One man who is out to
open many old "secrets" in the Catholic church is Pope Francis. Some
of the beliefs that are held in the church but contrary to the loving nature of
God are now being set aside by the Pope who was recently name The Man of The
Year by TIME Magazine.....
In his latest revelations, Pope Francis said:
In his latest revelations, Pope Francis said:
"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.”
In a shocking speech
that is reverberating across the world, 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.”
In the last six months, Catholic cardinals, bishops and theologians have been deliberating in the Vatican City, in discussing the future of the church and redefining long-held Catholic doctrines and dogmas. The Third Vatican Council, is the largest and most important since the Second Vatican Council was concluded in 1962.

Pope Francis convened the new council to “finally finish the
work of the Second Vatican Council.”
The Third Vatican Council concluded with Pope Francis announcing
that...
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 judgement. 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!”
A few cardinals in the Catholic church are against Pope Francis'
latest declarations. Watch out for the report.
Biblical Christianity believes this Pope is most likely the false prophet that will appear in the end time. Go here for a fuller understanding why.
