247notire: All hail d pope. Be vry careful too because d vatican may want u to go d way of Johnpaul d 1st. Beware of murderers.

tobechi20: I fear this pope

Symphony007: Pope francis, keep iberalising the church and face the tearing apart of the church just like anglicans are torn between africa and western. And mind you, the college of carinals and emeritus pope benedict won'nt stand by and watch this. What has'nt happened in the vatican for centuries will play out.

caseless: and u think he's not being submissive 2 avoid being shot in d head? He's acting according 2 d dictate of the vetican. We all knw how many attacks j. Paul survived simply becos of his stance on some issues. So, if u wanna stay wth God, stay wth him and not becos of what he gives or takes.

reganvida:

Are you saying the whole vatican is in support of this sudden wholesale changes to the doctrines of the Roman Catholics which has been there for cenutries?

caseless: it appear so; how come no one has risen up 2 challenge his adulteration of doctrine?
Dz controversy popping pope seems to b enjoying some in-house support 2 do what he's doing. Can u defend d vetican that watched arinze being shortchanged when we thought a nigerian was gonna attain tha highest position there?

Symphony007: nobody has challenged pope francis because he has not implemented any of his utterances. When he tries to implement his radical changes, then the cracks in the church will become visible. By the way, when asked about pope francis performance in office so far, the catholic archbishop of boston, a cardinal, replied "disappionting". Watch out for part 2.

Ubenedictus: actually all he has said so far hasn't contradicted any teaching of the catholic church. He is totally in line with catholic teaching, all this judging just makes you guys seem like amatures in catholic dogma

Symphony007: he called speaking out against abortion by the church as "small minded"....mr catholic dogma luminary, so abortion is now in line with catholic principles?

Ubenedictus: please quote the whole response

For now,the Pope is just expressing his views.Non of what he said has been passed into law in the vatican so i guess it will be quite early to question the absence of opposition in the vatican.Coming to the issue of Cardinal Arinze,its no secret that the vatican elections is one of the most secretive elections on earth. We will never know if he was really cheated in d election or not.

Syncan: I actually agree with the Pope. He said the most important teaching of the church is " Jesus has saved you". This is what the church was commisioned to do, this is what the church ( in following the dictates of the media) is almost forgetting to do. What converts is grace and not discipline. Discipline can only aid in the guarding of inherent grace, hence we should focus on gaining the grace more, while not forgetting discipline. One has to read the full text to understand his teaching. I have come to realise that selected portions are often taken out of his speech as stand alone, hence distorting his message and insinuating new meanings. He is bold, his views may not be entirely refined as yet, but he is waking up theologians from their slumber surely, for they are becoming more like the pharisees and mosaic laws. Zeal for his flock is driving the shepherd to take controlled risks. Its a call for catholics to read the CCC and witness the beauty that lies there in.

caseless: expressing his views? Yea..he's free 2 d this, but we must not 4get d consequences and ripple effect dz is gonna have on the church and adherents. They need somebody 2 kickstart it, then somebody could come in d future and implement it and reference wl b made 2 pope francis and his crass ideas.
On arinze, have u asked urself why d selection mostly favour europeans? Then that tels u that there is nothing special about d selection if it favor one particular region.

caseless: those pushing 2 win people back 2 catholic fold by adulterating d doctrine, jst needed dz pope 2 kickstart on this note , then somebody can implement it in d future. The man is achieving his aim, i guess dz is why he was picked.

reganvida:

Wow!! You mean the views of Pope Francis is part of a bigger picture? Sort of a conspiracy to effect radical changes in the Catholic church? Well time will prove you either right or wrong. As regards to Cardinal Arinze and the European favoritism,the answer is right before you.Pope Francis is not from Europe.
