Error.
He is looking to retire. He said early last year that his time as Pope will be a short one.
I pray that he voluntarily resigns before God "retires" him.
No wonder he is such a good buddy of bammy.
obozo must love this guy. Cover all the bases - how can you go wrong? EXCEPT by tossing out your own belief system and just go with the crowd! He should be tossed out of the Vatican. Has a Pope ever been fired?
No, God doesn’t NEED man, but as the Creator who loves man, he dent Jesus to bridge the gap between God and man. So God initiated the relationship even though he didn’t need it.
The answer to your question is here: http://en.denzingerbergoglio.com/those-who-are-christians-with-the-bible-and-those-who-are-muslims-with-the-koran-with-the-faith-you-have-received-from-your-fathers-there-is-one-single-god-the-same-god/
Wrong! All are CREATED by God. Only regenerated believers are adopted as children of God.
Correct. All are creations but spiritually are not children of God. Thus one must be born of the Spirit as those in Acts 10, having their hearts purified by faith.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (Ephesians 2:2)
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:12-13)
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (Ephesians 1:5)
And what the pope conveyed in that video is similar to what he said elsewhere:
“The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class! We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all! And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace. If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: we will meet one another there.”" - Pope Francis — http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/05/22/pope_at_mass:_culture_of_encounter_is_the_foundation_of_peace/en1-694445
The LORD Jesus Christ who is God, said “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by Me.” (John 14:6)
Whether Allah is really the moon god or not, he is not the God of the Bible, or even an "unknown" ambiguous god that may represent the real one, as instead Allah is a doctrinally defined demon-god who clearly contradicts the Bible. And God is no schizoid. See here and study here by the grace of God.
But yes, the CCC does affirm that Muslims adore/worship the same god/God as Catholics, not matter how they try to spin it. As devout RCS must.
John 14:6 applies. Francis is overruled.

Agree. Someone should buy that fellow a Bible.
I wonder if the pope feels pressure to be politically correct all the time because of the funding. Catholic Charities in the USA receives billions of taxpayer dollars from our government. Much of the funding is for placing immigrants and refugees.
The deal with the funding they receive from our government is that they not discuss their faith. What kind of a deal is that? Catholic Charities performing services where they’re not allowed to talk about their faith? That wouldn’t work for me and my faith.
They’ve received $billions and $billions from our government. My guess is that other international bodies and politically correct groups provide a lot of funding too.
This is backed up by Romans 8 .
Only the regenerated are adopted children of God.
No regeneration , no adoption.
If you are trusting in anything but Jesus blood to cleanse you from your unrighteousness you are not regenerated and God has not put his Spirit upon you.
You might have religion but you are not adopted.
(Romans 8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
(Romans 8:15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
(Romans 8:16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
(Romans 8:17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
How to know God

"Alihah or Allah The idol worshipers encouraged people to reject Mohammed's teachings saying that he has made the gods (alihah) into one deity (Allah), which is nothing but an invention (38:4-7)."
"I believe in God," a rabbi affirms.
"I believe in Jesus Christ," a priest states.
"I believe in Allah," an Islamic leader declares.
"We need a BLENDER!", a TV evangelist blares.
...while others; in a mirror.
I have no idea.
