Pope Francis and the gentle revolution | DW Documentary

On March 13, 2013 a conclave of cardinals chose the Argentinian Jorge Mario Bergoglio to succeed Josef Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) as pope. The new leader asked to be called Francis after the “little poor man” of Assisi. He longed, he said, for a poor Church - to serve the poor. Almost immediately the new pope set about reforming the Vatican, vowed to confront and root out child abuse in the Catholic Church, raised his voice in support of climate activists and sought dialogue with other religions. On December 17 the reformer will be 85-years-old.
DW looks back on what this pope has achieved in the last eight years: the opposition he has met with, and where he appears to have failed. We interview people close to him, his supporters and critics among the clergy, and Main Street Catholics - with their hopes and expectations of the “little poor man” in the Vatican.

Yes, corrupt "familyist" family members. The church is a 'do-ing' role not an 'be-ing' identity. I believe the corruption is of diseased "familyist" family members gaining short-term tax and insurance advantages for their families by grooming emotionally and or psychologically vulnerable family members with occult as hidden, incest connected as substitute mate, non-economic status inducements ("higher vocation" or association with "higher vocation") in consequence suffering uncontrollable "oscillation between persistent forms of regressive "familyism" [identity] on the one hand and an affirmation of radical individualism [role] on the other that, in destroying the family reverses the progress of humanisation, heedless of the long-term consequences of so doing." (from the address of Pope Francis' delegate as his President of his Council for the Family, Cardinal Vincenzo Paglia, at the UNO on the UNO designated "The International Day of the Family, 15 May 2014).

[@bradleyhauf312]

Yeah Aaron's sister was a high priestess rather a priestess... So we know priestess is a position within the church... And also there's that scripture that says it's not good for man to be alone... It also said to be of one wife and these were the church elders they were looking for to be priests... Despite what was world years ago by human making we still have scriptures to back up that it's the right of the priests to marry priestess is a position within the church in Saint Valentine would marry people all the time... Our forefathers the prophets happened to have wives... So it's only logical of the logos to be priests of one wife... There are too many factors that attribute to these debaucheries which can be thwarted through the procreative love of a priest and a woman... I remember someone saying they adversary said that the baby boomers were it's downfall and that they had children... From all this I hope that you love what he loves and hate what he hates...

I do respect DW. It is serious and tries to be impartial. But one can see it leaning towards the progressive side. They interviewed a lot of progressive voices, but we didn’t hear anyone explaining why it’s important to valorize tradition. And I think that’s important. And using terms like “old fashioned” this and that in a negative way... The Church should not be from our time, nor from the past or the future. It’s intemporal and universal. Many movements that are trending in our days may cease tomorrow. But the Church shall and will carry on. The German progressives must not forget that in Catholic perspective, the Church is Divinely guided. In their rush to reform everything they may end forgetting God and His role. If the situation is not dealt accordingly, like Pope Francis is doing, there may be a Schism, which would be terrible. But God shall guide His Church as He has done for Ages.

I'm happy to know that there is a homeless shelter--originally destined to be a luxury hotel--right by the Vatican. However, here is an important question: Why isn't there a fund dedicated to getting these individuals out of poverty and out of homelessness? Why not energy invested in mental health, addiction detox centers, employment centers, etc? Poverty should be a circumstantial state of affairs, not a marker of lifetime identity. There is God-given dignity in work and in the ability to overcome hardship.

[@theosteven3362]

Poverty in lower level has been a concerned and charity of church. In indonesia, there are many training center. But erasing poverty is not the core of chriatianity. The core of christianity is being poor to be actually precise just like jesus. Jesus was once asked what was the last thing to do in order to enter heaven, he said "sell all your belongings and join me". Making people prosperous is not the core of christians teaching. But church has always been helping at least they are not hungry and lack of food.

[@theosteven3362]

@@kathrynseton1 yes you are right. BUT the spirit of the poverty is proven with detachment of material lavishness thats why jesus told the man who asked Him how to enter heaven is by LEAVING ALL HIS WEALTHINESS. That needs to be emphasized. It is true that it is not the SOLE way to heaven or even necessary to begin with, but this is what Jesus prefers us to do if we can.

