Pope Francis Insists Church Must Help Poor, Not 'Speak Of Theology'

The man is right on!!!!


"Today, and it breaks my heart to say it, finding a homeless person who has died of cold, is not news. Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don't have food - that's not news. This is grave. We can't rest easy while things are this way."
The crowd, most of whom are already involved in charity work, interrupted him often with applause.
"We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most)," he said.

With all due respect, I don't think that Catholics can speak about their theology, parts of which openly contradicts Scripture. They don't seem to want to talk about the Council of Trent and how they cursed people to hell. I doubt if the Pope really wants to remind people that he is the self-appointed Vicar of Christ, not to mention all of the made-up doctrines about Mary, etc.

Christian intellectual and evangelist Ravi Zacharias says, “What I believe in my heart must make sense in my mind.” Catholicism does not make sense in peripheral areas.
