Pope
Francis urged members of all religions and those belonging to no church
on Wednesday to unite to defend justice, peace and the environment and
not allow the value of a person to be reduced to “what he produces and
what he consumes”. Francis, elected a week ago as the first non-European
pope in 1,300 years, met leaders of non-Catholic Christian
religions such as Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans and Methodists, and
others including Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus. ”The Catholic
Church is aware of the importance of furthering respect of friendship
between men and women of different religious traditions,” the Argentine
pontiff told the religious leaders in an audience at the
Vatican. Speaking in Italian in the frescoed Sala Clementina, he said
members of all religions and even non-believers had to recognize their
joint responsibility “to our world, to all of creation, which we have to
love and protect. ”We must do much for the good of the poorest, the
weak, and those who are suffering, to favor justice, promote
reconciliation and build peace,” he said. Francis told the religious
leaders to fight “a one-dimensional vision of a human person, according
to which man is reduced to what he produces and what he consumes,” which
he said was “one of the most dangerous snares of our times”.
While
he said history had shown that any attempt to eliminate God had
produced “much violence,” he reached out to those who seek truth,
goodness and beauty without belonging to any religion. ”They are our
precious allies in the commitment to defend human dignity, build a more
peaceful coexistence among people and protect nature with care,” he
said. Francis’ description of people who belong to no religion as
“precious allies” in the search for truth was a marked contrast to the
attitude of former Pope Benedict, who sometimes left non-Catholics
feeling that he saw them as second-class believers. Since his election a
week ago, Francis has set the tone for a new, humbler papacy, calling
on the Church to defend the weak and protect the environment. In another
sign of his simpler style, Francis addressed the religious leaders
while seated in a beige armchair and not the usual elaborate throne used
in the ornate hall for audiences. More

And here we go....

Exactly what I was thinking - boy that was quick!!

Ok, fine by me - let's get this show on the road so we can get out of here. We know it will happen because the Word of God says it will, so sounds like Franny is a "get-er-done" kind of guy. Let's pray for the last souls that will come into the Kingdom and then GO HOME!

Look at the double-speak! " Francis told the religious
leaders to fight “a one-dimensional vision of a human person, according
to which man is reduced to what he produces and what he consumes,” which
he said was “one of the most dangerous snares of our times”."

let's break this down - "...fight a one-dimensional vision of human person" meaning our understanding of a dimensional vision human person is no longer acceptable....Should it then include the multi-dimensional of fallen?

- Don't judge someone who has a different eating habit "reduced to what he produces and what he consumes"...so don't judge those who cannot reproduce as we do (give life through reproduction). Don't judge those who consume blood?

- "One of the most dangerous snares of our times" He got that right!

I saw change from the 0ne who produced -0, no different here, just another man speaking, except adorned in more shiny trinkets.

All others get behind the Messiah.
