"His words will be misconstrued CONSTANTLY by the ignorant...."
That was my comment to a dear friend, while discussing the recent comments by the Pope.
Already, I've been proven correct.
Liberals (and other ignorant people....especially Liberal Catholics) are delighted in what they see as MAJOR move toward Liberalism in the Catholic Church.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
In his comments about entry into heaven NOT requiring organized "Faith"; that agnostics and atheists can also gain entry, the Pope merely points out that "conscience", however that word is expressed, is what must be acted-upon.
Since, irrespective of faith or creed, nationality or upbringing, EVERYONE has a conscience, it remains to choice of every person to either be true to it....or not.
Brilliant, as it is made clear that NO ONE is exempt from personal responsibility.
To his comments about NOT constantly focusing on some of the core issues (abortion, homosexuality, etc), the Pope states VERY clearly that THOSE issues are well-defined by the Church, so constant, incessant focus has the potential of losing focus to broader issues.
Period.
There'll be NO change in the Church's stance on "gay marriage", abortion, etc.
Sorry, Liberals.
Hirota: out.
