Papal Notes - Francis Vs. Jeremiah

JEREMIAH
Thus saith the LORD, 
Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. 
But they said, We will not walk therein.
Jeremiah 6:16
 
Pope Francis
"At his general audience on Wednesday, Pope Francis warned against preachers who sow division and mistrust online.
 
There is no shortage of preachers who, especially through the new means of communication, can disturb communities....” the pope said June 23.


And they strongly affirm that the true Christianity is the one they adhere to, often identified with certain forms of the past, and that the solution to the crises of today is to go back so as not to lose the genuineness of the faith. Today too, as then, there is a temptation to close oneself up in some of the certainties acquired in past traditions.”


Pope Francis
said that these “new preachers” can be recognized by their “rigidity,” which contrasts with “preaching the Gospel that makes us free, makes us joyful.” HearldMalaysia
