From redpillnews.com........Pope "I wish he would get trampled by some reindeer" Francis at his usual
Pope Francis has blasted conservative Christians who pursue their faith too
“rigidly” cautioning their
“rigid outlook” is developing a
“minefield of misunderstanding and hatred.”The head of the Catholic Church made the remarks he spoke honestly to cardinals, bishops, priests and members of staff in the Sala Clementina on Saturday in the Apostolic Palace, Vatican City for his annual Christmas address.
Other church leaders were warned by the pope that the church doesn’t enjoy the authority it once did anymore, proposing they should stimulate followers to be more inclusive of other religions.
This year perceived the papacy rocked by historical sex abuse claims and financial public embarrassment.
The liberal pope’s leadership has been confronted after he called for married men to be ordained as priests.
Pope Francis also caused atrocity between more conservative Vatican official when he was noticed with a
“pagan” statue of a pregnant woman during the time in the Amazon.
At the time of his Christmas message, that was also delivered at the Paul VI Hall, Vatican City, the Pope also requested Vatican bureaucrats to think about embracing change.
“Today we are no longer the only ones that produce culture, no longer the first nor the most listened to,” he announced.
“The faith in Europe and in much of the West is no longer an obvious presumption but is often denied, derided, marginalized and ridiculed. Here we have to beware of the temptation of assuming a rigid outlook.”“Rigidity that is born from fear of change and ends up disseminating stakes and obstacles in the ground of the common good, turning it into a minefield of misunderstanding and hatred.”He brought to mind like he did in the past, that people who take rigid positions are often using them to cover their own problems, scandals or
“imbalances.”“Rigidity and imbalance fuel one another in a vicious circle,” he declared.
“And these days, the temptation to rigidity has become so apparent.”Francis’s message came into view aimed at conservative and traditionalist Christians, including inside the Vatican Curia, who have voiced developing larger opposition to his progressive-minded papacy.
Traditionalist Catholics have
“attacked” Francis’s emphasis on mercy and open mindedness to doctrinal wiggle room on problems like sacraments for divorced and civilly remarried Catholics.
They also strongly judged his newborn synod on the Amazon, which called for the ordination of married men as priests, and what they thought-out pagan honor of an Amazonian statue of a pregnant woman that was featured at the time of the meeting.
Francis has protected his outlook and priorities as a mirror image of the Gospel, and the principle that the real tradition of the church is one of a discerned path of change.
“Tradition is not static, it’s dynamic,” he announced at the time of his Christmas address.
