A chara, – Perhaps Liam Cooke (September 23rd) rather than wondering what the Jesus Christ of the Gospels might do, would consider taking up Pope Francis’s offer to encounter the same Jesus Christ in the church and the Gospel?
It seems to me that His words on judgment and beams and motes, (Mth 71:-3) and straining gnats and swallowing camels (Mth 23:24) are pertinent.
Peter’s – and therefore the Pope’s – entrusted task is to feed the flock (John 21) and strengthen his brethren (Luke 22). Binding and loosing (Mth 18) is at the service of that task of bringing Jesus Christ to the world.
Pope Francis brings new vigour and a new method to proclaiming the eternal Jesus Christ.
He is a pontiff, a bridge builder – not a regulator. – Is mise,
