Which sin? Ours, mine and yours,\u201d the pope said in the message, released by the Vatican on Saturday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mercy is a history of our sin, not a stuck-up theory.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his own conceit, Francis has a contempt for those who are in any way superior.\u00a0 But the human race varies.\u00a0 We all have different gifts.\u00a0 Sometimes we&#8217;re even gifted with painful, humbling situations. \u00a0 Some people are less sinful and more virtuous.\u00a0 Some have given much and received much in return.\u00a0 Some people are materially gifted.\u00a0 Some spiritually.\u00a0 Some both.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know who else has hatred for the superior?\u00a0 Satan.\u00a0 That&#8217;s why he&#8217;s a radical, rebellious, and ready to overturn good order.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He said mercy is also \u201ca love to be praised. Which love? The love of God, who has shown me mercy,\u201d Francis said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mercy is everything, everything &#8216;the Francis&#8217; says it is.\u00a0 In this case it&#8217;s praise for God since he forgave my sins, the sins that we all have regardless of who, what, or when, regardless of course correction or repentance.\u00a0 Why repent when it&#8217;s arrogant not to have sins?\u00a0 Why repent when mercy means I should remember my sins, their history, and never forget them?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Remembering \u201cour sin and not our alleged merits\u201d and being amazed by God\u2019s mercy, the pope said, \u201cis a sure message, sound teaching, and never empty talk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Remembering one&#8217;s sins so as to avoid them in the future, and humbly declining to dwell on one&#8217;s merits, particularly if they&#8217;re only &#8216;alleged&#8217;, are good practices, but somehow this strikes me as &#8216;an unsure message, unsound teaching, and always empty talk.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Communists don&#8217;t believe in merit.\u00a0 For them merit is only alleged.\u00a0 People are paid based on merit and that&#8217;s unequal, see.\u00a0 The merit of Christ won salvation for us.\u00a0 Our corresponding, cooperating merit will, please God, help win our own.\u00a0 But winning or earning anything is evil to FrancisRadicals.\u00a0 We must only sit in our sins and savor them, not begging God for mercy, but thanking Him for the mercy we already got, and never attempting to do something which might add to our &#8216;alleged merit.&#8217;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The pope also said that one becomes scandalized when \u201cspiritual Alzheimer\u201d sets in: \u201cwhen we forget how the Lord has treated us, when we begin to judge and divide people up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This judging of others, Francis said, leads to a fragmentation of society and the community, creating groups of \u201cgood and bad, saints and sinners.\u201d That, in turn, means forgetting the \u201crichest reality and the clearest teaching: Though we are all sinners, the Lord has unfailingly treated us with mercy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A man &#8216;sick with power&#8217;, the Argentine Nuncio called Cardinal Bergoglio.\u00a0 There can be no good or bad groups?\u00a0 What if you have somehow assembled ten good men?\u00a0 Is that not a good group?\u00a0 What if eight holy women pray the Rosary after Mass?\u00a0 Am I evil if I judge them to be relatively good?\u00a0 What about ISIS?<\/p>\n<p>What is the Church Militant if we can make no judgment on the &#8216;merits&#8217; of <em>that<\/em> group?<\/p>\n<p><strong>All of us being hopeless sinners, unable to reform, and papered-over by Christ, is the teaching of the nefarious megalomaniac and FrancisIdol, Martin Luther.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pope Francis\u2019 video was more than 30-minutes long, recorded for a gathering taking place in Colombia, with over 15 cardinals and 120 bishops, together with priests and laity.
