I genuinely wonder if people ever get tired of their obsession with pressuring the Church to drop its teachings, to change, to conform to the modern world. It's like... no one is forcing you to be Catholic. Why be so insistent on remaking the Church in your own image? That's an evil intention.

[@therealong]

There you have something to chew on...

[@hishlev]

Why not? Why shouldn't people question what they see as problematic with the Church given that the collective Church itself has no issues giving its opinions on what it sees as problems with the secularised, modern world? Is it evil only when others do it?

[@Catholicscontinue]

@@hishlev because we follow what God wants not what men want. God established the sacraments and the commandments. That will not change. Ever.

[@joelsommers]

@@Catholicscontinue Speaking as someone who grew up Southern Baptist, I admittedly have little exposure to or understanding of Catholicism. I don't mean to disrespect you or your faith, but I have to ask... You said, "we follow what God wants not what men want. God established the sacraments and the commandments. That will not change. Ever." But actually, we've seen many changes to the Gospel and changes to church doctrine (yours and mine) over the centuries haven't we? Just for example, no one really thinks the King James version of the Bible is heretical, just because it differs slightly from other versions of the Bible. "Version" necessarily stipulates "changes." And that's with the Word itself. So when you talk with certainty about the unchanging nature of the sacraments and the commandments, it seems to be without an acknowledgment of history and of how change has already touched your faith and mine in the nearly two thousand years since Christ died for our sins. The commandments in particular had to be transcribed from God's voice to a man's language, onto tablets. But the original text of the tablets have since been repeated and copied over generations in many languages. They have been studied by linguists who try to translate earlier or later copies of the commandments. The version of the commandments we read in Bibles today are the end result of countless filters, translations, and conclaves negotiating their current (possibly final) form. I'm not saying God was not always guiding this process, always giving divine clarity to the men who oversaw the journey of the commandments to our most recent version of them. But I guess I am saying for us to dismiss the fallibility of human beings and their role in bringing us the commandments as we know them today seems arrogant and haughty--human frailties that any version of Christianity understands to be perilous and ungodly.

[@nimekupata]

@@joelsommerswe have seen changes to the Bible as well because of literal, moral, allegorical, and analogical interpretations. More than 700 different languages too. How can people know any of that is correct??? The word of God doesn’t change? Yeah, only if you don’t use your brain.

My understanding is that The Church only agreed to do this interview if it had both input into the translation and the editing of the content as well as final say over the ultimate publication of the interview. The Church also required the questions to be submitted in advance of the meeting and (according to CBS) even returned edits to the phrasing of some of the questions to be more respectful or less confrontational. BTW, I think The Church was both justified and smart to impose these terms. The media has an anti-religious bias and it would be chronically self-destructive for The Church not to require its oversight and approval in exchange for access Pope Francis.

Great interview Norah. The Church will continue and increase what Pope Francis has started. Pope Francis the First indeed.

[@grantbernard3004]

It's unfortunate that Francis is not being directly translated nor is an unedited version of the interview being released. This interview is Pope Francis according to CBS news.

[@Nonameforyoudangit]

Kind of... they did pretty well. He provided very PR-friendly responses, frankly. *edit* I take it back about the translation! It was inaccurate. It's one thing if media is only translating language, but they needed someone to translate language *and* doctrine. Better that the translator provided a direct translation manuscript and let people research doctrinal parts.

[@outwest6338]

No translation necessary. His very countenance emits deception and evil.

I love Pope Francis.. Forgive HIM for not pleasing every hearts. It is not easy for HIM AS POPE.. Leader of the CATHOLIC CHURCH.. I love this interviewed .. I know HIM better now.. AFTER ALL WE ALL ARE HUMAN BEING THAT MAKE MISTAKES AND BAD DECISIONS… , so does HIM.. NOT FREE OF SINS or MAKING BAD DECISIONS AS CHURCH LEADER.. SO DOES SAINT PETER.. I ONLY HOPE HE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO LEAD CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH THE LOVE AND BLESSINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT..

Norah done an amazing job with the utmost respect,humour and humility.His Holiness is an exceptional man who has brought me back to the church after spending too many years away from God and my faith.God bless all of you who read this and I hope and sincerely pray for everyone who may need my prayers during this troubled and uncertain time with senseless wars where the innocent suffer the most.

This was a spiritual interview and a watershed epiphany for Nora O'Donnell as a journalist and Catholic. No wonder she no longer wants to anchor but conduct more thought-provoking newsworthy interviews as a senior correspondent. Good luck, Nora.

They want women to be girl bosses. Being religious is not about that, it's not about looking for a position of power, it's about being humble and humiliating yourself.

yeah but like at its insane prevalence in the church

That was not the point! We know abuse is everywhere but usually if a person is caught they will get time in prison but there is a case when a single priest had over a thousand cases but never brought to justice.

Very inspiring to hear words of wisdom ,holding intact doctrine of the church with conviction addressing the mindset and attitude, not politically correct yet Christlike approach to face challenges in Spirit of Law. Not easy to sail in stormy sea,with grace of God and in prayers, one can negotiate to build bridge of love and compassion for all childrens of God. Care for creation and move forward in progressive mind with constructive approach. Thanks and God bless you all.

[@nyworker]

As a Catholic born in the 1950's we grew up with the depth of Catholic mysteries. Though we thought we we were modern and worldly here in the United States, truth is the world and other cultures were a mystery. Love the media or hate the media, the miracle of the media is how much it has opened our eyes to the world and other cultures. There is much of an information overload in our minds. Meanwhile the deepest mysteries of life are answered by an extreme right in the church that offers little new or a left that appears to ignore them.

[@MPFXT]

When Bergoglio wears white I understand the usage of the term snowflake.

[@nyworker]

@@MPFXT Remember we've had several popes in our lifetimes. He is more like Pope John XXIII, who was from a poor family and had a heart for the poor. Followed by Paul VI and JP II, the hardliners on theology and anti-marxists etc. Pope Francis actually had the background in science and knows how it drives capitalism plus the science-religion debate in the world. The Catholic Religion is diminishing because people won't accept religious mystery as an explanation, though the human neocortex is still a mystery.

[@MPFXT]

@@nyworker I don't think he's the Pope - it's simply not possible given the Church's doctrines on papal infallibility. It takes time to sort out an antipope but the Church as ever will survive.

[@nyworker]

@@MPFXT He's very good at articulating himself that he is more with the people than the hierarchy. A humble pastor and not a monarch.

If that's what you identify him as, but what if he identifies himself as a snowflake. You should respect his self-identity as a snowflake, just as the woke Jesuit educated interviewer is a snowflake.

[@lexhawkins7442]

He did?

[@MPFXT]

True Facts: Amoris Laetitia contradicts the mandate of Jesus & 2,000 years of perennial Magisterial teaching that forbids divorce & re-marriage. The end result is for adulterous couples committing sacrilege. Fiducia Supplicans condones the blessing of same-sex couples - what Cardinal Muëller rightfully calls"blasphemous". Abhu Dhabi heretically states that "God wills a plurality of religions". The list goes on & on. Does Bergoglio hate people who are in adulterous relationships and people who have same-sex attractions and people who follow false religions? He must not care about these people who are in a state of mortal sin and being led to hell. JESUS, St Paul & the Church are crystal clear about confronting and fighting against false doctrine that will inevitably come.
