    • “There is no salvation in ideas, there is no salvation in good will, in the desire to be good,” Pope Francis said in his homily at morning Mass on April 4.
    “Salvation comes only from the Cross,” the Pope said. He compared the Cross of Christ with the bronze serpent that Moses set up, noting that only those Hebrews who looked up to the serpent were healed. Jesus, the Holy Father said, is “able to take all the poison of sin and heal us.”
    The Cross, the Pope continued, should not be treated as a badge of membership or as a decoration. It should be carried on the shoulder, he said; and the faithful should be prepared to take on its weight.

    • “Jesus has brought into the world a new hope,” Pope Francis said at his general audience on April 12, contrasting Christian hope with other sorts of hope.
    The Holy Father reminded his audience that the people who greeted Jesus on his triumphal entry into Jerusalem “placed many hopes in Jesus,” including hopes for “manifestations of power and even freedom from enemy occupiers.” Those hopes were dashed, he continued. “The earthly hopes of those people fell down before the Cross.”
    “But we believe that it is precisely in the Crucified that our hope is reborn,” the Pope said. He explained this hope by referring to Christ’s parable of the seed of grain. Jesus “made Himself very small, like an ear of grain,” the Pope said. “Right there, at the most extreme point to which he was lowered—which is also the highest point of love—hope germinated.”
    Pope Francis concluded that “this is why with Jesus our darkness can become light, every defeat can become victory, every disappointment can become hope.” Christian hope, he observed, differs from the hope of the world, the hope for material things and for power, because “gradually we discover that the winning way of living is that of the seed, that of humble love.”
    The Pontiff remarked the hope comes from the germination of the seed, which in turn comes when the faithful accept their own crosses. He said, however: “The cross is the obligatory passage, but it is not the destination; it is a passage: the destination is glory, as Easter shows us.

    • Pope Francis presided at the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion in St. Peter’s Basilic on Good Friday.
    As is customary, the preacher of the papal household, Father Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap, preached the homily; it was entitled “O crux ave, spes unica: the cross, the only hope of the world.”

    Any Eastern Orthodox or Protestant can say the same thing, yet it does not save them. Unless he converts, it will not save Bergolio.

    You are attempting to highlight some edible seeds in a pile of dung.

    That "truth" could have been said by any heretic or schismatic. Of what good is it, if it leads souls to follow the conciliar religion, his relativist, progressivist religion? I could quote Luther sayings 100's of Catholic statements. 
    What is your objective in highlighting something that "could be" interpreted in a Catholic light (which he for sure does not believe in a Catholic way)?

    Pope Francis is still the Pope of the Catholic Church. When he speaks of the hope and salvation that comes to us from the Cross it should be mentioned.

    "Pope" Francis "appears" to be the pope of the Church, but by his deeds he is an anti-christ, the devil could not have done a better job of destroying the Church than John XXIII, Paul VI, JPII, B-16 and now Bergolio, all the same dung in different packaging.

    He is also the Pope who says that we are saved by the Cross. When he was in Mexico he told the young people that the real hope of Mexico is not them but rather it is in Jesus. Jesus on the Cross is our only hope in a world gone crazy.

    When he was with the Muslims, Hindus and other devil worshipers, did he (or Paul VI, JPII, B-16) say the same thing to them? NEVER!

    Saying that the "real hope of Mexico is not them but rather it is in Jesus", means what? If he explained that, then we would have a real sermon, but they never do, not JPII, not B-16, not Bergolio. How long can NovusOrdites cling to their emotions, symbolism without substance, VatII popes sayings that each person can fill in according to their own desires? The few Catholics that still go to mass in the Novus Ordo (over 90% of Catholics do not go to mass),NovusOrdites, are women and men possessed by a feminine emotional spirit.
