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,
observed.
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.
