Catholic is a church established by Jesus Christ and ordered St Peter to to take care and it is 2000 years old. We maintain the church principals in Catholic faith. Thank as being a Catholic.PNG.
The history of the CHURCH tells us how many adptations it has faced. There are more than 20 rites in the Catholic Church. Evangelization has to encounter languages, cultures, customs. The gospel, if we want to imitate Jesus, is transmitting us so good examples of His. Jesus was going to te sinners, to the pagans. He found there openness and faith. He destroyed traditions which had become a means of power and abuse. He was opening the eyes of the disciples on many false ways of living religion. He wanted to open the possibilities to the poor of participating to cultic expressions without being obliged to observe innumerable impositions and payment of taxes on many things, which resulted in keeping submitted the poor and making feeling them sense of culpability if they were not able to comply with all these impositions. etc. etc. etc.
The lack of clarity in pronouncements from the Holy Father is causing deep division amongst faithful Roman Catholics. The Pope should cease speaking so vehemently about "inclusion" and "equity". Why? Because the Roman Catholic Church is already BASED on these noble concepts. We have always worked _with_ the poor. We have always worked _for_ the poor. Our priests and nuns have set up missions amongst the poorest of the poor, and these missions are not just for evangelisation - they are for medical care, education, and creating opportunities to generate healthy incomes from meaningful employment. The pope must recognise that the Roman Catholic Church is already working for the marginalised - that's the reason he was stationed where he was! Admitted, the Pope must have had adverse experiences in this context during his pastoral work in South America. Maybe he found the hierarchy tardy to respond to his cries for aid for his flock. Maybe he saw double standards in the public lifestyle and the private lifestyle of his superiors all the way up to the Vatican. Maybe, he witnessed deep selfishness amongst the lay people themselves when it came to aiding and assisting the less fortunate. Maybe, maybe, maybe...! Maybe there are many things that make our Pope Francis' heart bleed for the poor and needy. We appreciate him deeply for that empathy and that sympathy for the poor and the underprivileged, and even the other types of social outcastes. It is a very Christ-like quality that the Pope exhibits in his concern for the marginalised. For that we praise him and support him. But in other matters his behaviour is hard to digest. He needs to let us know what the Church is going to do about same-sex marriage, same-sex cohabitation, same-sex activity. By saying one thing and doing something else he stands to lose credibility amongst us the faithful. This wishy-washy behaviour harms those ppl who are hopeful of the Church coming through on the same-sex issues mentioned above. The other big question is about women's ordination. Is the Church going to allow women to become regular deacons? Is the Church going to allow ordination of women to the priesthood? Just answer these questions with clarity, transparency, and honesty. That's all we ask for. HC-JAIPUR (28/11/2024) .
The Liturgy of the Eucharist must be simple and humble just like it was from the beginning. The community of believers that has begun on the Last Supper over 2000 years ago was so simple and humble. There were holy women and the Blessed Mother and of course the Apostles and other disciples. It does not mean ordaining women to the priesthood, but, rather involving them to be part of the communal activity like from the beginning.
Our beautiful Catholic faith is being very much attacked, being very much weakened,when I was a child, before the 1960 synod, our Catholic faith was very strong, , now so few going to Mass it's very frightening, no respect even during Mass, during the distribution of the Most Bessed Sacrament,,,,, priests are not hearing confessions often enough, people going to Holy Communion, without confessions for years, so frightening, what is happening our beautiful faith which was carried down from Jesus here on Earth, Pope Francis is going against and weakening the true strong Catholic faith, ,,, can Good Bishops and Cardinals not please help, I'm Irish which was so strong in Faith, sending young men as priests over every corner of the world, this was through poverty, and famine , and fighting hard to keep our faith strong against evil , trying to destroy the Catholic faith,. Now our holy men from within our faith are doing this,,, Oh! Dear Jesus who Sacraficed Himself on earth to leave us this beautiful faith, please help us ❤❤
Most churches has become money making machine. They have lost the missionary zeal. Th bishops and priests have become indulged in their own ways and in the allure of modern world.
