"We cannot love God without loving our brothers and sisters; we cannot love God outside of the Church; we cannot be in communion with God without being in the Church; and we cannot be good Christians if we are not with all those who seek to follow the Lord Jesus, as one people, one body. And this is the Church."Pope Francis

Bravo! For once, Pope Francis speaks like his pre-VCII predecessors.

Papa! Papa! Papa! Bravo! Ladies and gentleman, we have a pope, and God bless him!

I like it too, but I always want more. Less contradictions, more pre-VII talk.

For example, he says here one can not love God outside of the Church, but then VII states that Muslims adore the same God as we do. And he prays with those he says can not love God outside of the Church.

When he states that it is "dangerous and harmful". Clearly tell all other denominations and all other religions WHY: Because Outside the Catholic Church there is No Salvation.

If you're going to ruffle feathers, then ruffle feathers.
