Vatican -
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:
"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.
