he(she) is a lair. That "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Rom. 3:23) are in need of a Savior, who is Jesus Christ our Lord.

Paul also went further to exclaim that he was "chief among sinners."

Not hearing or reading actual quotes from your Pope, I would state that he is in error, if he is praying for people to "slide into sin" so that they will recognize their need of forgiveness, for we all, including himself, are in need of forgiveness that only Jesus alone can grant.

I pray that others reading this missive realize they are in dangerous waters if they think that their "good deeds" will save them from Hell, for those "good deeds" are nothing but "dirty rags," again, according to Paul (St. Paul.)

We are all sinners..

Does this help?

Did The Pope Blaspheme During Yesterday's Homily?

Or how about this? Does this help? (It's the end of the Our Father).

.... and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

In the interest of charity I take that to mean that people sometimes do not realize they are sinners because they are so proud of their outer life not taking into account the state of their interior life. That we need to be humbled and reminded of how powerless we are against sin without the Grace of Christ. This part concerns me much more.

But the simple people,” the Pope said, “do not err,” despite the words of these doctors of the law, “because the people know, they have a certain ‘flair’ for the faith.”

The simple people with a flair for the faith have been erring right and left and all around the block if ignorance displayed by so many “Catholic” poll takers is entered into evidence. The Pope’s contempt for those who do their best to guard the faith and teach it is alarming.

I dislike that he sets it as an either or position. Either you are a simple person who has a flair for faith without bothering with all that edumacation stuff or you are a rigid prideful doctor of law who has no real love of Christ in your heart. Why can’t a person be both humble in how they approach Christ and wise in faith?

To me it sounds like he is getting ready to ask the Church abandon some major teachings regarding the family.
