Did the Pope really say this?

[wnlight]

I cannot believe that Pope Francis said this and is still alive. I left the Catholic church back in the 50s when I was 12 years old. I felt at odds with their divisionism ways. (Eventually, I left all churches for similar reasons.)

"Subject: Teachings of Pope Francis"
"Pope Francis has captured the attention of the world with his simple ways, humbleness, and love for the poor and sick. Here are some of his reported pronouncements.
Pope Francis declared that: “All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children.
Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God. Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas.
The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God."
Catholicism is now a “modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes. The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well, and redeems his own soul, becoming an active participant in the redemption of humanity.”
One statement in the Pope’s speech has sent traditionalists into a fit of confusion and hysteria ... “God is changing and evolving as we are, for God lives in us and in our hearts. When we spread love and kindness in the world, we touch our own divinity and recognize it.
The Bible is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works, some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or judgment. The time has come to see these verses as later interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth, which otherwise radiates through scripture.
In accordance with our new understanding, we will begin to ordain women as cardinals, bishops and priests. In the future, it is my hope that we will have a woman pope one day. Let no door be closed to women that is open to men!”
(Pope Francis, Sep 2013)

Where did you find this wnlight? I highly doubt Pope Francis said this. Even to himself.

[East Sun]

IMO This is a part of the New World Order agenda that he is promoting.

It reeks of the same old control of all people that has been in effect for

thousands of years.

To my knowledge, Pope Francis has NEVER said anything about ordaining women nor of the possibility one might ever become Pope.

I did read that he is taking out a couple of the ten commandments and adding a couple new ones that are more tolerant about gays:

Pope Francis: God Has Instructed Me to Revise the Ten Commandments
by R. HOBBUS J.D.

GUAYAQUIL, Ec. – Pope Francis kicked off the start of a three-nation trip across South America today with his first mass, with over a million Ecuadorians in attendance, in the coastal city of Guayaquil. Delivering the mass in Spanish, the Pope spoke about the importance of family in modern society, saying, “It needs to be helped and strengthened, lest we lose our proper sense of the services which society as a whole provides.”

During his sermon, Pope Francis announced to Christians around the world that God had called upon him, instructing him “to revise the most sacred of texts, the Ten Commandments.” Given to the Israelites by God himself at Mount Sinai, the Commandments include instructions for worship and list several prohibited practices.

Pope Francis said Christians around the world are “faced with ever-increasing temptations brought on by the evils of modern society.” The Pope said the updated Commandments reflect the changing times and include some minor rewording of the existing rules as well as the addition of two new Commandments.

The Fourth Commandment, which advocates that proper respect be shown towards one’s parents, has been reworded in order to include children raised by same-sex parents. Pope Francis said the Seventh Commandment, prohibiting adultery and, among other things, homosexuality, has been removed entirely, as instructed by God, in order to extend “God’s grace to all His children.”

Addressing the inclusion of the new Commandments, which bring the total number to eleven, Pope Francis praised the rapid growth of technology in the digital age but said “progress comes at a price.” The new Fifth Commandment, which replaces the prohibition of adultery, forbids all aspects of genetic engineering and bans the consumption of genetically modified foods.

Lastly, the Eleventh Commandment disallows personal idolization and the glorification of one’s self over God. Using the Kardashians, a highly publicized celebrity family, as an example, Pope Francis said, “Selfies are an abomination in the eyes of our Lord.”

A spokesman for the Vatican, Father Federico Lombardi, said the Eleven Commandments are currently being etched into marble by an Italian sculptor and, upon completion, will be unveiled to the world in Saint Peter’s Square following an internationally televised mass.

These are great changes in their own right but giving more power to women wasn't part of these planned changes. That part to me raised a red flag. The Catholic Church is still taking a hard line as far as ordaining women and certainly have no intention to have a women as Pope. I'm surprised the paper this was written on didn't burst into flames at the very idea

This is also my opinion. They can and will say and do anything to keep people on their grip. And it is not like they are or have been the epitome of honesty. Sooo...

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets

this being said by christians messenger, does that mean what the pope is saying in darla's quotes is that he is a practicing jew? Why talk the 10 when it is trumped by the 2?

...that being said, if Jesus was a myth, what is wrong with following the 2 commandments he gave? I find it funny the "vicar of christ" does not put it more simply the way Jesus did , regardless of him being a histroical figure or not.....

And no one is even questioning his schizophrenia?

[wnlight]

Sorry, I should have included my source. it is the subject of a presentation by Father Patrick Garrett, Pastor, Saints Simon and Jude Catholic Church of the Woodlands, Texas. He quotes "Pope Francis, Sep 2013" I no longer attend any activities of the Roman Catholic Church, but I personally know the presentation organiser.

Separation of church and project Avalon... Religion vs spirituality... Parable...

[Positive Vibe Merchant]

Beware of the Pope...

This is moving away from traditional religion, so to bring about the world religion... This is one of the final parts of the puzzle. Be very careful where you place your trust and read between the lines.