The world has changed. The teachings, dogma, traditions, Bible of the Church has not changed yet. The Church has allowed some changes in the liturgy. Not in the basic wording of the sacraments but I can see it coming. What all of us who claim to be followers of the One Holy Catholic Church must remember is that we are the body of Christ on earth. The only thing that has not changed is GOD, He is the same today as He was yesterday and will be the same tomorrow. We are His Church, He gave us that along with His words. I would like to see the man or men that think they are great enough of a being to take it upon himself or themselves to change the words of the Son of God! But since I am a follower of Jesus Christ I will continue to follow His lead, words and commands. I will continue to carry my Cross and follow Him!
I agree with Pope Francis. The church has stopped evangelizing. It has become stagnant. The bishops and priest should evangelize outside of their comfort zone.
It does not depend on any religion when Christ comes a second time. It depends on our only allegiance to Christ alone. The church cannot save you. Only Christ can. Receive the Eucharist and the sacrament of confession.
The Church of Christ is simple, humble and poor. Jesus Christ does not live in palaces of Cathedrals or churches that are defiling His most precious Body, Blood and Soul and Divinity.
I support the Pope. Christ will not only come back for Christians. He will come for all humanity because He died for all of mankind. Focus on Jesus alone and His teachings as written in the scriptures.
Mary Sammut. How many of Pope Francis's documents have you read. I have read most of them I have printed copies of them ..Admirable Signum... Sublimitas et Miseria Hominis.... Totum Amoris est.... Evangelii Gaudium.... Gaudete etc Exsultate.... Querida Amazonia.... Laudato Si......Amoris Laetitia.... If you want to know what Pope Francis.said/wrote. go to the source and not to his critics who will give you one or two quotations out of context and use speculation and innuendos and snide remarks.
We will always have the Poor and needy we have and will always have people struggling with addictions , with every kind of perversion, with all sorts of wants , a bit of cheating here a bit of stealing there but for our pope to change the catholic doctrines of the church so as to mercifully include all sinners without the need to fight, control, and defeat their cross is not the church Christ instituded .And to follow . support and partake in this unchristian club would be most ungodly and sinful and sadly no longer for me . Surely help and comfort the hungry and needy and every suffering soul on earth but Christ and his catholic church must be and always be first . Bring pope francis guiding to it's conclusion we would have a tremendously popular church where everyone would be accepted and loved by their neighbour . No more need to resist or battle temptation or hardship . Be yourself be your own pronouns bring in the guitars and we can all sing a good hearty "Amen"
The Church needs to get back to where we lost our faith before Vatican 11 many people today haven’t a clue about the Faith it needs to return to teaching the true Faith from the pulpit with priests who know the what the True Faith is and how to follow its teachings as Christ taught his Apostles especially the power and presence of the Holy Eucharist many people today don’t before about Confession it’s not their fault in the last 30 to 40 years sins and Confession never seem to be mentioned at Mass
Christ is there, but you do not see him - he does not look like a prelate; he welcomes all - he is inclusive. He is not arrogant and prejudiced. You are right about Catholic faith; this is not Christian faith. Allow Christ to come in
Jesus Said, The gates of Hell will never prevail against our Church,, 😢
I agree with you that we are loosing the essence of the Roman Catholic Church.We must fight to retain the pure identity of the Catholic Church
Don't worry about it.

Thumbs up!
He is forming a One World Church with many customs and foreign religions and a bit of Catholic. It all started with V2. Not my Holy Catholic Church.
Jesus Christ is the center and if He is not watch out.
God bless.
AMEN 😇🙏❤🌹
Many cardinals living in comfort in their cathedrals and churches. They should go out and preach to every corner of the cities they live in.

You can see the failure of the church of francis, almost empty church attendance, no mention of sin.

Nothing is good from that Synod, stay with old tradition

Popo never call the faithful for repentence. He endorce every serious sin. Whom is pope trying to please..... God or man?
I don't accept the Pope 's teachings. He is taking us away from God. Keep steadfast in Christ 's teachings. Believe and trust in Him.
How many of the Pope's documents have you read?
I support the Pope. Christ will not only come back for Christians. He will come for all humanity because He died for all of mankind. Focus on Jesus alone and His teachings as written in the scriptures.

Talking evil against the Pope is a sin against the Holy Spirit. The 12❤ apostles headed by the Pope are filled with Holy Spirit.
So we should ‘gloss over’ the bad popes in the church for fear of sinning against the Holy Spirit ?
