“In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his meekness. And ideologies are rigid, always. Of every sign: rigid. And when a Christian becomes a disciple of the ideology, he has lost the faith: he is no longer a disciple of Jesus, he is a disciple of this attitude of thought… For this reason Jesus said to them: ‘You have taken away the key of knowledge.’ The knowledge of Jesus is transformed into an ideological and also moralistic knowledge, because these close the door with many requirements. The faith becomes ideology and ideology frightens, ideology chases away the people, distances, distances the people and distances of the Church of the people. But it is a serious illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness, but it is not new, eh?”
I'm sure no Christian fundamentalists will take his message to heart however.

Not everyone, but I'm certain that the religious figure head of Catholicism's words will change some people at least.
He has my respect, anyway.

This would be great. Francis is incredibly popular with all but the most hardcore Catholics and if there was a challenger to his seat the fallout would finally end that organization of money laundering, chocolate chip cookie smuggling, child rapist fuckheads.
