Above all Popes, this is the man trying most to appease all and diminish the lines between the churches and drawing them away from God and to the traditions of men and under the authority of the papacy. In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God Robert Mickens, the Vatican correspondent for the Catholic journal The Tablet, said the pontiff’s comments were further evidence of his attempts to shake off the Catholic Church’s fusty image, reinforced by his extremely conservative predecessor Benedict XVI. “Francis is a still a conservative,” said Mr Mickens. “But what this is all about is him seeking to have a more meaningful dialogue with the world.” From the symbolism of him stooping to wash a Muslim woman’s feet to his harsh lambasts against a culture of greed and consumerism, this Jesuit, Pope Francis, from Argentina has captured the collective imagination of the world...can anyone repeat after me: Rev_13:3 ...and all the world wondered after the beast. Also, if claiming to be God on earth...he mocks the righteousness of the judgement of God by his saying: "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” — Pope Francis, July 2013 SOURCE: independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-assures-atheists-you-dont-have-to-believe-in-god-to-go-to-heaven-8810062.html