[@theosteven3362]

@@kathrynseton1 again, i dont see anything of your comment against mine. Indeed christianity is about obedient to god's command, and the God commanded the man who came to Him asking how can i be saved, and the God responded by saying "SELL ALL YOUR POSSESIONS" (matt 19:21). He specifically said ALL. And He knew the rich man COULD NEVER, and never that He said this is the PRINCIPAL OF SALVATION, the principals are in the previous verse (obey all the commandments). But He implied that He prefers you without nothing than having anything. This is NOT THE SOLE PRINCIPAL, but JESUS PREFERS THIS WAY. The passage couldnt be clearer LOL.

Pope Francis is Jesus’ ‘End Times’ sign for His Second Coming. The reason Jesus calls our first Pope, St. Peter, ‘Satan’, is because Peter is talking and thinking like the secular world. Pope Francis talks and thinks like the secular world. Matthew 16:23 He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Jesus prophetic sign for His Second Coming, when we go into Messianic Reign on earth, is that we will see: Matthew 24: (after the gospel has been proclaimed around the world) ‘The Desolating Abomination Standing in the Holy Place’ Through locutions to St. Faustina (1930s), Jesus and the Blessed Mother, instruct us to prepare the world for Jesus' Second Coming. Hallelujah! Let Jesus Come to Rule the world, and take us into Messianic Reign, and His Kingdom Come, on free-willed earth! Divine Mercy in My Soul, 635, The Blessed Virgin Mary : ... you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge. Oh, how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it. Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time for [granting] mercy. If you keep silent now, you will be answering for a great number of souls on that terrible day.

Sunday prayer was adopted from Sun Worshipers. Sunday = Sun+day = day for the sun god Pine trees and snow was adopted from Norse tradition of northern Europe where pine trees grow well and snow comes in every winter. there is no pine tree and snow in Bethlehem or Jerusalem but rocks and sand. Many more on the list. Yes, in term of religion, Paul of Rome is the greatest imitator of all time.

A Liberal Catholic... That's an oxymoron. I must add that this kind of religious relativism is only in Europe or North America where its pressured to do so. In Africa and African Catholic mission schools the Church is still pretty much the same as it was in the 1950s.

By doing the opposite of one of these you have done an offence to FIRST and FOREMOST the God of heaven, Jesus Christ the son and also grieves the Holy Spirit(consequently leading to the unpardonable sin in the long run). With that being said you not loved your neighbor as yourself when we fail to uphold one of these ten. May God bless an keep you all in a time such as this.

One of Francis’ presenters to promote his encyclical on the environment was an atheist named Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, who claims that the world is overpopulated by at least six billion people. He is a promoter of world government and an earth constitution that would hold power over every government and nation. Francis promoted Hans Joachim Schellnhber to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. “The earth never forgives! Protect our sister earth, our mother earth, so that she does not react with destruction.” - Francis, address, Nov. 20, 2014 "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." - 1 Corinthians 10:26

[@John-jf8lw]

“Do you need to convince the other to become Catholic? No, no, no!” - Francis, in a video at the Shrine of St. Cajetan, Aug. 7, 2013 “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or heretics or schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives. … and that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.” - Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441

Here from news article : " As little as 10% of donations by Roman Catholics that are specifically advertised as helping the poor and suffering actually go toward charitable work, The Wall Street Journal reports. About two-thirds of the rest of the $55 million in annual donations for Pope Francis’ charitable appeal, known as Peter’s Pence, is used to fill the Vatican’s administrative budget deficit, the report says. The Holy See’s deficit in 2018 doubled to more than $76 million on a budget of around $333 million."

Jesus was very progressive, yet he did not have women as apostles. It's therefore not the Pope who refuses to ordain women. The stand with which Christ stood for women shows that refusing to have women apostles was not just an issue of culture.

[@schiffelers3944]

Are you sure he had no female disciples or apostles? Just like many/most Muslims will not agree there is a gay Imam, even if there is.... Even if there were, the society on mass would not have recognized them for their worth. Just like there have been a few female popes for very short periods of time. Erasing parts of history did not make them not happen.

Mary Magdalene was an apostle. I think that they were written out of the gospels. There were many female leaders in the early church.
