Described as “popular theology,” by starting from “the different contexts and concrete situations in which people are inserted” and allowing itself “to be seriously challenged by reality,” theological reflection can aid in the discernment of the “signs of the times,” the pope wrote.

So theology is to be "challenged" and must be reconciled with the "signs of the times" in FrankenChurch?

People loved experience as a starting point, huh?
And it just goes downhill from there.

A good change would be to get rid of this evil to the core, demon masquerading as Pope.

1 Timothy 4:1-5 NASBS
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, [2] by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, [3] men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. [4] For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; [5] for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 NASBS
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, [4] and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

This Pope is gonna have a tough time when he gets to the Pearly Gates. I remember a bible verse stating that there is no greater evil than a Christian leader who purposely leads the flock astray. Pope Frank is gonna be sent to the “Jim Jones” wing of hell.

The "modernist" theologians of the 20th century spoke of God as a metaphor for "ultimate concern".

Evidently ultimate concern is indistinguishable from globalist ruling class interests.

Lot’s of “trans” there, Pope! I also caught that bit about intersectionality. Nice move!

Might be time for the Pope to switch to the United Methodist Conference. They don’t bother with disambiguation over there, and just go straight at adultery, homosexuality, and abortion, etc. Would save the rest of us a lot of time if Francis just admitted it outright.

The Pope of Rome, entrusted with God’s truth, has decided that truth has an expiration, and must be revised by a human.

The Pope knows what he wants.
The question is where he wants it.

Amen! And when this heretical pope dies, another will take his place, yet the Lord lives forever.

Truth is not a *paradigm* that can shift.

Truth does not shift for the world.

The world needs to shift to the Truth.

Disciples to Jesus: “Can we change our approach, we’re taking a beating out there.”

Jesus to disciples: “I dunno, let me get back to you after this trial with Pontius Pilate.”
