Man does not save souls.

While it is true that Man does not save souls, there is still the call to evangelism. Evangelism is the preaching of the Christian Gospel or the practice of relaying information about a particular set of beliefs to others with the intention of conversion.

As far as I can see, this Pope really doesn't do that.

The pope doesn’t save souls.

He doesn’t save anyone.

Only Jesus does and can do that.

There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved....(Acts 4:12 spoken by Peter)

What an unbelievable misunderstanding of what the church is about and what redemption is about.

But then again, I'm not surprised.......

These people are living in sin and will go to hell if they are not corrected before they die.

The last time I checked, we all live in sin. I am fine with fags going to church. I am not fine with the church saying being a fag is ok and not a sin. I am not fine with priests that are fags. I don't think the Pope is advocating condoning sin. I do have problems with the social justice crap the is creeping into the Catholic church and many other denominations. BTW, I much rather see fags be welcomed into the Catholic church than into the Episcopalian church. They won't find any help there. BTW, I am an Episcopalian, but very catholic (lower case 'c') in my beliefs.

And Catholics berate us with that passage and "bring it to the church" trying to prove the church is who disciplines when that whole passage is about not allowing a person persisting in sin to meet with them after having been admonished. Now they are supposed to let them all stay because "the church was MEANT to house sinners"?

No, the church is not meant to house sinners. It's meant to house those who have repented from sin.

XXY is Klinefelter’s syndrome and these people are considered males. They are effete males with small genitals, wide hips and gynecomastia.

seriously. Evangelicals are living in sin and will go to hell if not corrected. Any Roman catholics that get to heaven are going to be really surprised to find some of us protestants there......

nope...those who have repented from sin have listened to the Catholic church and have thus repented....those who have not yet repented still need the church as do those who have left the church.

'THIS' Pope isn't about anything other then Diplomacy and more of it.....he's 'the religious figurehead' doing the work of the Globalist to bring the religions together in this "Unity" push they're all clap trapping about......

He's a Jesuit which sweentens the Globalist Agenda all the more....masters at appearing gracious and kind, but are highly political and believe they have a major role in International Diplomacy and Politics...with the determination that will be so.

This is why we will see Francis more and more involved in the politics of countries, either out in front or working it behind the scenes.

Looking ahead shortly Francis will be speaking at the UN as an offical Diplomate.....ever wonder why the Pope, out of all other religions, is given an audiance at the UN and in our Congress?...The US doesn't doesn't conduct high level diplomacy with any other religion.....we even have an Embassy at the Vatican and according to the Ambassador to the Vatican he states.." it's all about "Foreign Policy".

It's because they know the Pope can highly influence over 1.2 billion people world wide...not to mention the "spys" they can use under the cloak of Priestly garments etc. in all countries....they even have a phrase for it..."The Great Listening Post".

It was'nt til Kennedy that the US allowed this sort of thing with the Vatican, in fact til then highly opposed... as our politicians determined it was against the Ammendment. But 8 months after Kennedy's election he was visiting the Vatican officially....Interesting the Muslim nation saw this event as the beginnings of a New Crusade.

But isn't it Interesting the Vatican City has the highest crime rate for the number of it's citizens in the world!

Let's see now...the church is not for sinners.....it is reserved as a social hangout for people who have left the true church and decided to do things their own way....Now I get it...once that you call yourself "born again" you have a nice local congregation to hang out with....all those liars, sodomists, divorcees, thieves, whatever can fend for themselves....Christ came to entertain us, not save those sinners...........maybe not.

“Pope Francis’ concept of the Catholic Church is a welcoming home for all the Lesbians, Gays, Transgenders, Bisexual, divorced and remarried, Evangelicals and atheists.”

SINNERS!!!!!!!

Why let them into a church?????
