Francis: “Insulting is not Christian! Even words kill”


francis don't be tourists on your jouney to faith!!!
Bergoglio should follow his own advice and stop insulting Catholics! The Bishop of Rome,  Francis-Bergoglio has Only insulted traditional Catholics and praised heretical sects, i.e., regarding the Latin Mass Bergoglio said the following: “when I search more thoroughly, I find that it is rather a kind of fashion. And if it is a fashion, therefore it is a matter that does not need that much attention. It is just necessary to show some patience and kindness to people who are addicted to a certain fashion!! The bishop of Rome even has the gall to mock/insult a child praying reverently, “are your hands bound together? It looks like they’re stuck!!” Haereticus Francis – Bergoglio should practice what he preaches!! 

Insulting is not Christian and we must not kill with words.

At today’s Angelus Francis spoke about fraternal correction and sent out an appeal for the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine: “I pray that … the dialogue that has started will continue to bear the fruit that is hoped.”

Insulting is not Christian and we must not kill with words. Commenting on today’s Gospel reading on fraternal correction, Pope Francis stressed that relations between Christians and between Christians and others must reflect a spirit of charity and an awareness that we are all sinners and need God’s mercy.
 “How do I correct another Christian when he or she does a bad thing?” Francis asked. “I have to use charity towards him/her and, first of all, talk to him/her personally.” Francis recalled the three steps the Gospel suggests should be taken: “talk to him personally, explaining that what he has said or done is not good. And if the brother does not listen to me? Jesus suggests a progressive intervention: first, go back with two or three other people to make him more aware of the mistake he has made. If, despite this, he does not accept the exhortation, I need to tell the community. And if he won’t even listen to the community, I need to make him feel the fracture and detachment that he himself has caused, by failing in communion with our brothers and sisters in the faith.
“Fraternal correction” is a “reciprocal service.” It is rooted in the awareness that we are all sinners and that Jesus “invites everyone, saints and sinners, to his table.” Francis then went on to condemn gossip as he has done on various other occasions in the past: On this path of fraternal correction “it is first necessary to avoid the clamor of news and the gossip of the community.”
“An attitude of gentleness, prudence, humility, and attention against those who have committed a crime, avoiding that words can hurt and kill the brother … When I make an unfair criticism, when I “curse” a brother with my tongue, this is killing the reputation of the other!” Fraternal correction “also helps us – us – to free ourselves from anger or resentment which only hurt: that bitterness of the heart that brings anger and resentment, and that lead us to insult and attack. But it is very bad to see this come out of the mouth of a Christian as an insult or an attack! It’s bad! Got it? No insults! Insulting is not Christian!” He stressed this idea twice in order to highlight the importance of this concept.
By correcting our brothers and sisters, we are doing them a service because we are all sinners and the best way to prepare ourselves properly for mass is to reflect on the fact that we are all sinners and then that God is merciful with everyone. “The same conscience that makes me recognize the mistake of the other, beforehand reminds me that I have erred and wronged so many times. “And it is the same Jesus who invites us all, saints and sinners, to his table by gathering us on the main crossroads, the various situations life.”
At the end of the Angelus prayer, recited in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis sent out a special appeal for the Russo-Ukrainian crisis that is still raging. “In these last few days have been significant steps in the search for a truce in the regions affected by the conflict in eastern Ukraine. I hope that they can bring relief to the population and contribute to the efforts for a lasting peace. I pray that, in the logic of the meeting, the dialogue that has started will continue to bear the fruit that is hoped,” he said.
